The alignment of the city coun
cil for and against the new sub-di
vigion ordinance remained un
changed when it was put to a vote
last night and once more Mayor
Ralph B. Hanna defied toe citizens
and ydted to break the tie and pass
to| measure.
He and two commissioners ap
parently ignored the wishes of the
people as they steam-rollered the
measure through.
The only change in procedure
from the first passage of toe mea
sure was that Commissioner B. A.
Bracey instead of Commissioner J.
Leon Godwin made the motion for
adaption of toe ordinance and God
win seconded the motion.
Commissioner . Bracey made it
very clear that he didn’t care what
ettiaens of toe town think.
“LET ’EM CUSS”
"Let ’em cuss ua," Commissioner
Bracey remarked after passage of
toe measure, ‘‘they can’t do any
worse than they are doing now.”
The measure provides that toe
developer of a subdivision be re
imbursed at top rate of not more
than fifty cents per linear foot
for the labor cast on water Installa
tions hi their development and the
same amount on sewer Installs
tionA. ':i ■ ■ , ...
This provision is written into the
ordinance tor the benefit of the
property owners who are impatient
and do not wish to wait for the
towr to do toe work. Otherwise, the
work can be dime at the conven
ience of toe town, at such Ume as
itae town employes are not busy
ateewhere.
BASS AND BBTAN OPPOSE
; Commissioner Bill Bryan stuck
doggedly to his contention that it
was not naoeasary to offer the
work as sn Inducement to develop
er* of eubdMstons outside toe town
to com*.in. He insisted that the ad
vantages of being in town far out
weighed toe east of installations.

THE RECORD
GETS RESULTS
NO. 147
Robertson Wins
Concessions By
Deblinq Firmly
SEOUL, Korea (IP)
Korean sources said today
President Syngman Rhee
appears willing to compro
mise on his two major de
mands which have blocked
an armistice.
A source close to the 78-year-old
president said Rhee had changed
his position on placing a definite
90-day time limit on a post-armi
stice political conference’s work on
unifying Korea.
Other quarters said Rhee had be
come convinced that President Eis
enhower could not guarantee quick
Senate ratification of a mutual se
curity pact between the Uir>-«i
States and Korea and therefore had
dropped his demand for a pre-ar
mistice treaty.
Rhee’s previous stand on these
two demands had been immovable
and had resulted in missions to
Korea by Gen. Mark W. Clark,
Far Eastern United Nations com
mander, and Assistant Secretary of
State Walter S. Robertson, Presi
dent Eisenhower’s personal truce
envoy.
SWAYED BY TALKS
The source close to Rhee said
straight talking by Robertson in
meetings Thursday and today had
swayed Rhee into a compromise.
Robertson .won the concession
from Rhee by dealing firmly with
the rebellious South Korean leader,
the source said.
In these sessions, Robertson was
reported to have flatly spurned
Rhee’s demand for United States
agreement to resume the fighting
in Korea if the political conference
failed to submit a unification plan
, acceptable to the South Korean ?
■ government j- . .-.jj
Informed sources in’ Washington
said Thursday night the United-
States might consider breaking' Off
the political conference if toe Com
munists deliberately stalled against
reasonable plans for unifying Ko
rea.
But these informants emphasized
the United States would not bow- .
to Rhee and start shooting again
just because he might happen 'to
dislike the suggestions on the fu
ture of Korea.
Scheidt Urges 1

pealed to motorists today to drive
