ments Postponed BY
Commission

Due TO recent legislation concern
ing sale or mortgage of public util-
tiles which overlapped certain pha-
ses Of the proposed new Browns
vile charter. the city commission
did not consider the charter Tues
day night.
The local regulation was TO be re-
framed SO as TO come within the
state law and the commission was
to meet again at 1880 p. m. We'd
nesday. At that time II Is expected
TO call an election on the charter
This new set of city laws has been
drawn up by a committee Of clti-
ems headed by J. T. Canales, city
attorney.
The proposed charter amendment
would not allow the sale of a city
owned public utility without a
majority vote Of the taxpayers.

1t was found that three parties
were tied for low and this was re-
ferred to the city engineer.
The Brownsville Ice company. a
large consumer Of city electricity,
asked a reduction In rates. City
Manager z. "A. Rosenthal was
authorized to offer the concern a
compromise figure. The reduction
asked was not a large cut.
The plumbing and electrical or
dinances were informally discussed.

there were numbers Of plumbers
here who were working without
proper licenses. He also stated Sey-
eral members Of the board OF exam
liners were not residents Of the city.
The question has been raised as
TO whether plumbers who are I'M
able to read and wr.te Ent.Lsh
should be allowed licenses. If they
are unable TO use the English Ian
guage. they are unable to pass the
tests Of the board. IL was stated.
"A letter from the city Of San

ability TO speak English was no bar
to plumbers in that city. Inter

pressed the opinion that inability

Several other minor matters we're
considered.
