TO The Herald:
Corpus Christi, Texas, Jan. 25.-
The report of the census of this place
which has just been completed shows
the population to be 11,482. The re-
suit removes all doubt as to Corpus
christi's being eligible for new
charter, and steps will at once be
taken to procure one authorizing the
commission form of government. The
popular desire is almost without ex-
ception in favor of the commission
form which has been tried so sue
cessfully elsewhere in Texas.
The increase in population shown
1E Dnsus is considered almost
enaL The figures show an in
- of over 5000 in period of
About five years. At the time the st.
Louis. Brownsville and Mexico rail
road was built to Corpus Christi, the
population was estimated at moi much
over 5000. This means that the pop
Iilation has nearly doubled within the
bast five years.
The great need of civic improve
snents. such as sewers, water-work
extension, better and more street
lights.ssidewalk improvements. etc..
have made our people anxious to try
the Commission form of government,
'EsSich is considered more economical
4ahd more progressive, in the hope
that these needed Improvements may
be more easily secured than seems
possible under the present form.
Ifan new charter is granted by the
Legislature the city will be able to
levy a tax of X per cent; that is to
say. $3.50 on the 500 valuation, as
against the 5000 maximum which
the present charter provides. OF
course. this is the maximum; it can
be placed at any figure less than that
in the discretion of the council In
most cities of the state, which are OPP
Grating under special charters, the
tax rate ranges from s1.3O to $500.
The chief value of special charter
is that it permits the city TO levy

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 265O-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the triI
through the ten States of the Middle
West vas there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily ant
cheaply obtainable. Finally, tn,

TIL wHlrES STEAMER WHICH, MADE A UCCESSF PUBLIC EMONSTRATIO O F EROSENE
AS FUE OF II RECENT 265O.MuE GuDDEN TOUR.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, n coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan.
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis.
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos.
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
ficted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one
