She leaves in a few days for trip to the gulf coast and plans to resume her duties at city hall about December 1, when various measures affecting her depart ments will be taken up by the com mission.
 Foremost among the matters await ing her return is the so-called "stabili- zation" ordinance sponsored by 2S raw milk dairymen, seeking modification of the milk code. The commission, in the absence of Mrs. Echols, is evenly di- yided on this ordinance, with McLendon and Harrison opposing it and Cole and Dickson fayoring it. Mrs. Echols will vote against the measure, thus assuring its defeat by to 2 vote. The health
