ASK Freedom
OF religion
This to Be One Condition
If States Recognize
Mexico
WOULD REQUIRE
CHANGES IN LAW

WASHINGTON. May 10 CUnited
Press) The American government,
in Its negotiations with Mexico over
the question of American recogni-
tion, has asked guarantees of re-
ligious freedom in that country, 1t
was learned on high authority to-
day.
The constitution of 1917 of Mex
leo provides that all church prop
erty, of whatever denomination. is
vested in the nation. In past Dego-
tiations. the State Department has
recognized the right of the Mexican
government to appropriate church
property upon satisfactory payment,
but has not recognized conhscation
without payment.
This government, however, recent
ly has sought to secure guarantees
from the Mexican Government for
religious freedom and this Is under
stood to involve the right OF churches
to own property.
It was declared on high authority
today that eventually all the cor
respondence between the United
States and Mexico over the recogni-
tion question will he made public.
Assurance was given that the cor
will show that the State
Department has followed the course
laid down in Secretary Hughes
statement OF Mexican policy last
June.
This statement was made in reply
to a list OF questions sent out today
by the Nation. a New York publica-
ton tending to support its recent
charges that the United States had
demanded drastic conditions for rec
Dgnition OF Mexico.

Sylvester Healy. contractor for the
removal of garbage, was grilled by
the board this morning for his al
legged failure to comply with the
terms Of his contract. Mr.. Healy
denied that his men are negligent
and that many of the complaints
made to the board are without
cause. He declared that he has been
put to additional expense for the
collection OF the wrapped garbage,
that more men and more carts are
required. but made It very plain
that he prefers the garbage being
wrapped.
After a discussion lasting one
hour, Mr.. Healy was requested to
submit to the Board Of Health in
writing an estimate OF the additional
expense incurred by him due to the
wrapping of garbage.
The Nye Incinerating Company
presented a bill to the Board for
S77e.2s for supplies recently fur
nished for the repair OF the local
plant.
The bill was referred to City
Solicitor Satterthw'aite for an opin-
ion as to whether or not the city Is
liable for the bill owing to an agree
ment entered into by the company |
to keep the plant in working order
for one year
Charles NJ. Murch, 1905 West |
Fifth street, complained today 10 |
the keeping by neighbors OF chick
ems. pigeons, rabbits, dogs, pigs. etc,
and asked that some action be taken
TO suppress the nuisance. The mat
ter was referred to the City Solicitor
for an opinion as to the power OF
the Board Of Health in the matter.
The Board decided that dead
bodies may be removed from GEM
eteries at any time when proper per-
mits have been secured at the office
Of the Board.

that the Thanksgiving holiday slowed up
