secretary, We find that II. II, Daven-
port & Co. ask for an increase In the
rates OF residential service OF their
system. An amendment OF Sec No,
3, Ordinance Nc. Of, was passed by
the council, granting this increase.
We find that the mayor has vetoed
this amendment, and gives the foil
lowing reasons for his veto:
% Because said amendment was
not submitted, considered, passed
upon and recommended by the ordi-
nance committee as the law requires,
(2) Because It nulliiles and
makes null and void the bond pro-
vided for in Section No. 10, of Or
dinance No. ISL, and that Ordinance
No. 16l, It attempts to amend,
CD Because sufficient time was
not granted the mayor to properly
and sufficiently inform himself as to
the merit of the proposition.
az Because he was not suffi-
GENTLY informed to act intelligently,
and cannot do justice to the people
by the change asked for, that he was
not sufficiently informed to guard
and protect the interests OF the peo-
pie against any imposition or unnec-
essary burdens that might now be
imposed or hereafter arise in said
matter.
(5) That the language expressed
in the amendment Is not sufficiently
explanatory and definite.
90 That he is not certain OF the
equitableness OF the rates proposed
in said amendment
90 Because he knows the grant
ing OF franchises is a matter Of very
great Importance and deserves the
greatest caution, investigation, and
examination before final passage
and adoption, in order to be sure OF
its equity, fairness, at present, and
ultimately, and of its legality, so that
possible dangerous consequences here
after may be avoided, which other
wise become intolerable nuisances
upon cities, without any law to cor
rect.
Upon every point, and in every in.
stance, and on every ground taken
by the mayor, he is backed up by the
unbiased business men OF Amarillo,
by the people at large, who are now,
and who are to be patrons of the new
telephone system; and the Daily Pan
handle wishes to state here and now
that It approves OF the mayors ac-
ton, and will support him in his
contentious and efforts in behalf OF
the people.

Fort Worth. May 26.-With tho
waters Of Trinity river still near the
summit OF It's banks, another great
volume OF water began pouring IN
from west fork Of the river toward
this city late last night. Early to-
day the river Is rising at the rate Of
six inches per hour and with such
conditions, as already prevail, the
outcome, when the crest OF the sec
ond rush OF waters reaches here,
cannot be foretold. II Is certain
that there will DO considerable prop
erty loss and much suffering will re-
suit. From Sunday night until noon
yesterday, the waters receded slowly.
During the afternoon they were at
standstill. Last night, second
rise occurred, the crest OF which
should reach Fort Worth late today.
the number OF dead so far stands at
ten. The railway situation is but
slightly improved and their loss Is
placed at a round million dollars. A
serious situation has developed here
IN regard to the city water supply.
lne mains are filled with black mud
dy water unfit for drinking, even
after being boiled and settled. II
may be week before a normal water
supply is restored.

Kansas City, May 26.--Every field
OF home missionary work was con-
sidered today by the general assem-
bly, OF the Presbyterian church in the
United States. The board explained
this was due to the assumption Of
work OF the Cumberland branch Of
the church. The financial panic was
believed TO have been responsible
for the fact that the increased gifts
did not largely exceed the increased
appropriations. The general assem-
bly, through its committee on col
leges, expressed its gratitude to
John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Car
negie for their generous gifts to
Presbyterian colleges.
