March 30 – Mayor C. L. Duke has installed an up-to-date radio outfit and after he has finished the day’s work he listens to grand opera concerts in Chicago and William Jennings Bryan in Philadelphia.  Speaking of Mayor Aldredge being kept in constant connection with the city of Dallas by means of wireless during his late illness, the Mayor of Forney says the Dallas executive is not going to have  “a thing on him”, for this summer when he goes out to his hay ranch he expects to be able to know what is going on in town and to know the exact moment an oil well is brought in.
