The city limits on the outh are at Hoyt street, and there is a considerable area south of that street settled thickly enough to warrant Inclusion, and the residents Tiew the proposal farorably In view ot'the need for police and fire protection, sewers and other conveniences which are to be bad only by Inclusion within the city's boundaries. No Referendum Tet But as the time draws nearer at which a special state election will have to be called, if at all. the indication ; are strengthened that there will s be none. A special eleetion 'could be called this year for only two possible reasons: ref erendum of the excise tax. or sm ilar action on the intangibles tax. botfi enacted at Ine last legisla tive session. - PrnTiston was made by the leg' ielatursTor a-special election June 9. in. case the referendum was inflhi . aeainst cither of these laws. Petitions would have to be completed by Jnne 3. That is more than two months away, but in view of the fact that no steps have been taken to refer these measures and such action bas scarcely oeen suggested anywhere in 'the state.

For several hours Saturday the association of retail gasoline deal ers was in secret session with the result that a "stand-pat attitude' was unanimously agreed upon by all the service stations in the city with the exception of five dealers who handle the Texaco products. All gasoline this morning was-to be sold at 25 cents by the associa tion lineup while Texaco, late Sat. urday night, was still being retail ed at 22 cents.

The plan suggested was to concentrate selling activities on one or more dealers who would cut below the Texaco price with the loss being absorbed by the as. sbciaUon. It was agreed -by the association that such a measure wouia oniy ne taxen in case tne price-cutting war continued and Texaco made no move to come up I Irom the 22 cent level.
