Fare Increase to Norman Taxi
Drivers.
An ordinance restricting the oc-
cupation of certain sections of the
residence district of iNorman by
groceries, laundries, tailor shops and
other businesses that may be a nui-
sance to the residents was proposed
and discussed at the meeting of the
city commissioners Tuesday night
according to W. R. Gater, city man-
ager.
No particular business was men-
tioned, Gater said, the proposition
was simply discussed by the commis-
sioners and left over to be acted on
at the next meeting, which will be
held May 11.
Another matter discussed was one
granting a fifty-cent fare to the tax-
icabs instead of the twenty-five cent
fare that is now charged.
\ bid for the paving of West Eu-

She Needs Many More.
Many oi the rooms listed vith the
secretary of the Chamber of loin

the rooms are gone and the waiting

have been assigned. The situation
was slightly aided by the Pullman
