JIMMY LONELY
FOR s. A.
HOME
"Crass Girl" Nears End Of
Successful Fight With
Malady
By BESS CARROLL

The famous Texas grin" of little
Jimmie English may soon be smiling
at her friends in San Antonio.
For the first time since her de-
parture for an operation that might
and might not-restore her to health,
complete recovery from seriously abb
ccssed lung seems near for Jimmie.
Jimmie is San Antonio's grass girl
the child for whom hundreds of San
Antonians gave The Light their nick
els and dimes and dollars-that she
might have a chance TO live.
Definite news of the little invalid
condition has been received from Mrs.
Martha Robertson. matron of the
Robert B. Green Hospital, who Wis
tied Jimmie a few days ago in st.
Louis.
LOOKS SPLENDID.
Jimmie looks splendid Mrs. Rob-
erson writes. Il never saw her look
as well. She has grown remarkably
in these past eight months. Her lips
are red and her eyes are bright and
pretty.
During those dark days when life
held little hope for Jimmie English,
Mrs. Roberson-who had Jimmie in
her care at the Robert B. Green Hos
pital-was one of those who dared to
hope that some miracle would let the
cheerful, patient little invalid live.
In her letter to professional friend
in San Antonio .1rs. Robertson de,

that she was in town for an cxamina-
ton. She had no idea that / was

said, oh" and hid her face against
me and started crying :"

COUNSEL HALTS
PROPOSAL FOR
CITY COLISEUM
Says Half of Cost Must Be
Borne by Some As
ISOLATION.

The municipal coliseum project
was halted today with the opinion OF
James M. Ogden, corporation coun-
sci, that the city has no legal power
to defray entire costs OF the site and
building.
Only law under which the city's
money may be expended, according
to Ogden, is one that authorizes the
municipality to assume 80 per cent
of the costs. If the remainder In
borne by an association or club.
Pending further investigation,
Mayor Shank tooay requested
Charles l.. Hartman, chairman ap-
pointed to investigate the site at
Washington, Davidson, Pine and
Market SITS. to delay appointing a
committee.
There's no use to go to the ex-
pense Of issuing bonds II we have
no power to spend the city's money. ="
Mayor Shank declared. He ex-
pressed the hope that the law, which
was first taken into consideration
by William Bosom, city attorney,
applied only to cases OF joint con-
struation by both city and business
mon.
However, Ogden's opinion is that
the city is authorized to construct
the ediflce only. through the law
that reduces its liability to 80 per
cent. He indicated he would ask To-
cal contributions, If the city is
deemed legally incompetent to shout
der the entire burden.
