HEARTS were RIGHT
BUT THE Law WRONG
NO LEGAL WAY FOR CITY TO AID
THE FLOOD SUFFER-
ERS.

An inability OF city Attorney Ram
sey to find n legal way in which TO
make an appropriation, was all thai,
prevented the city commission yes
torday from propriating $500 for
the relief fund for the flood sufferers
in Ohio and Indiana. The commits
sioners and mayor showed that their
hearts were right but the law was
against them and they did not care to
make themselves ersonally liable for
the money.
G. o. Frye and Humane Agent
Wolch brought the matter before the
commissioners yesterday and asked
that they make some appropriation
The commissioners agreed to appro'
pirate $500 if the city attorney could
find some legal way in which II
could be done. Mr. Frye suggested
that the interest collected on the
sinking fund was not, fund created
by law and that the commissioners
could use part of it for this work but
Mr.. Ramsey thought otherwise and
no action was taken.

The dairy men argued snd threat
tned Ia such good effect yesterday
that they succeeded IN having the city
commissioners cut down the Mbercu-
lusis test fee on each COW from 81 ~
90 cents. The dairy men 10 the num-
ber Of half dozen argued FOR nearly
two hours yesterday ana finally
threatened the city with l. milk

The commissioners finally agreed
10 lower the fee for the first siS
months and II at the End Of that time
they found that this amount would

department, the price would No back

Judge I.ydscker appeared before
the commission In the interests Of tho
dairy men but he was strongly back
ed up by several actual dealers In
milk and cream.
The dairymen. all were In favor Of
the new ordinance which has for Its
purpose the Snaking Of more sanitary
milk but they were strongly opposed
to paying 81 per cow every six months
for an Inspection fee. This they
claimed was eXhorbitant They final
ly told the commission that rather
than pay the 81 fee they would all
ship their milk To Kansas city. They
also threatened to raise the price Of
milk In Tulsa.
The head OF local Ice cream COM
pany which handles large part OF
the milk coming TO Tulsa told the
commission that there was already a
large milk famine here, that half Of
the city could not be supplied, and
that the new ordinance would work
TO keep much OF the present milk
supply from coming here.

CITY SIGNS UP THE
new WATER contract
WILL STILL FURNISH ~ lisa COR.
PORATION AT 4 Crs. PER
THOUSAND GALLONS.

Although former mayor, W. u.
Rohde entered an emphatic protest
backed by several other citizens, the
city commission yesterday formally
signed the new water contract with
the Tulsa Corporation company.
Under this contract the city agrees 10
furnish water for 4 cents per thous-
and gallons which If below the cost of
producing II.
This contract is an outgrowth Of
the old dispute with the Corporation
company. When the city purchased
the water works system. part Of their
contract included the furnishing Of
water TO the Corporation company ~
4 cents per thousand gallons. Another
section required that the water mus
be Of certain quality and temperature
When the city sought to collect
water rent under this contract the
Corporation company filed counter
claim on account OF the poor quality
of the water, which they allegeo
greatly damaged their plant.
Several months ago, compromise
was reached whereby the city credit
ed the Corporation company with
SIPS on their water hill and agreed
on new contract eliminating the
clause in regard to the quality ano
temperature OF the water. II was thla
new contract which was signed yes
terday. Under this contract the Cor
poration company will he treated the
same as other users of water except
that they will get their water at 4
cents per thousand gallons.
Mr. Ramsey, the city attorney, con
tended that the city would be unable
to break the contract as to the price
Of the water, because the price was
included as part of the contract whep
the city bought the water plant.
Former Mayor Rohde, under whose
administration the purchase was
made, pleaded with the commission
to go to court and seek to break the
contract as the city was furnishing
water at a loss He said that he and
his administration stood convicted OF
carelessness n the matter but ne
thought that this administration with
the facts before them should take
some steps TO rectify a former mis-
take.
The city attorney said that he knew
ii was not a good contract but that
the Corpora ton had the commission
bottled up" and 1t was the best they
could do.
