at This Time.

serVatiOn efforts by opening at 10 a.
m. and closing al y. m. by Eequest
OF Mayor Herbert J. Corwine, it was
announced today.
The new city or,.'lance contained
no regulations concerning banks. The
Fequest came from the mayor so that
the banks might have an opportunity
TO give their aid in conserving. 1t is
not probable, however, the request Will
be made a part Of the ordinance.
Mayor Corw.ne stated.
At the same time Mayor Corwino
announced other new features that will
be first put in the form of a request
public gatherings considered unessen-
tial will be asked to discontinue during
the emergency. Many meetings are
held each week. Mayor Corwine says,

building. Coal is unnecessarily con-
su ned in the effort to bring the build

Considers SchccI C;osing.
- Mayor Corwine intimated that he
may request city schools TO continue
TO operate with what coal they have
on hand. When the prascn5 supply is
exhausted the schools should shut
down until the emergency has passed.
Either this should be done or the
schools closed entirely and their coal
confiscated, in case it was impossible
10 get fuel for the city light plant, it
was said. 1t is considered more essen
tfal to the life and safety of the cit
izens of Topeka that the city should
not be plunged into utter darkness, the
mayor says. 1t is also more important
that the students homes should be
protected with fuel rather than tf al
their education should continue thru
the few weeks the emergency may last.
School discontinued now could be
made up at the end of the term.
Il am considerably Gratified over
the manner in which the citizens of
Topeka have taken to the new ordi-
nance" the mayor stated. "It is much
better than we believed it would be.
There has been certain amount of
minor complaint but that is always to
be expected. In order to successfully
come thru the present emergency it
IS necessary to have the complete CO.
operation of every one in Topeka and 1

Il is not believed there will be any
disposition to shut up theaters. drug

Cral reasons, it was declared. The

the night. The plant is not shut
