Yesterday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
the stockholders of the Vickery Oil
and Development company met in
the district court room and elected
directors for the ensuing year.
Quite a number of the stockholders
were present and the old board was
reelected. Immediately after adj
journment of the stockholders the
directors met and reelected the
present officers.
At five O'Clock the stockholders OF
the Gracey Mining and Milling
company met and elected directors
for the ensuing year. The meeting
was well attended and quite good
deal of enthusiasm was manifested
in the proceedings.
A report from Superintendent
Scofield, from the mines, was very
favorable. According to his report
"A tunnel has been driven, cutting
the vein, which at a depth OF one
hundred feet gives assay values
from $50 to so per ton. The vein
increased In width. The prospects
for the company are very fattering
and causes muchgood feeling among
the stockholders. The claims OF
this company are located in Utah
aboute 80 miles southwest of Salt
Lake City.
After the stockholders adjourned
the directors met and elected the
following officers:
J. r, Strickland, president; T.. VI
Sleeper, vice president; j. II. Mil
Ter, treasurer; j. A, Gfaeey, secre-
tary and manager.

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
Invited TO Meet in Waxahachie
by Council.

Tie regular monthly meeting OF
the e.ey council was held last night,
Mayor Pickett and full board OF
aldermen being present.
Very little business outside of the
routine work was transacted but the
council was in session nearly three
hours.
There were several petitions up
for consideration. One signed by a
number of citizens recited that a
street had been closed by the Katy
and asked that it be reopened. Pc
tition was granted.
| A petition from G. E. Schuster,
asking for permission to extend a
shed at his livery stable, was read
and granted.
j. r.. King was given permission
to construct an awning at the rear
of his furniture store.
The report of the auditing COM
mittee was read and approved and
the committee discharged.
An ordinance regulating the stor-
age of crude petroleum oil within
the corporate limits for fuel and
heating purposes was placed on its
firs reading. The ordinance is
quite complicated one and had 1t
been passed last night it would have
worked a great hardship on the
plants now in the city using oil for
fuel. Mr.. Strickland was present
and said that immediate passage
meant the closing down of the light
plant for at least sixty days.
An ordinance providing for the is
suance Of S26, 900 worth of refunding
bonds was read, but was passed
over to an adjourned meeting to be
held on May 20 for final action.
A petition signed by several prop
erty holders on Bullard Heights
asking for the extension of four
inch water main to that part of
town, was submitted and referred to
the water committee with power to
act.
A petition for the extension of the
sewerage on Ferris avenue to Mar
vim street was also referred to the
water committee with power to act
