DEBT PROBLEMS
UP To NATIONS
In Hands of Various
Governments for
Solution
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, Jan. 9.-The principal prob
lens connected with the division Of
German reparation payments which the
finance ministers and diplomats Of the
allied and associated powers came here
to solve are today apparently in the
hands Of the various governments for
solution.
Winston Churchill. British chancel-
lor Of the exchequer, remained all the
morning at the British embassy and
has been in telephonic communication
with London. The American delegation
sent long and important cable mes
sage to Washington, while Finance Min
lister Clementel of France was in a
lengthy and serious consultation with
Premie- Herriot.
These were the obvious Developments
of the first day in which the lid was
supposed to have been nailed down
tight on the proceedings Of the financial
conference. The Interpretation of the
suddenly expressed desir for secrecy and
the fact that the principal delegations
were consulting their governments is
that the negotiations have reached the
point where decisions of moment must
be taken.

]. CANALES
ASSAILS CITY
CHARTER RULE
Declares, in Hearing on
Paving That Passage
of Amend ment on
Contract Was Outrage

Argument was resumed at the morn
ing session of the district court, before
Judge W. B. Hopkins, in the case in
which group of citizens are seeking
to enjoin the city from carrying out
paving contract with W. L. Pearson G
company.
Indications this noon were that argu-
ment would not be completed until late
this afternoon, and possibly not until
Saturday morning. At the conclusion
Of argument the district judge is ex-
pected to take the matter under advise
ment. with the time of return of de-
cision uncertain.
Judge S. Fl. Merrill of Houston, at
torney for the contractor, was in the
midst of his argument when court re-
cessed Thursday afternoon, and he re-
sumej with the opening Of court this
morning. He was followed by J. T. Ca
males, Of the special attorneys for the
city. and preceded by Judge Volney w.
Taylor of attorneys for he plaintiffs.
Judge Merrill concluded his argument
bv citing more references in support of
his contention that the contract is legal.
He declared that there is a blanket pro-
vision in the city charter of Browns
Vile for advertisement for bids, and
that no mandatory provisions of the
charter were violated.
Failure Of the commission literally to
follow the provisions of the charter is
a mere irregularity at the discretion
of the council and contract made un-
der it cannot be held illegal without
violation Of some mandatory provision
of the charter. Judge Merrill said
CanaIes Opens Argument
Mr.. Canales, in opening his talk, set
tions Of the plaintiffs counsel, includ-
ing the points that there was not
enough notice, failure to have plans and
specifications at the point designated
in the notice for bids, failure to desig-
nate amount Of paving, failure to desig
nate streets, and no proper provision
for payment
He declared that the city charter pro-
vides only that advertisement shall be
made for sealed, competitive bids, in a
newspaper published in the city, for a
period Of ten days prior to the opening
of bids.
The very man who called this con
tract damn outrage is the man who
put over much bigger damn outrage
in securing the passage of the amend
ment in the city charter which gives
the commission almost unlimited power
in letting contracts" Mr.. Canales said.
The speaker declared that the charter
amendment was passed at the time the
people were voting on raising the city
managers salary from $4,000 to $4,000,
and charged it was put over" on the
people. ~
