A $65,000 investment that pays an annual return of nearly
$100,000—that’s the sort of business Fort Worth’s city government
is doing with its 1174 parking meters.
The “business’ is being operated on a yearly expenditure of
around $6000, and on Oct., 1 the city will make its final payment on
the last purchase of nickel in-the-4 ‘
slot machines. - —
City authorities wish they .had
’ about a dozen other sources of
‘ revenue as lucrative as parking
meters. They are convinced the
meters are one of the wisest in-

Thia means that makers of

product could have contracted
with, retailers to fixe the price
and no one could have sold below
that price.
‘Would Cost Public’
Opponents charged that the
“fair trade" act was a price-rais-
ing act which would cost the pub-
lic more than a two per cent gen-
eral sales tax, without benefiting
the state directly,
Proponents said their intention
was not to raise prices, but to
protect products from price cut-
ting and sale as "loss leaders,”
that is, articles sold by some re-
tailers at a loss in order to get
customers into their stores.
Makes Hostile Comment
Governor O’Daniel asked for the
opinion, propounding six ques-
tion*, some of them hostile. One
of the queation* whether the act
conflicted with anti-trust law*, to
which the governor added the fol-
lowing hostile comment:
“I understand there always has
been a question as to whether the
kind of contracts contemplated in
this act are in violation of some
anti-trust statute. If the con-
tracts described are not in viola-
tion of the statute it would be dif-
ficult to understand the purpose
of this act.”
