CITIZENS OF CORPUS
PATIENTLY WAITING
FOR NATURAL GAS
Injunction Has Tied Up
Concerns Efforts to
Supply Fuel.

Corpus Christi, Tex. March TO-
A petition presented by attorneys for
the Corpus Christi Gas Company,
seeking to have transferred TO federal
court hearings to decide whether or
not a temporary injunction restrain
ing the gas company from laying
mains within the city limits of Cor
pus Christi was overruled by the dis
trlct court yesterday. A temporary
injunction was granted by Judge w.
B. Hopkins March 3.
The gas company at that time had
large force of men digging bitches
near the edge Of the city limits, in
tending to lay gas lines through which
natural gas would be brought into the
city. Preceding the granting of the
injunction by district court the chief
of the city police told the gas COM
pany TO stop digging the bitches I'M
der penalty of arrest.
The injunction was granted the fol-
lowing day, two days before the citi.
zens of Corpus Christi voted to au-
thorize the city commissioners to is
sue S3j0.000 in bonds to install a
municipality owned gas plant and dis
tributing system. The election carried
by a big majority.
The city is laying pipe now and
it is probable that the .arger indus
trial users will be burning natural
fuel within a few days. This gas
Will be from the well this side of
.'ueces bay, while that being brought
IN By the gas company is from the
White Point field on the other side
OF the bay. The gas company's pipe
line crosses about three miles of wa
ter. 1t is said here that the pipe is
OF poor quality, being composed prin.
cipally Of drill stem.
In the meantime the city engineer
is going ahead with plans of the city's
gas system. Now that the district
court has denied the gas company's
| petition TO 20 TO federal court, the
nearing 10 make the injunction per
manent will be called for the district
court here. IL the case is decided
against the city the gas company
promises TO have natural gas in il.
mains within seven days time. The
announced price will be GO cents pei
l0OO cubic feet. while that Of the city
will be 30 cents.
In the interim the consumers oi
corpus Christi will continue 10 hope
for natural gas.

SUGAR In PASTEBOARD
BOXES is SATISFYING
HEALTH AUTHORITIES
They Say Flies, Mice and
Dirt Sometimes Get
Into Barrels.

The pasteboard box as a container OF
sugar is completely satisfying to house
keepers, as we'll as health authorities,
local grocers report. 1t prevents the
accumulation of dust and is an abso-
Lutte prevention against pests such as
flies, mice, etc. New ways of shipping
and packing sugar have been greatly
improved as compared with methods by
which it was packed several years ago.
One way in which sugar had to be
Ripped in the middle ages, to comply
with maritime regulations, was in large
| loaves, sewed into palm hats. Large
cubes also were packed into barrels
and chests.
Refiners and growers Of sugar have
given close attention to the subject
/ OF containers, although in modern
times the retail grocer, the physician:
and the housekeeper all have added
their votes to those cast by the admir-
atty courts.
On account of the fly, the mouse. the
dust in the air, the dirt that collects
| in cracks. crevices and seams, the &C.
culated dust and dirt on paper bags,
etc, it has been necessary to perfect
sugar container.
The result is that the one container
for sugar with which most housekeepers
now ARE completely satisfied is the
pasteboard box in which the best sugar
comes from the grocery store. Insects
and rodents, they found, polluted sugar
that was kept in barrels. The dust
got into it, too. -
1t was impossible to get metal con-
tainers to hold sugar in the kitchen
that were without seams and cracks IN
which dirt accumulated, and which could
lev be got quite clean. Wooden con
tanners soaked up moisture and dirt
with it.
II the dirt that might be taken for
granted when sugar came in paper
bags was ignored there was always, 1t
seemed, a trail of sugar leading to some
broken corner, or over the edge OF the
Ibag.
The box of sugar, on the other hand,
holds its contents neatly, and never
needs to be cleaned, because once 1t
is empty a brand new box is waiting
with the next consignment of the sweet
food

WORKERS UNCOVER R R|CH VE IN OF COhL
Found Near Jasper While Cut ting Through Hill For
 State Highway
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD
Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 2

<Aldt DeC
 Discovery of a four-foot vein of coal along the right of way of a road under construction in Walker county was reported Friday to the state highway department. The vein, 1t Is said, was uncovered by workmen wbo were cutting through a hil in grading the new highway from Jas per to the Marion county line.
 This information was telephoned into the state highway department by J. H. Mayer, division engineer at Birmingham, who stated that both the road contractor and the owners of the property through which the right of way runs were claiming the coal so found.
 The property owners, however, are reported to be willing, if the coal after excavation is turned over to them, to fill in the excavation with dirt. The problem as to the rights in the coal was passed on to the legal department of the state for solution.
