decision, however, was reached without
consulting the chairman OF the Census
committee. a fact which has inclined Mr..
Crumpacker 10 drastic measures.

WORK IN ASSOCIATIONS.

Notares Are Notified of New Regula.
tions for That Phase Of Opening.
Dallas News. According to definite
instructions received today from Judge
James w. Witten the competition
among notaries is to be eliminated,
along the lines suggested in another
part of this paper.
All notaries in each town must form
themselves into an association and the
receipts of operation are to be equally
divided
No notary Is eligible for business
unless commissioned before July l,
1911.
In the articles submitted by Judge
Witten provision is made for three
shifts of notaries, each working eight
hours, thus keeping the booths open at
all hours of the day and night, except
Sundays.
AS matter of fact, each local asso-
citation has the power to draft it's own
articles and the proposition for day
and night service will be resisted, both
at Dallas and Gregory. Steps have
been taken here for a meeting of the
notares to consider the various
phases of the question.
While some of the notaries are dis
posed to find fault with the idea of
cooperative association, others are
very much in favor of this plan and
believe it will result in greater net
profits than under the old competitive
system.
