Cities Service
Nose Out Hiway
Friday evening, August 11,
the local softball diamond was
the scene of a battle between
the Cities Service and Highway
Department teams, and a battle
it was, all the way to the last
inning when Cities Service fin-
ally nosed out the Highway
boys. The Highway boys got off
to a good start, bringing in 10
runs in the first inning, but
they failed to score from here.
Rohan’s boys didn’t get started
until the third inning when they
scored three runs, and they
didn’t score again until the sixth
inning when they counted six
more runs. By this time fans
were really sweating out the
game, wondering if Cities Ser-
vice could still win the game —
Yes, you guessed it — they
made two more runs in the sev-
enth inning which won the ball
game with a score of 11-10. It
was really an interesting game
all the way to the end.
R. Janak pitched a good game
for the Highway boys, allowing
only four hits and two walks.
F. Suhr allowed 11 hits and two
walks to the Highway boys.
Quite a few errors were made
by both teams, accounting for
many runs.

Gas Company officials state
that since present rates took
effect in 1937 wages and labor
have gone up as high as 131%
pipes and meters are up more
than 50%, and general taxes
have gone up on an average of
28%.
Comparison of present and
proposed rates shows the con-
sumer what the rate increase
would mean to him. Under the
present rate system, gas used
is billed only in the thousands
of cubic feet. The proposed rates
would bill the consumer by the
hundreds of feet, which prac-
tice would mean a saving to the
user of small amounts of gas,
or from 100 to 500 cu. ft. Cost
of amounts up through 300 cu.
ft. will run $1.00.
■ Under the presept rates, a
consumer of 500 feet pays the
minimum of $1.25, which applies
to 1000 feet, also. Under the
proposed rates, 500 cu. ft. would
cost $1.16. A meter reading of
1000 cu. ft. will rise to $1.56.
For 2000 cu. ft. customer now
pays $2.00, but under the pro-
posed system will pay $2.36.

The Yoakum Concert Associa-
tion has outlined the benefits of
the municipal concert plan to
include four principal items. It
is pointed out that world-dis-
tinguished artists are presented
at approximately one-third the
price that would be paid to hear
them in a city.
The second benefit is musical
and cultural enrichment for
young people as well as adults.
Mental and physical relaxation
is a third product. The fourth
merit is the possibility of social
occasions when home parties are
given in connection with the
concert programs.

of the rate increase asked by

Company has been called for
Friday night at 7:30.
The request of the rate in-

previous meetings and will be
heard for the last time Friday
night. All interested persons
may attend the meeting.
Because its operations for the
past five years have resulted in
an annual average loss of
$1586.00, the Gas Company has
asked the first increase in rates
here since gas was installed, in
Yoakum in 1928. Rates were
reduced in 1937.

The Yoakum Toms defeated
the Victoria Rosebuds with a
score of 6-5 Sunday Afternoon
on the Tom’s diamond to win
the second game of the Shaugh-
nessy playoff finals for the
championship of the Guadalupe
Valley League. Victoria had
won the first game of the play-
off finals last Thursday, in Vic-
toria.
The game was witnessed by
a large crowd — an estimated
750 to 800 cheering fans, who
have confidence in the Toms and
want to see them win this three-
out-of-five-game series.
The Toms play their next
game in Victoria, tonight; this
will be the third game of the
series — the fourth also being
played in Victoria Thursday
night, August 17th.
