Uncle Sam Enforces Competi-
tion Bids Upon the Smallest
Purchases

Under the federal regulations of the
postoffice department, every cake OF
soap with which the stamp clerk
cleanses his grimy hands, the cost of
laundering every towel upon which he
wipes them and every supply for the
federal buildings, including light, wat
er, ETC., has to be bought upon a
competitive basis. Postmaster W. NJ.
Mccoy is today advertising for bids
for the supplies needed at the local
federal building for The ensuing fiscal
year which begins April l. The
amount involved is small and as a
rule there are few bidders on tools,
soap and other incidental supplies,
water and lighting being furnished by
the local corporations. Last year the
cost of miscellaneous supplies only
amounted to $50.

PAVING ASSESSMENTS
COME UP IN PROTESTS
Street Car Company and Others
Call Attention 10 Division
Street Appraisement

The council met in adjourned ses-
sion last night but failed TO pass any
o.din-nces owing to there only be
ing six members present. A vote OF
fwo-thjrds Of the body Is necessary
TO the adoption of an ordinance The
city fathers will hold another meet
ing tonight TO transact business
which had TO go over under the
rules.
Although hampered in the consid-
era,on Of several fmpog ogtant ordi-
nances, notably the one giving the

sion Of time in which to carry out its
plans on Vine street in considera-
tion OF the road bearing the major
part of The expense of paving Vine
street, between Oklahoma and War
ner avenues, the council Transacted
considerable other business with dis
patch.
Trouble Over Paving Assessment.
The question which consumed the
greater part Of the meeting was the
paving assessment on South Division
street John Llebhart protested that
he could not make his estimate OF
the cost OF paving along property
which he owned in his Improvement
district, based upon the contract
price Of the work, agree with the
assessment against him and asked
that the council Investigate the mat
ter and provide such relief as might
appear proper Judge ] Fl Bur
ford a'so appeared in behalf Of John
Henderson, who owns part of six lots
in the district. and for the street
railway company. He said that ow-
ing to the peculiar conditions exist
ing these, the property was not
worth the amount OF the assess
ment
Calls Attention TO Contract.
Judge Burford rhen called atten'
tlon 10 the fact that the street rail-
way company had been assessed for
nine feet of paving under recent
law, whereas the contract entered
into be'wcen the company and the
city, which has never been abrogat-
cd or amended. only required the
company to pave a little over six
feet of the street. Consequently, IT,
as he believed, the street car com
pany had been assessed 100 much for
the paving, the LOT owners had not
been taxed enough. He went ex-
haustively into the law governing
the subject and suggested that the
board Of appraisers who fixed the
assessment and the city attorney 20
into the matter thoroughly with a
view to some satisfactory and legal
adius .ment. Mayor f'arquharson
called attention TO the fact that after
the city had granted ihe street car
company the privilege of construct
ing its tracks on the parking at one
side ol the thoroughfare. instead Of
the center of the street, so that they
would be on higher ground, the com
pany had agreed to its assessment
The question was finally referred tc
/ he city attorney with the under
g anding that he would consult with
The board OF appraisers and a hear
/ ing would be arranged at which the
protestants would have an opporiun
iiy to appear.

ment VIII Be Adopted

Every candidate for q vacant place
on the city council and city school
board must flle notice OF this candi-
dacy with the county election board

day only few candidates had filed
and all belonged to the Republican
political brand Of faith except one,
Frank Householder. who is candl-
date for election TO the school board

ey james Hepburn has held. however,
that the ten days provision In tho
statute includes the date OF the prt
mary. March Is, SO that one more day
OF grace is allowed prospective can
ddates in which to comply with the
law.
A Dearth OF Candid dates.
Altogether tho number OF candi-
dates now Is comparatively small, be.
fore the day ends, the number will
probably be augmented by a dozen
more. but the majority will be as
plrants for places on the school board.
Little interest Is manifest IN the
city council election With the may

MINING NEWS.
Coal and Ignite Production Of Texas
Phillips Economic Geology University OF


Ignite areas are those of NJ r. Camp
bell, of the United States geological
survey. He gives $500 square miles or
known coal area and $500 square miles
in addition that may contain work
able seams. This is total or l5,oOo
square miles of known and possible
area For Ignite he gives 2OoO square
miles of known area and $4,000 square
miles in addition that may contain
workable seams This means 5o,2Oo
square miles Of known and possible
Ignite area The known coal and lig-
mite area would thus be 10000 square
miles, with IS, 500 square miles, in ad-
dition Of possible area.
Supply for 5000 Years.
Mr.. Campbell estimated that the or
iginal supply of coal in Texas was
5000. 0OO. 900 tons and of Ignite 10000
OOO. 600 tons. or a total of $1,000, 600. 900
tons of total coal and Ignite. We
have mined over 10 000 900 tons of fuel
and have enough left for 5000 years.
allowing that the production should be
100000 tons a year instead OF less
than 100000 tons.
It is fair to assume a loss OF Il tons
for each ton mined, SO that our total
fuel loss has been about 27,299,0OO tons.
There need be no apprehensions what
soever in respect of a failure Of our
fuel supply for at least 1000 years yet

duction and value of coal and Ignite
