Vernon mayor joins protest against measure in Austin
Mayor Harry Mason of Vernon reported back from the Parnell utilities bill hearing in Austin where he joined Texas mayors in opposing a bill they say would discriminate against city governments in favor of private utilities. He argued cities must keep funds for waterworks and other departments, and questioned the bill’s impact on home rule and state rights. Senator Parnell defended parts but indicated amendments, while the Senate committee delayed a report. The measure faces doubt of passage with protest ongoing. Sewing machines sold, across from Farmers State Bank.
