MEETING CALLED
 TO DISCUSS BONDS
Revenue Board To Consider
 County School Needs

Dr. N. R. Baker, county superin- tendant of schools, will hold confer ence with members of the board of revenue Thursday morning in regard to bond issue for county schools. A meeting with the board as' whole probably will be arranged for Friday. :,
 It was reported Wednesday that the state legislature would be asked to authorize an increase in the bonded indebtedness of Jefferson county be- yond the limit of 31a per cent of it's taxable wealth fixed by law. Members of the board would not comment on these reports, however.
 It has been pointed out that some thing must be done to take care of the need for improvement in various coun- ty institutions, as the board of revenue is now facing the necessity of author izing bond issue totaling more than $3, 900, or nearly $1.000,000 more than the maximum allowed by law.

 Narrow Escape From Gas

F.. V. Lockhart, 2l01a Twenty-second street, north, taxi driver went to sleep about noon Wednesday in the drivers bull pen at Jenkins Cab and Auto company's garage, and refused to be awakened three hours later by his comrades.
 Ridout's ambulance was called and he was carried to the Hillman hospital, where physicians worked for two hours with pulse motors and stimulants be- fore they could arouse him. Medical authorities stated they could find noth- ing wrong with Lockhart. After com ing out of his slumber he seemed as we'll as ever and was discharged.
 It is believed by his associates that gas escaping from small heater in the rest room partly asphyxiated Lock- hart as he slept. The room being we'll ventilated is their explanation of the gas not causing death.
