Operate Its Public Utilities,
Including Street Railway.
CITY MANAGER FIGHT
TAKES A NEW ANGLE
People Are Ready to Take
Over the Utilities Rather
Than Have Them Operated
From Nashville.

"The time has come" said Senator
Frank j. Rice, as he boarded the train
Sunday night for Nashville. Ito fight
fire with fire, and IL there is no other
way to defeat the attempt OF the cor
porations the broken pledge crowd at
the city han and the opponents OF the
city manager plan, to turn the public
utilities over to a board in Nashville,
then we are going to have municipality
owned public utilities In Memphis"
In verification Of his statement he
drew from his pocket three bills which
he announced he would introduce la the
legislature Monday afternoon.
The bills are as follows;
Cd Authorizing the city to construct
or acquire and operate u telephone sys-
tenn
(2) Authorizing the city to construct
or acquire and operate street railway
system
(S) Authorizing the city to manufae-
turo and sell gas and electricity or
either OF them,
The bin authorizing the city to own
and operate n telephone system carries
a provision authorizing bond issue
not exceeding $1,000 900. The bill al~

These bills were prepared by some OF
the best lawyers In Memphis and are
regarded as invuInerablo to tho attacks
of the corporations and the broken
pledge crowd that will fight them and
the city manager plan carrying the
same general provisions.
In explanation of tho bond issues
amounting to $4,000, 600, all Of which
will not be required, Senator Rice said
that this was not n parallel case to is-
suing bonds for streets, bridges, paving
and other things which offered no re-
turn. He said that all three concerns
should not only pay the interest on tho
bonds but they would have II sinking
fund and eventually would pay for

blood from all poisons, making the
system pure and clean SO that ma
ture can uickly restore the health.
Now that science has purified cal
omel of all its nauseating and dan
gerous qualities, the new kind OF
kalomel, called "Calotabs". is even
more popular than the old. AS a
