+ Mr.. b. p. Hatcher, of Wichita
Falls, Texas, was in our town the

AMENDMENT
is THE LAW
Telephone Franchise Did Not
Require TWO.ThiTdS Ma
jOrity 10 Garry
(From Fridays Daily)

A majority and not two-third'
majority is sufficient to pass an ordl
nance over the mayors veto, 50 the
telephone amendment which was
adopted several weeks ago by the
city council and which was later We,
toed by Mayor Mars, is finally
adopted. Such is the opinion Of City
Attorney Miller on the subject and
such is the general opinion Of the
members of the council, AT the last
regular meeting Of the council, the
measure came up for vote and the
council passed the amendment after
the mayor had vetoed II. A majority
OF the council, but not n two-thirds
majority voted for the amendment,
and It was thought at the time that
the amendment had been lost be-
cause II had not secured a two-thirds
majority. But later investigation
disclosed the fact that there is no
provision requiring two-thirds ma.
jority In order to pass over a mayors
veto, and the vote at the meeting
two weeks ago accordingly made tho
measure final. The mayors veto Is
thus simply a directory action and
does not carry the weight that the
veto OF a governor or the President
carries in the making OF laws.
Beside the telephone matter which
came in for talk at the meeting last
night, the proposition for new fire
station on the Bowery was formally
presented by Chief Miller. PERMITS
sion will be granted by the fire COM
mtttee after suitable investigation
has been made, for the use of build
Ing which will be secured by the COM
pany and for the use OF equipment
which will be provided by the city.
Requests for the grading OF streets
In certain parts OF the city we're re-
ferred 10 the street committee and
to the street and alley commissioner
with the recommendation that the
work be done as these authorities
see fit. Harrison street, beginning
1t Twelfth will probably be the first
street to be graded.
Charles l.. Green, c. F. Randall
Ind L. A. Wells were appointed as
BOARD OF equalization for the city.
This board is expected to begin work
It once.

OLD PLAYERS To RETURN.
Team for New GlenwOod Park VIII
BE Acquainted.
(From Fridays Dally.)

(from Fridays Daily.)
No introductions will be necessary
for the players or the public in the
case Of most of the members Of the
new baseball team which is being
organized to play at Glenwood. Just
how many men will be secured from
distance for places on the new team
mas not yet been determined but
Vaughan Bell. Weber, McAlester and
smith have already signified their
intention OF coming here and will
arrive in Amarillo in a few days.
Vaughan Bell is a Panhandle pro-
due and is justly one of the most
popular players that ever worked
on the field here. He is a phenome-
nal first baseman and when he is
stationed at first sack, the other
fielders often amuse the bleachers nv
trying o put ball out OF his reach.
he Is 80 accurate at the first sack
mat 1t is almost an achievement for
man to put ball past him even
with the worst OF throws. Weber.
the little pitcher, did wonders last
year against the biggest and heaviest
men the team had to face. He is a
scratch hitter OF the kind that pulls
out runs against the heaviest odds.
Smith is a nervy little player who
works we'll at backstop or in the in
field. McAlester is another little
fellow but he has one OF the best
all around records OF the bunch.
In the outfield he covers his section
completely and as hitter and base
runner he makes every chance count
Another recruit who will work for
Amarillo in some Of the games is
Pug Cavet, OF Canyon. Cavet Is a
southpaw pitcher who has steadily
improved in speed and control till he
is one OF the most formidable men in
the box that any team in this section
has ever shown.
The management OF the team Is
in correspondence with other teams
and has prospects for getting a sat |
isfactory schedule OF games. Special
preparations are being made for a
Fourth OF July game but the team
which will be here on that date has
not yet been decided upon.

by tho department and on July /,
this latest Improvement In local pos.
tai service will be In operation. T,

and the station will be located in his
confectionery at ll2 Lincoln street,
less than square south Of tho union
station.
Big Convenience for Public.

a depot for the sale OF postal sup.
piles. II Will not receive mail ex-
cept in the regular box OF the car
riers' routes and 1t will not for the
present give out any mail. As It is
only Il short distance from the sta
ton and can be reached by passen-
gers from any train while the trains
stop here, it will get big transient
business and will materially increase
the receipts OF the local office from
that source alone. 1t will be a great
convenience TO the people on the
Bowery and at the various railroad
offices and stamp sales and the reg
istry and postal money order bust
ness will undoubtedly be consider
aoly increased because many people
who did without such service rather
than come clear down town can now
get the orders or have reglstrles
made at this office.
Receipts Show Greater Growth.
Although the receipts last year
showed such a phi anomenal rate OF
growth that the postofflce force be-
loved that the present year could
hardly make the gain necessary to
place Amarillo in the first class OF
postofiiccs, the receipts so far this
year are beating the gain set last
year The first quarter of the year
will close on the 3Oth of june. This
quarter is normally the dun quarter
OF the year but the first two weeks
of June which have just been footed
up have established a new record
by showing the biggest receipts Tor
any two weeks in the Offices history.
/ The total Of sales and other receipts
which are figured in this column was
$l,S37 The next nearest to this
was the last half OF December last
year. The total for last year, 1t will
be remembered was $4,000; 100000
will be required to get the office into
the first class and the rate OF in
crease now being shown would land
the office in big city company with
several thousand dollars to spare.
