FINAL REVISION SET FOR SATURDAY
City Commissioners Will Again
Tackle Gage Park Line.
To Sue on Bond, Bring Manda-
mus or Go Out Tenth.

The Gage park carline matter is like
ly to be threshed out at a special meet
ing of the city commissioners to be
held next Saturday morning at
O'Clock. The commission adjourned
this morning without mentioning the
park line, the adjournment being until
Saturday morning. At that time the
matter is expected to be taken up and
some action taken.
1t is believed at the city hall that
the series of secret meetings of the
city commissioners in comforting over
the proposed park line is at an end.
No official action can be taken by the
body at a secret meeting. Whatever
action is taken. must be taken in an
open meeting where the general pub
lie may be admitted If it cares to be
on hand. So Saturday morning may
see a full-fiedged fight in the open.
the first since the park matter has
been brewing.
1t is believed quite certain that some
of the commissioners will not agree to
terms offered by the others Commits
sioner w. L. Porter is for line to
Gage park, no matter what route is
taken, and is believed pretty apt to
oppose what he considers an unreason-
able demand. He would rather see the
line built than to collect the bond out
standing, and promises to make fight
for the line.
vi the OIH6T manu- ln0To are Two Dldl-
ters standing. The city may sue on the
bond. or may bring mandamus ac-
ton in the supreme court against the
railway company asking that 1t be COM
PEELED to carry out it's contract to make
all the extensions promised three years
ago. Either action, it is asserted, will
mean almost endless litigation and
VIII be expensive to the city. The rail-
way company will fight either move.
The compromise is a line to the park
on West Tenth street, which is being
bitterly opposed by some of the city
commissioners and property owners on
Eighth street west of Clay street. Nat
urally the property owners having pri-
Vate interests along the original pro-
posed line and anxious to see them
selves benefited by the line, are fighting
against any proposal that will place the
line two blocks away from them. At
least some of them are fighting the
West Tenth proposal. Some of them
are not taking any chips in the game.
If the city decides to bring a manda-
mus suit it is likely that D. r. Hite
will be retained by the city special
counsel in the case. The proposal to
employ Hite also may come up Sat
urday in the event that the commits
sion decides to bring the suit
Most of the commissioners this morn
ing were loathe to talk about any plan
for the future. City Attorney w. c.
Ralston was equally reluctant.
Il haven't anything to say" he de-
clared. Several things have been
checked up to me, but 1 can't talk just
now.
Il don't know when a report on the
ordinance proposed by Mr.. Patten will
be made. The finance commissioner,
to whom also was referred the ordi-
nance, has not conferred with me-
Ralston is investigating the feasibili-
a a CT
railway company, but refuses to dis
cuSs the matter. 1t is believed some
definite action may be taken at Sat-
urdays meeting.

the widow outwits him and obtains
his consent in an amusing way. The

one-"Her Royal Highness.'' is a pic

Steel implicated two more boys Har-
vey and Bonnie Mcdonald, 1881 Han

made by F. NJ. Collins. a Santa Fe
baggageman, who saw Roosevelt
Sneed riding his bicycle. Sneed when

had bought the wheel from the Steel
boy. Cecil Henry identified parts of
his bicycle, which was stolen Friday.

Hadn't you better look into it. just
