CITY COUNCIL
MEETS TUESDAY
Group Discusses
Cos Franchise of
Local Company

Members of the city council
discussed the natural gas Short
age at their regular meeting held
Tuesday night at the city hall.
The council and city attorney
D. L. Egnew examined the min
utes of the council meeting that
dealt with granting the fran
chise for supplying natural gas
the users in the city. It was
brought out that the franchise
does not especially obligate the
city of Hardin in forcing the gas
company to provide gas for gen.
eral use.
The council said that is up to
the citizens of the city, if they
have a complaint in not getting
enough natural gas, to take up
the matter with the Railroad
Commission, which is also
known as the Public Utilities
Commission.
Regular first of the month
business was transacted by the
council.
The water committee was dir
ected to proceed with the plans
for building the dwelling at the
river pumping station, and the
council was of the opinion that
it could be constructed with the
help of local employees at a
great savings.
Robert Young, water commits
sioner, was directed to arrange
for the purchase of a second
hand compressed air drill to be
used for breaking up the pave
ment in case of water main
breaks.

LETTER FROM SGT. HARRY KNODEL
DESCRIBES SICIEAN CUSTOMS

The Tribune Herald this week
received a letter dated August
81 from Sgt. Harry Knodel,
somewhere in Sicily.
The letter reads as follows:
Here is a letter to let you
know that I am still alive and
though I've travelled through a
lot of countries, I haven't for
gotten the, good old home town
paper. Here are a few notes
of what we have been doing re-
Gently.
Sicily - where we landed
looked very much like Africa. We
saw the same hills and there
were very few trees. The streams
were dry and the landscape
looked tired. The streets in the
towns were built to allow the
passage of two underfed mules
not two and a half ton trucks.
And in all Of these Sicilian
towns there is the inevitable
laundry line strung from bal
cony to balcony. Instead Of
throwing the dishwater, etc.,
down the drain (there Is no
drain) they toss it in the street

A Justice Department official be-
lieves that international cartels and
concentrated industrial control have
hampered production of tin, copper
and aluminium needed for the war
effort.
David Podell, chief of the Small
Business Section of the Antitrust
Division, told a Senate Small Busi-
ness Subcommittee yesterday that
under cartel control, exercised by
the International Tin Committee,
new agreements reached last year
allocated substantial production in
creases to areas now occupied by
Japan, while only a few tons in
crease went to Bolivia, chief source
OF United States supply.
Far East Output Boosted.
Through agreements, Mr.. Podell
testified, the Maylayan production
allotment increased from 77,OOO to
95,010 tons and that for the Neither
lands East Indies from $4,000 to
$1,000.
Bolivia's allotment, he said, went
from 46,027 20 46.768 tons.
Despite this situation. Mr.. Poden
said, I'VE are in a better position for
the short run than is generally
publicly believed" though civilians
would be on short ration.
Mr.. Podell said the present was an
ideal time to encourage development
OF small copper industries for the
sake of competition. Three COM
panies that produced about Is per
cent of the copper supply Is years
ago, he said, today came much
nearer to IS per cent of the total
