BILDERBACK
AGAIN ANXIOUS
Says he VIII Renew Request
for Decision In Strip Ticket
Case

Councilman George L. Bilderback
says he will renew before City Coun-
ellis committees on Wednesday night
and probably in open Council on
Thursday night his motion to ask
Federal Judge Bradford when a de-
cision on the strip ticket question
may be expected.
II is known that Judge Bradford
has been giving as much time as his
duties permit 10 considering the Ques-
tions involved in the strip ticket case,
in order that he may frame his deci-
sion. Many important legal points
we're raised by City Solicitor Daniel
o. Hastings, on one side, and Herbert
II. Ward and John r Neary on the
other side, during argument of the
case.
Some Of the points have never been
possed upon, so far as a search Of
the law reports show, and Judge
Bradford's decision will establish
some new and imuortant rulings in
corporation law.
