G. I. TO PAY RENTAL Mayor Mooro Indicated today he In tends to veto the Hall gas lease ordi nance which would increaso the price of gas here from .?1 to $1.10 a thousand cubic feet. He would not, 'however, definitely state bis plan, Tho Mayor has until Thursday to ap prove or disapprove the bill and will send the ordinance to Council with a message. Ho mado this statement to day: "Mayor Moore this morning began the writing of his message to Council on the Hall gas lcaso ordinance. The Mayor said ho would have to do this In snatches during today and tomorrow becnusc of the Interviews and confer ences intervening, "Ho said he had listened to nbout all tho elements necessary to be heard on the question of the ordinance, and that he would deal with it as a yes or no proposition. He said the ordinance came In such form that there could bo no compromise upon it; it would have to bo voted up or down. "Until Thursday, he said, he would not indicate what tho message was to bo. Tho regular order required tliat it should go first to Council. He said ho had heard rumors of a possible com promise or of the probable withdrawal of the ordlnnnce, but that these rumors would not affect his action." During tho two public hearings on the gas ordinance tho Mayor frequently emphasized that tho measure made no provision for negotiations looking to n permanent lcaso. Ho gave tho impres sion that ho bcliovcd tho omission a very serious defect. Samuel T. Bodlne, president of the United Gas Improvement Co., the lessee of tho city-owned gas pinnt, sold today the rental of $082,700.20 due the city, would bo paid July 30. This sum is for the quarterly period ending June 30.

Thcso positions will bo determined by lot. This new fenturo In the election laws is pointed out in n pamphlet on elec tions prepared by George D. Thorn. Superlnlondent of Elections of the State Dcpnrtmcnt at Harrlsburg. In former elections, the position was fixed by printing tho names of candi dates in alphabetical order. Hence, In fnctional lights, thero wns always nn effort to get candidates who hnd names beginning with "A" or "IJ" or with other letters found In tho "near end" of tho alphabet. Also, this mothod of printing names wns used ln such a way thftt voter would bo confused. For example, if the real condldate of any element wns "Moore" then tho opposition would try to divert votes by putting somo one of the namoof "Moor" on the ballot, even though io real cnndlnine ol tho opposi tioa had an entirely different nnino. It has been estimated that the can didates at the head of tho alphabetical trder could get huge lots of votes sim ply because of their favored position on the ballot. Tho McNIchol law changed this nnd did awav with trickery by caving posi tions determined by lot. Tho registration law was chanced In the last session po ns to ptuvirtc- for what is described as permanent regis tration. That is, voters who were reg istered for the previous year, nnd who in tho following yenr reside in the same houso "shall, after being sworn nnd producing n tax receipt, be again reg istered without answering additional questions."
