The cotton crop this year in this
part of the country is not looking
very promising, but it may come out
when the weather gets warmer. We
have had great deal of cool, cloudy
weather this season up to this time,
and cotton requires warm weather
and plenty of sunshine. 1he farmers
in this part of the south are learning,
and numbers of them have already
learned, that it is not safe to stake
everything on cotton.

the citizens have to drink
"lt is not Il question of fish, but of
water with me. | would gladly give
you all of the fish In tho lake, hut
will not allow you to 30 into that lake
with your seine and contaminate the
water that is used by this city for
drinking purposes. | am public ser
want placed here by the public to look
after their interests and protect them
from intruders.
"lf all of the voters We're here to-
night and had voice in this meeting
this ordinance would be sure TO be de-
feated. The citizens are not here, how
ever. and il Is up to me as their mayor
to care for their interests.
81 am not in favor of this ordinance
and do not think it should pass. for
when it does it gives fishers authority
TO enter the City Lake with a seine and
pollute the water that you and ! and
the citizens of Ardmore have to drink.
If it is only a few fish you want. why
do you not catch them with a trammel
net or hook and line as we used to
do in the old days? II would not take
you long TO catch all of the fish you
need and this ordnance would not have

mo. gentlemen, | am against this
ordinance. not because | do not want
YOU to have the fish. but because you
will contuminate the cjtys water sup
ply when YOU enter that lake with

BY u vote OF three to one the city

ton purposes. Mayor Freeman said
he would veto the bill and Water Com.
missioner F'raley said Saturday morning
that the commissioners would pass ii
over the mayors vote.
The bill was introduced by Com!nis.
sioner F'raley. 1t provides that 1t is
lawful for any person who owns lake
or has stock in II lake to seine the City
Lake for propagation purposes. II
states further that anybody scining in
the lake must get permission of the
mayor and city commissioners, who will
regulate the time OF the seining and
the number of fish to be taken.
Among the citizens present who de-
Tended the proposed ordinance We're
Hugh A. Ledbetter, Il. \. simpson,

poses.
Mr.. Westheimer then made a short
talk in which he supported the bill and
recalled the fact that some time ago
he had allowed the city to run a pipe
line through his pasture TO the lake,
and he thought the city commissioners
should grant the privilege of seining
TO those citizens of Ardmore who own
lakes or have stock in one.
Commissioner Young then made an
address in which he stated that he did
not think it best for the ordinance to
pass Immediately, but thought that it
should be held over until the next
meeting for final approval. There were
objection to this and u lively debate be
tween the commissioners and some of
the citizens present followed,
Mayor Freeman then arose and ad
dressed the council. He said in part:
Gentlemen, | have listened to your
talks, both supporting the ordinance
and against it; and it seems to me that
all of YOU have missed the main point

made tonight you have made clear the
fact that it would not hurt the city nor
the lake to remove a few of the fish.
| agree with you on this point. 1t
would not hurt the city to give you
Il few fish, as we have an abundant sup

the few you would take. We have not
