Providing every citizen of San An
tonic exercises his right of franchise,
there will be 39,013 votes cast in
the municipal election this spring.
This was disclosed Saturday when
County Tax Collector John A. Bitter
completed compilation of the poll tax
lists for the current year. the lists
have been arranged b. precincts, the
city precincts being separated from
the county precincts. Inc total vote
in The county, as disclosed by the
poll tax lists will be 10, 1853.
The total number of poll taxes paid
in the city was 35,O16. The number
OF exemptions issued was 399,, max
ing total possible voting strength

Three copNs of the poll lists have
been printed by the county collector,

No More Waste OF Money.
@Inasmuch as during the first year
of my term of office the department
was conducted in an efficient and
satisfactory manner, and new record
made in street improvement, through
the cooperation of Mr.. Harrigan and
myself, without the advice and sug-
gestions from certain men connected
with the city and outsiders who had
their own selfish interests to serve, |
have decided to go back to the method
of handling the work used during my
first year in office. Effective i'm
mediately all work will be carried on
under the direct supervision of the
city engineer, in cooperation with
myself as during my first year in
office, and the services of such en-
ployes as have been the cause of
friction, will be dispensed with.
in view of the existing condition
of street department funds, due to
divided authority among employees. it
will be impossible to do more than
barely maintain such streets as need
repair, but there will at least be
harmony in the department and there
will be no more loss of time and
money through misunderstanding.

ASKS EARLY TRIAL
Commissioner Obtains In
mediate Hearing on
Indictments.

Unless every employe or former
emplote of the street department is re-
imbursed for contributions made to
the Riedcn For Reelection Club, the
operations of that organization will
be aired at an open hearing in the
council chamber Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock. Provision for the hearing
! is contained in an ordinance intro
duced by Tax Commissioner John r.
Pfeiffer and adopted at the council
meeting last Thursday. 1t is known,
however, that if Commissioner Rieden
satisfies the demands of a number of
employees who claim to have contribut-
ed money to the campaign fund, and
not to have received it back, the mat
ter will be dropped. Commissioner
Pfeiffer has expressed himself as I'M
willing to prosecute the street COM
missioner, wishing only TO have the
money paid to those employees who
can ill afford to lose it.
The passage of the ordinance fol-
lowed several demands made upon
Commissioner Rieden by the tax COM
missioner for complete investiga-
ton and report of the Rieden For
Reelection Club.
Promise Interesting Developments.
Commissioner Rieden professed ig-
norance Of the club at first, but fin
ally admitted that it had been or
ganized and that money had been col
lected. He asserted, however. that
all those who had contributed, and
whose names were on file, had been
reimbursed. Two petitions later were
presented TO the council. however, by
employees who insisted that they had
contributed and that their money had
not been refunded. 1t has been sug-
gested by those who are behind the
movement TO secure the refunds that
records were not kept of all the con-
tributions. Sensational developments.
if the hearing is held, are promised by
these same people. ..
Four indictments, charging the
street commissioner with collecting
money for campaign expenses, were
returned by the Bexar county grand
jury several weeks ago and trial of
these cases are now pending in the
county criminal court. A fifth indict-
ment, charging him with misappli-
cation Of $500 in city funds, is pend
ing in the Thirty-seventh District
Court, trial of which has been set
down by Judge w. s. Anderson for
next Tuesday. This is the same day
as the hearing set in the council
chamber for the Rieden For Re-elec-
ton Club.
Asked an Early Trial.
Commissioner Rieden, in his motion
for an early setting of his case. al
leges that he is not guilty of the of
Tense OF misapplying or misapproprri-
ating funds of the city, az charged in
the indictment and that there is "no
evidence existing of any kind or char
actcr which even. remotely indicates
or tends to prove that he is guilty oil
the offense."
The Indictment referred to, which
is in three counts, alleges that the
street commissioner, "on or about the
ninth day Of December, 1922. in the
county Of Bexar and state Of Texas
did then and there frndulently take

time in two days, the homeless peo-
pie began surveying the storm-strlcK-
en- area. Turning from the filters of
debris Thursday night tnat marked
their hOmesites, they "swapped"
stories OF caprices of the fatal storm.
Charles Kidd, merchant, accounted
for members OF his family and was
assured that none was seriously hurt.
lie then remembered that few hours
before the storm he had put $1,000 in
currency into q small lard bucket.
Bills Found Intact.
Three hours later, the bucket was
found beneath the debris of his store.
1t had been flattened as il hit by a
giant pile driver. 1t was forced open.
The bills, intact, were found.
Van Brannon, who lost his home
and almost all his personal effects,
set about on a mission of mercy to-
day.
Three days before the storm, Bran
non had dug up 140 rare old coins
on his land.
They dated back to 1890, with the
latest coined in 1883.
'S ttieu toudy W llnu market
for his treasure in Memphis that he
might give the money back 10 storm
sufferers.
Brannon seemed TO forget he was
rendered as completely homeless and
almost as penniless as other refu-
gees.
Two Cyclones In Seven Weeks.
Plans are being made for rebuild
ing of the stricken area. The little
group at Savage. undaunted by the
devastation wrought by the second cy-
clone in seven weeks to sweep the vii
lage, carrying away newly construct
ed homes. prepared once again to re-
make their town.
Pritchard, nearby town, with
many residents homeless, cared for its
victims with less difficulty. Houses
untouched by the storm were thrown
wide open to neighboring sufferers.
Citizens organized for relief of the
unfortunate. Debris from the ruins
was cleared away and the work OF
rebuilding wrecked houses began.

our city, the common interest and
general welfare demand a change OF
administration.
Two years of incapacity, extrava-
gance and stagnation under the pres
ent regime emphasize the need Of

iously, put city finances on a business
basis, resume public improvements,
economically conduct the government
and serve all the people alike.
Say Black Regime Failed.
Entrusted with a majority control,
Mayor Blacks administration has
failed. They have violated their cam
paign promises. They have shown no
ability to grasp opportunity or trans.
act public business. This inactivity
has contributed to stagnation instead
OF progress, has kept labor out of
employment and has increased the
general depression.
As candidates the mayor and his
associates promised business admin
istration. Their first act was TO
open fractional warfare on Commits
sioners Lambert and Wright by de-
prlving them of much of their budget
money and many of their functions
OF office. The mayors control was
sufflclent for strong arm politics.
but he appears not to have known
now. to employ it for useful public
service.
Forgot Campaign Pledges.
Promising to equalize assessments
and reduce taxes, they have assessed
property In an uneven and arbitrary
manner and have increased the tax
burdens of the people. This betrayal
Of the people was felt the keener
because of declining rentals and the
high cost Of living.
