1t ought not to be necessary to pursue this sorrOwu

If operations in Mexico on the border or anywhere
else should require the calling out of the whole

100000 to the available forces and the country would
be squarely up against the problem Of Immediately

FEDERAL CENSUS AIDS Ell
PASO TO SELL HER BONDS

One of the direct results of the recent
federal census has been to enable FL
Paso to sell its bonds to savings banks
IN New York state.
The Daily Bond Buyer, in the issue Of
May 3, contains a special article on FL
Paso and the census. and quotes in full
the opinion OF attorney general Wood
bury, of New York, on the eligi-
bility of FL Paso bonds as investments
for savings banks in that state.
The article says in part: 1T seems
that the city of FL PasO. Texas had. by
the decennial federal census Of 1910.
population of 39.2T9. and by a special
federal census of the city taken as
Of January Is. 1915 a population OF
61,S9S. Tested by the census Of 1910
the bends of that city would not be le
gal investments. but If the special cen
sus figures of 1916 may be used the
bonds have become legal inves tment."
The law Of New York requires that
city must have a population OF $4,000
before its bonds are eligible for in
vestment by New York savings banks.

limits. This is indicated in press dis
patches from Ballinger where the
opinion Of the attorney generals de

The dispatch was as follows:
According to a ruling just made by
the attorney generals department at
Austin, the county commissioners not
only can use funds raised by county
road tax to improve streets in incOr-
porated towns. but it is their duty to
do so. Runnells county recently voted
