me as a representative of the commit

to give out any such interview in the
future. But did not promise the COM

that l have no control. Neither will I
have any control over the newspapers

GARDNER ORDERED
TO DRAFT A BILL
Giving Cities Right to Pur-
chase Public Service
Corporations.

Mayor Zimmerman this morniLs in
structed City Attorney Gardner to
draft bill to be presented at the
next session of the state legislature.
which will give cities method to con-
tract for the purchase of public SER
vice corporations. The exact nature OF
the bill has no: been decided upon. as
the city attorney says he will be
obliged to study the question very
carefully before he can express him
self.
Attorney Gardner declared that it
would be impossible to get IA bill
through the Legislature. according to
the mayors plan, inasmuch as the
constitution limits the amount of a
city's Indebtedness, and prohibits a
city from going beyond its bonded in
debtedness. He said. however. that a
movement might be started which
would eventually give cities the pow
er to go beyond their bonded indebt-
edness in acquiring control of public
service corporations.
Mayor Zimmerman asserted that a
municipality should have control Of
water, gas and light companies. be-
cause they are public necessities.
In speaking of this matter the may
or also referred to the traction COM
pany, and declared that he had allow
ed two years to pass by without re-
sorting to drastic actions in forcing
the company to remove the freight
car tracks in Glen Miller park. but
that he would soon have the tracks out
of the park.
"l'll just give the traction company
six months in which to remove the
tracks and if the company does not
do so by then, We will force them to. "
was his statement. THE city ator-
ney and the board of works will take
the matter up after the period of grace
and the tracks will come out"
