The long distance telephone COM

charge Of the local pay station, that
1t is to be cut out. The company told
him that 1t intended to string some
new wires, one Of which will leave FL
Paso over the Southwestern, to Ha-
chita, and then yer the Arizona b
New Mexico to Clifton and Morenci,
and that when this line is completed
connections will again be made here.
DR.. Egon says that the collections
here amount to about 800 per month,

be a pretty prosperous company that
can throw aside 800 monthly.

SMITH DELAYS VOTE
in TARIFF IANGLE
REFUSES TO ALLOW PuBLIclTL
AMENDMENT TO BE TAKEN
UP BY GENERAL CONSENT

Washington, May 15.-When the
tariff bill came up in the senate
again today there was a wrangle
over whether it or sentor Kern's
resolution for an investigation Of the
West Virginia coal strike situation
should have the right of way Mr..
Kern finally agreed to defer his res
olution until O'Clock.
An agreement to vote on the ques-
tion of public hearings after five
hours debate was about to be made
by unanimous consent when sena-
tor William Alden Smith blocked in.
"The attitude of the other side of
the chamber" said he, ''is SO arbi-
trary in this matter that l do not feef
it calls for any generosity from this
side" Debate was then resumed on
the Penrose-LaFollette amendment to
the motion to refer the bill to the fin
ance committee. The amendment
was to instruct the committee to give
public hearings.
Many OF the democratic sena-
tors tried again today for agree
ment with the republicans for a vote
on the motion to refer the tariff bill
to the finance committee with the
PenroseLaFolette amendment d.
recting public hearings. Chairman
Simmons was anxious to have the
bill referred so that the committee
could plan definite action on the
schedules and have the bill ready for
report to the senate by June L
Nearly week has gone by without
progress in the senate.

turn for permission to use the streets
would be obliged to furnish water for
municipal purposes free. The mayor
stated the council would sign a con
tract for water FOR all purposes at
ST, $50 a year, and at no other figure
Jefferson Reynolds, who was given
lermission to address the council,
said the Aqua Pura company had al
ways dealt literally with the city
having cut down its contract rates
several times. He stated minimum
rate had been quoted under the last
existing contract. Mr. Reynolds de
clared the company, although it was
a water corporation, had no watered
stock. He called attention to the
many improvements it has made, and
said that it was not paying large divi-
dends upon its capitalization, which.
he declared, is $2O0,O0O He declared
the Aqua Pura company always con
tributes literally to every project for
the betteTment OF Las Vegas, and
asked that it be treated in fair
way by the city government.
In reply to the mayors statement
to the effect that the company has
no franchise to do business in East
Las Vegas, Mr.. Reynolds insisted that
the franchise given it by the county
before the incorporation of the city
lis still in force and has II years to
run.
Mayor Taupert stated that this
franchise, in his opinion, is not va
lid under city government, and that
the city can force the company to Sc
cure a franchise, and in remunera-
tion furnish the city water free of
charge for the right to use the
streets.
With this the matter was dropped.
1t is understood negotiations will be
continued with the Aqua Pura com
pany and an effort made to reach
some agreement.
