Lower Electric
Rates Sought

In an effort to obtain a reduc-
ton in electric light rates, the
City of Nogales and business men
are cutting down on current.
For the past several nights, to
emphasize their campaign for low
er rates, business houses darkened
their show windows and the city
extinguished half of the street
lights.
The curtailment will remain in
effect, it is said, until rates are re-
duced. Recently the Citizens Util-
tiles Company voluntarily reduced
rates, but the reduction was not
enough, city officials maintain.
Relative to the action taken this
week, C. H. McNulty, manager OF
the power company said:
I'm view of the reduction recent
Iy given, which was just one OF a
series of reductions during the past
several years, I am surprised at the
crrtailment of service by the busi-
ness men. The action, believe was
unjustified, particularly when no
complaint has been registered with
the company by the business men, y
said McNulty.
1.-The company is still awaiting
the report of a committee of the
city council. This report has been
promised for some time but as get

the Nogales boys now attending the

drove c. H. McNulty's car.
1t is a trip worth anybody'S time
and one on which you see scenery

that just few miles away was the

German Jewish
Refugee Scheme
Said Complicated
Migration Loan Is Sug'

Time and Study

LONDON, Dec. 18. (UP)-Dr.
Hjalmar Schacht, GerMany's eco
nomic wizard, last night outlined
Nazi program for the emigra-
ton of the Reich's 100000 Jews
to George Rublee, American di-
rector of the inter-governmental
committee on refugees, in a Sc
cret meeting at the British treas
ury.
Although Schacht's aides had
insisted upon no publicity to the
proposal, it was learned reliably
that the president of the Reichs-
bank put forward the possibility
of an international loan for the
migration of Germany's unwant-
ed Jews and their resettlement in
homes abroad.
The wealth left behind in Ger
many by the migrating Jews, de-
posted with a government trus-
tee, would serve as security for
the loan.
Schacht also was understood to
have broached a plan whereby
the Jews would surrender their
wealth in exchange for "trade
coupons" to be sold by them
abroad for the limited purpose Of
purchasing German goods, there
by increasing German exports by
millions of dollars.
Schacht's proposals were un-
derstood to have been 80 connpii-
