effort to lower the Income tnxes paid by
single nnd married men having annual

In get in touch with officials of the

arrange for a meeting to discuss the

Mr. Weglein said the committee would
not meet alone, but It was his thought
thnt they would always meet in con
junction with the other conferees, the
Mayor nnd representatives of the com
pany. He said he expected the conferees
would consider the recommendations and
ndvlce given by the Gas Commission in
its report. Some of these recommenda
tions, he said, no doubt would be
adopted. Mr. Weglein hns already in
timated, however, that he did not favor
the recommendation of n regulatory body
with powers to supervise the gas works

four.
Neither the Mayor nor members of

what they believe Hie their exclusive

the force. The Mayor asserts he's right
and Council declares it's right.
The situation had Its beginning sev

of a force The Mayor refused to dis
charge the one already working.
