Heat Wave Broken
By United Press

~ CHtitU fCoS
KANSAS CITY, July 3O.-Water
was worth its weight in gold
throughout the southwest today as
the great drought continued to levy
its terrific toll of livestock and
crops.
A heat wave that swept over two
thirds of the nation and claimed
upward of 900 lives had been broken
with the majority of sections again
reporting cooling breezes and light
showers.
But the heavy rains needed to
restore the soil to normal condition
and thoroughly quench the thirst of
innumerable thousands of head OF
cattle was not forthcoming.
Although the sun has ceased to
beat down with such great inten-
sity, crops still lack sufficient
moisture. Farmers still are trans
porting water. Livestock still suffer
piteously from thirst.

1T is the desire Of the city
TO finance acquisition of the

Mayor Sullivan said.
Total amount necessary to be
raised by these revenue bonds is APP

$4,000 600 would be used to redeem

81 900 900 20 pay accrued dividends

BY the terms of the 1905 fran
chise contract between the city and
the Citizens Gas Company. the city
is not entitled TO a transfer Of the
COmpanys property until the capt.
tai stock has been fully paid and
cancelled and all arrears IN divi-
dends have been paid. No divl-
dends on the S2.O0O00O of common
stock have been paid for the years
1893 and 1894 to date.
Such revenue bonds IN no respect
are TO be an obligation or indebt-

solely from the revenues Of the gas
property after it Is taken over and

Sullivan explained.
