MAY ASK DECISION
ON DEPOSIT" RULE
City Officials Contemplate
Carrying Matter to Utili-
ties Commission.
-Pino SaureZ, General

There are no new developments in
the natural gas deposit rule situa-
ton" said City Attorney Bond today.
Asked what the next move on the
part OF the city government would be
in its fight against this rule, which
has aroused so much opposition among
non-property owning patrons of the
Light, Heat and Pawer company, he
said that 1t was quite probable the
question would be carried before the
state public utilities commission for
a definite ruling
No petition for such action has been
filed with the board Of public works up
to noon today. Notwithstanding the
fact that it had been reported such &C
ton was contemplated by a number of
dissatisfied citizens.
Complain to Bescher.
Many complaints have come into
my office said City Clerk Bescher to-
day, and there seems to be a general
demand that if the company is to have
a deposit or guarantee rule that no
exceptions be made OF the patrons of
the company: that the deposit rule be
made applicable to both property own
ing and non-property owning citi-
Zens.'
Clerk Bescher said the rule as in
terpreted by the gas company would
never be acceptable to the city Off
cials, but that they had no authority to
compel the company TO reverse il.
Bescher is also very optimistic over
the prospect of the state commission
requiring the gas company to be less
drastic in its Enforcement of the rule.
Many Sign Contracts.
At the offices of the Light, Heat &
Power company this morning it was
stated that people were still signing
their contracts under the deposit and
guarantee rule and that the company
anticipated that practically all of its
artificial gas patrons would sign up
for natural gas service under existing
requirements
Complaints against the new gas ser.
vice still continue 10 pour into the
office. but none of them are of a Sc,
rious nature, officials, of the company
state. being Consned principally TO
trouble with the adjustment Of burn
ers.

NO NEW POLICY NOW.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Later de-
velopments in Mexico require no
change in the policy of President Will
son. officials said today. They declared
Hureta's fall is certain. All received
with satisfaction the Endorsement OF
the Monroe Doctrine given by Viscount
Haldane, lord high chancellor of Great
Britain, at the Thanksgiving Day
dinner of the American society in Lon
don. This speech is interpreted as a
full approval of President Wilson's at
titude in the Mexican situation.
Further evidence Of this was given
by Sidney Brooks, the English ecOno-
mist, who called at the White house
There never has been any real
clash of interests between the United
States and Great Britain over Mexi-
CO." said Mr.. Brooks. Indeed there
never has been any question but that
