By taking advantage of @ ruling of

 the Fl Paso and Southwestern rail road has granted the city Of Bisbee a special rate on building material

Henderson, chairman of the council finance committee. with Gen eral Passenger Agent Eugene Fox. sev- eral months ago, while the railroad officials were in BiSbee, and later by letter, and several days ago the chair
 man of the finance committee re- ceived a communication from MT.
 Fox stating that the special rate would be allowed the city. and that
