lihe Beyett ordinance referring to
the hitching of horses at the curbs

nance committee. 'Uhe ordinance ax
presented contemplates prohibition
of hitching any horses within 25 feet
of any stores, that distance extend
ing from the store curbs to the street
railway line on the south and west
sides of the square. It is probable
that the committee will make some
changes in this ordinance as pre-
sented. and it will come up again at
the February session.
The report of Supt. Storrie of the
Waterworks and Sewer department
was read and approved. Reports nt

the signatures of 222 taxpaving vo-

It became known today that
Texas farmers and the cotton
mills of the Souh are involved in a
gigantic struggle for supremacy over
the. railroad rates and the price .of
cotton seed.
'ifce farmers are said to have dis-
covered hat a scret attempt, has
been made to abolish the present in-
terstate rate on cotton seed, which
netted them $25,000,000 last year.
The present rates are .much lower
than formerly and enable the 'Vex-
ans to concentrate their product at a
common point in Aennnessee and
hold there until the mills pay the
price demanded
‘i.e mill owners have asked the
railroads for a secret hearing to
abolish this rate and the farmers are
preparing for - ►'•’ fight.
Texas now sells its cotton seed
throughout the South for $35 per
ton where formerly it was compelled
to sell here at greatly reduced prices
