NEEDLESS Law
Will BE TAKEN
FROM ORDINANCE
COUNCIL HAS SO DECIDED
Building Law" Repealed At
Next Meeting

The ordinance generally known as
the building law" a useless, needless
and troublesome bit of city legislation,
is to be entirely repealed at the next
meeting of city council. The first
vote for repeal of this harrassing
measure was taken at Wednesdays
meeting, and under the rules, went oY
Ell until the next meeting for final ac-
ton, at which time the building law
will go on the junk pile, where It
really belongs.
This building law" with which the
council mixed up without, perhaps,
considering it's far-reaching effects,
required that when a building of anv
nature, from a dog kennel to a sky
scraper, was erected in Americus, the
owner must submit to the authorities
IOT dppTUNdl dill uSldll6 VI pldLlo, AL"
terial, etc.
These plans had to be gone over
and approved or disapproved, thus en-
failing long delay and increased cost
If citizen nailed a dozen pickets up
on his fence or patched the parental
roof with a dozen new shingles, it
was necessary to go to the city hall
for a permit costing so cents, while
Fire Chief Macarthur had to inspect
the job when completed. This cost
money and took up the chiefs time.
Council will go back to the former
ordinance requiring permits to builf
within the fire limits, while the only
inspection made by the fire chief is
that of stovepipes protruding above
TIE promenade decks of the kitchen
foundry.

Rebels Said to Hive Been Repulsed.

ElPaso, Tex, March 26 That
the rebels have been repulsed every
time they have taken the offensive
at Gomez Palacio was the assertion
made today by Miguel Diebold, in
spector of Mexican consulates. He
exhibited messages from Mexico City
as his authority. One message de-
clared the rebels had not approached
Torreon proper, but had their hands
full at Gomez Palacio, three miles
distant. He asserted the federals
were about to take the offensive.
Results Uncertain.
Washington, D. c., March 26.-The
state department had only a report
from Ell Paso that up to yesterday
afternoon that results were "unde-
termined."
Other dispatches report there was
absolutely no foundation for stories

Goahuila. Consular representatives
report all foreigners within territory
under constitutionalist control are be-
ing protected.

Manuel Choa, military governor Of
Chihuahua, haunts the military tale-

No explanation was offered by the

Washington, D. c., March 26.-The
democratic house leaders abandoned
the idea of only fifteen hours debate
on the Panama tolls exemption re-
peal today and agreed to twenty.
This would bringe a vote probably on
Saturday.
Such a provision in a special rule
brought in soon after the house as
sembled at IL a. m. today divides the
time so as to given ten hours for
those supporting the repeal, to be
controlled by Chairman Adamson, Of
the commerce committee; FIVE hou IS
for the democrats opposed, to be con-
trolled by Representative Doremus, Of
Michigan; four hours for the repuh-
licans, to be controlled by Represent
ative Knowland, of California, and
one hour for the progressives, to be
controlled by Representative Letter
ty, of Ohio.
There was a tacit understanding
that the debate on adopting the spe-
cial rule would be more limited than
had been first proposed, and proba-
bly, would be held to two hours or
less.
These arrangements cleared the
way for launching Of the actual fight
in today session. Nearly 100 speeches
have been prepared on both sides,
and the fight promises to be the most
spectacular since the democratic ad-
came into power.
