Blackout Rules Asked
Blackout legislation providing
penalties for violations of black
outs was asked by Councilman Ira
Bame, who contended that there
were no laws dealing with actual
blackout violations.
Councilman George Bryce
brought up the condition of city
streets and asked what was being
done to remedy their condition re-
sulting from the freeze and thaw
which have in many sections of the
city blown up large sections of
pavement and made driving ex-
tremely hazardous.
City Manager Schoonmaker ex-
planned there was definite short
age of labor but that work was
being undertaken as rapidly as
possible to repair the damage.
Echo From the Past
A communication was received
from R. A. Yoakam, who works
for the Gulf Refining Co., saying
that he favored a one per cent pay
roll deduction to maintain the
high standard of city government" "
The letter was placed on file.
Council last week passed up the
proposed l per cent payroll tax
when it became evident it was
political dynamite.
After considerable discussion, the
rental of the Civic Auditorium on
a lease renewed by Thacher, broth
er of Councilman Ad Thacher, was
held at $50, the same as it has been
heretofore.
Thacher Answers Bryce
A lively discussion between
Councilmen Bryce and Thacher
grew out of the rental price with
Bryce asking Thacher, "How much
are the promoters sandbagged by
the politicians ?" To which Thacher
replied, How long since you at
tended one of the wrestling
shows?" Bryce took the bait, and
said, "It's been years since quit
going to the shows" Then Thacher
took him with, "Well, you ought
to start going again so you'll know
what's going on"
An audience of seven spectators
endured the Commute session.

"The trouble was they would
