Evansville College, De Pauw, In
diana University and the University
of Maryland. In Chicago Mrs.
Morris edited copy for the Medical
Year Book series and for two and
a half years did editing work at the
Interior Department. .,.-:
Both her mother and aunt were
teachers, but her parents objected
to her taking up the profession.
She threw verbal bombshell into
the household by announcing that
II she couldn't be teacher then she
would be either a nurse or a news
paperwoman. The family yielded.
Mrs. Morris moved here in 1885,
when she was married. She became
q member of the Fort Davis group
when it was organized in March of
1888 Her first Office was that of
treasurer and she has served as
secretary for the past three years.
Mrs. Morris, who naturally enough
is a member of the associations S
Public Utilities Committee, is chair
man Of the Randle Highlands Com
munity Associations Utilities Com
mittee.
Helps Knitting Unit.
Besides work in the two associa-
tions, Mrs. Morris finds time to be
with q knitting unit OF the Red
Cross and regional chairman for an
OCD Consumer Committee She
has so much to do that she ad-
mitted that 1t was "a problem as to
when the house gets cleaned"
But I feel that you shouldn't
complain unless you are willing to
do something about It," she added.
Mrs. Morris was active, too, in the
fight against the use of the Kramer
School for Government office space
She said that Fort Davis was the
first Southeast association to meet
after announcement of the proposed
conversion of the building and
hence first to act. She said she
wanted to give credit to Francis j..
Burns of Randles Community for
his strenuous efforts to secure over
time work to complete the Kramer
School.
Her first public utilities battle was
the fight over elimination OF 2-cent
transfer charge between w.. M. & A.
and Capital Transit buses. 1t Is
understood that she has been
named to the Public Utility, Con-
sumner Interest and Housing and
Rent Control Committees of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and that she has been selected by
President Harry S. Wender as sec
retary of the latter committee.
Her husband, Edward B. Morris,
used to find time to attend meet
ings, she said, but overtime work
and business trips make 1t difficult
now. He is a section chief with the

Fort Davis Secretary
Leads Way in Utility Battles
Mrs. Davis Fought
Gas Rate Increase
From Beginning
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Fighting hard for what it believes
is the peoples interest in public
utility questions is the Fort Davis
Citizens Association. And right up
in the front of that fight is its
secretary, Mrs. Mabel I. Morris.
Mrs Morris and William Duvall
also of Fort Davis, were the only
two representatives of citizens as
sociations to actually testify when
the gas rate hearing before the
Public Utilities Commission was re-
opened late in the summer. 1t was
reopened to hear the views of these
spokesmen from Fort Davis and the
League of Women Shoppers.
At that hearing Mrs. Morris
charged that an increase in gas
rates would open the door" for
similar increases in other utility
rates In october she issued a
statement as spokesman for Fort
Davis in which she asserted that
the hearings were conducted in a
''high-handed manner" and that the
ma jority decision had been given
ION the basis of practically no in
VeStigation at all"
Others Followed Suit.
Mrs. Norris thereupon took an
active part in getting other associa-
tions to file petitions with the PUG
for reconsideration of Its decision
with the result that IS associations
filed with the league. Fort Davis
and 10 associations went along later
with the league, according to Mrs
Morris, in filing petition In court
against the increase.
Mrs. Morris, however, gave credit
to the League of Women Shoppers
for starting the protest campaign
Il don't think we should take
the credit" she said.

The excess land provision of the
legislation also meets with objec-
ton from municipal officials who be-
lieve that certain institutions In the
District already hold more land than
is needed Cor the purpose under
which they are granted tax immu-
nifty.
Your committee sought some es-
innate of potential tax revenue
losses resulting from the increase in
private property exemptions which
municipal officials believe will re-
suit from the legislation. No such
estimates. however, were obtained.
Conclusions Reached.
"Your committee believes that the
study initiated by the Board Of
Commissioners and carried out by
the Special Committee has
been worthwhile. Your committee
- recommends that the di-
rectors of the Board of Trade,
through its president. transmit to
the Board Of Commissioners and to
the Special Committee an
expression Of appreciation for their
very thorough and worthwhile ef-
forts.
1T appears that even the strictest
rules Of exemption. which the Dis
trict ofncials themselves do not sup
port, would return to the tax rolls
not more than $25, 900, 900 Of private
ly owned property, representing q
tax revenue Of $450,00O District Of
icials agree that Of this amount, one
half should fairly be placed again
on the tax-exempt list. thereby re-
ducing the entire tax revenue in
volved to approximately 1925 ,000
Thus while. the issue is important,
it is not Of major character when we
consider that the District now needs
. total annual income of approxi-
unately $60, ,000, 900.
