Odor Probe on San Antonio River Behind City Hall
The city fire department investigated odors from the San Antonio river between Fourth and Ninth streets after residents complained. Philip N. Albright led the probe with the Division of Environmental Sanitation, noting the smell resembled sewage but no visible contamination. Lab tests and consultation with the state health engineer are underway, with collaboration from the Public Service board, sewer department, and river and ditches department. The team aims to complete the inquiry in a few days.

Utility Rate Cuts Urged by City Public Service Board
The City Public Service board urged gas and electricity rate cuts, opposing changes to the utility indenture that would give the city about 960000 yearly in profits. The board favored refinancing 27000000 in outstanding revenue bonds at any saving, while arguing consumers already pay more than Houston and Dallas residents for utilities. It cited wasteful spending on engineers and questioned Hartt's report supporting higher city revenue.
