under the terms Of the measure. This
Dill has had an interesting history.
Originally it provided for several COM
mlssioners and an appropriation of
100000; then $4,000 to put in into
effect. At one stage of the several
years fight for the measure the COM
missioners' salary was fixed at 5000.
AS passed this year the bill provides
for a salary Of $4,000 and an appro-
priation Of $4,000 to put the bill in
effect. The general assembly passed
a State warehouse bill two years ago
and it was declared unconstitutional.
Last year the bill died in the house,
by not being finally considered after
having passed the senate.

In case the senate refuses to agree
to the amendments made by the house
to the bill, the measure will have to
go into the hands of a committee Of
free conference. When this body re-
ports to the two houses there may be
further delay in the adoption Of the
report on the bill.
opponents of the bond issue bill
did not believe last night that it
would ever be enacted into law. With
the election on November 3 at which
it is proposed to submit the matter
of issuing $24,OOO,OOO to the voters
only five days removed, every hour
is needed for making the necessary
arrangements for polling on the bond
issue.
1t might have been possible last
night to have gotten the cotton bond
issue bill back to the senate for ac-
ton there had not the upper house
adjourned until today about an hour
before the time set for the vote on
the bill in the house.
One Of the points now being urged
against the bond issue proposal is that
the electors have not had sufficient
time in which to familiarize them
selves with the bill and that it is now
too late to advertise it properly.
The, indications were last night that
the bond issue measure would be
strongly opposed in the senate, where
sentiment is said to have been grow
ing against it.

BRICK WALL CAUSES
HOTEL MAN TO QUIT

A foot Of brick wall caused FL Paso's
pioneer hotel man to retire from bust
ness. John Fisher has been in the
hotel business here since the Galveston
flood He first managed the old Pear
son. then the Sheldon and has been at
the head Of the hotel Fisher for the
past three years.
When the AIhambra Theater COM
pany was building adjoining the Fisher
hotel II was discovered that the theater
property carried with It a half interest
in the south wall Of the hotel. An
effort was made to purchase this half
interest and have the open space be-
tween the new theater and the hotel
as a court to furnish light and air TO
the hotel rooms This effort failed and
when IL became known that a lower
insurance rate could be obtained for
the theater by closing the windows on
that side Of the hotel. brick were laid
in the window openings to a depth OF
one foot. but enough to cut off all
light and air from the hotel rooms
When Fisher failed to make an ar
rangement with the owner Of the ad-
joining property for keeping these win
dows open. he offered TO dispose of his
hotel TO George Look, who owns the
building. The offer was accepted and Mr..
Fisher retired from his lifelong business.
