That the suggestion of the COM

the underlying feature of the city ex-

nance and terms of the gas company
are going to slam the little fellow
harder than ever instead of decreas-
ing his bill.
When the company gets through
soaking the small consumer he will
be paying about the same price for

The city experts told the council
gas committee, today that the gas
company is trying to make the peo-
pie pay interest On the watered stock

amounts to about, $35,00O,OO0. The
return asked by the gas company on
this amount makes about 81, 100, 900.

NJ a. isl, Why the designation Of
= The Island" for that piece Of
land behind the FL Paso foundry on the
American side Of the Rio Grande that
belongs 70 Mexico-how came it to be
there, etc. Here is the explanation:
Up TO about Il years ago the Rio
Grande made a big horseshoe bend.
starting along about South Florence
street, and running back close to the
foundry, where the monuments now
mark the international boundary; then
il turned south again and struck the
present bed Of the stream below Wash
fugton park AS a result OF this bend
the water could not flow fast enough
during rises in the river and the lower
part OF FL Paso was constantly flooded.
some OF Juarsz also suffered In 1897
The water came up nearly 10 the court
house in FL PasO.
The officials Of the two governments
arranged TO straighten the channel of
the river. without prejudice 10 the
boundary. so they cut a new channel
from Florence street TO the park and
turned the main channel into the cut,
thus eliminating the horseshoe. This
gave fall sufficient to scour out the
river bed and carry all the water off.
but left Mexican territory on the
american side of the river. There has
occasionally been water in the bending
channel since but IL is generally dry.
By treaty the old river bed OF channel
IS still the boundary
