General Gregory and that Mr.. Davis
would succeed him as Attorney Cen

Clarke ends both of these possibilities
and practically assures that Mr.. Davis
will continue throughout the remain

The proposed tax of 81 on each
$1,000 Of banks capital stock and
surplus was stricken from the revenue
bill before it passed the House. 1t
was considered double taxation as
banks are already taxed on their pro-
fits. Congressman Littlepage took an
active part in having this provision
stricken from the bin, in the interests
of the stockholders in banks, so they
would not be taxed doubly. He iniu-
enced others to vote the same way and
he proposed tax was stricken from
the bill.

DIR. KENNEDY DISCUSSES
HEALTH LAWS VIOLATED

The following letter was sent by DR..

Hon George H. Hinrichs, Mayor,

fact that garbage is being dumped

shall be maintained at or near any
city, town or settlement in this state,
and the mayor or other chief execu-
tive of any Incorporated city or town,
and the chairman of the county COM
missioners of the county in which any

vent the accumulation of refuse mat
ter or garbage in any such quantity
as to endanger the health or life of

In addition to the above rule, which
has the weight of law, the laws of

CONDITIONS THAT ARE
ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF

Two short blocks from Palafox
is the dumping grounds of the city's
garbage. 1t is only about one real
block, however. It is at the corner of
Alcaniz and Misunderstanding the
cemetery. If you want to visa the
place, you had better take a poison
gas mask along for the smell
Well, there are some things that
cannot be said in a newspaper. In
the center of the dumping ground,
rises the incinerator-its fires cold,
for the city authorities say that you
can't burn wet garbage with paper.
The paper used to burn the garbage
before the rains came, but when the
rain proved too much for the paper,
the garbage was dumped in ths open,
to reek and smell and feed flies and
spread contagion; for no one thought
of starting a wood fire-a fire hot
enough to burn anything!
Fourteen wagon loads of garbage
are being dumped here a day-about
thirty tons. And have been for the
past several weeks. The lot is deep
deep, deep with filth; little grass
and a few branches are thrown over Co
hide the mass from sight, but the
smell reeks upward, and the flies are
crusted on the surface. They buzz
angrily when they are disturbed al
their feast.
There are pools Of water-stagnant
water; repulsive looking distilla
ton. AS you walk over the place, j
has quicksandy feel.
"My horses bog up to the belly
/ said Lonnie Fillingim, who has th'
city contract for hauling the garbage
/ In another part of the field are
hundreds of tin cans. They catch th'
rain water and breed mosquitoes, an;

All around are houses, where sanl
