Of the drainage district question viii
probably be offered the legislature
during the extra session now in pro-
gress.
This move is a result OF the dis
cussion Of proposed changes in the
tentative city limits by the commits
sion Wednesday morning.
The city commission decided
against the attempted revision CT the
new boundaries to be the basis OF
the hearing OH Feb. 8, which is to
be held on lines advertised some
time ago.
Decision to make no change was
reached after it was found that in
clusion Of territory in a water dis
trict would involve so much time
and thought as to make it unlikely
that the election could be held be-
fore April 4. The matter OF annexing
some of the larger residential dis
tricts is being hurried through in
order TO have their population cred
tied TO the city III the 1880 census.
1t Is estimated that some 5000
persons will be brought into the
city by the annexation OF West
Brownsville, a part OF Los EbanoS,
Riverside, and the East Brownsville
additions, as well as several smaller
ones.

Relief Sought
Relief from the double taxation
now in force in sections OF the
city included in Drainage District

Considerable agitation has arisen
In such sections because OF a sltua-
ton under which taxpayers say tnat
