duces a resolution before the city
council Monday demanding that
Mayor Fawcett sign a contract to
sell surplus electric current to the
American Nitrogen Products Co,
the mayor will continue to refuse
to sign, and CITY Attorney Har-
mon will back him up.
Gronen expects to bring in the
resolution, SO the council is look
ing forward to real scrap.
When he announced Friday that
he would attempt to force the
mayor to sign the contract, Gro
men declared that City Attorney
Harmon had ruled the mayor
could be forced to sign it, whether
he considered it legal or not.
Harmon denied emphatically
Saturday that he had ever given
such an opinion.
THE mayor is right when he
says that the city cannot legally
enter into contract to sell cur
rent to a customer outside the
city limits" said Harmon. 1.-The

Relations Strained

rne Hague, April 90. - The Dutch

/ The Vaderland says an agreement
has been reached regarding one point
which has caused friction between Hol-
land and Germany but that the old dis
pute concerning the transport of sand
and gravel to Germany continues to- be
a stumbling block.
Germany desires to resume the prac-

but the Dutch government offers OBJ
lection on the ground that new circun-
stances have arisen.
[The British foreign office. according
to the London Daily News, has learned
that the relations between Holland and
Germany are very strained. Official
and diplomatic circles in London were
reported to look upon the situation with
uneasiness. Rumors were that some
thing in the nature of an ultimatum
had been delivered TO Holland by Ger
many. 1t was said that Germany looked
with disfavor on Hollands attitude on
