in a class generally assigned to

day morning Recorder Gregory
was notified that if he did not
depart from his usual fair-mind
ed policy of dividing up the city
printing between the two papers
the matter would be taken out
of his hands. He informed
them that he prefered they
would do so. Monday night a

to give out the city printing, and
the coterie at last has the city

Of course the council had no
right to go behind the charter
and take the matter out of the
recorder’s hands,
something
never before attempted in the
history of Dallas, neither had
they the right to name a com

to be aware of.

Davis & Horn
When the question was raised
as to the legality of the election
to determine whether or not the
city should issue bonds to build
the septic tanks, City Recorder
Charles Gregory submitted the
matter to Attorney General A.
M. Crawford, together with
copies of all the proceedings,
ballots, etc. This morning he
received a letter from Mr. Craw
ford stating that as far as he
could determine from the con
struction of the city charter and
the state laws, the stating of
the amount of the bond issue
intended was not a vital neces
sity to the legality of the same.
This apparently settles the mat
ter and the city doubtless will
now proceed to float the bonds,
buy a site and build the tanks.
