TuE DALLAS REAL ESTATE AND
BUILDING AAsOCIATION.

This association viii have lts second
annual election for officers on the lasl
Monday In this month, due notice OF
which will be given through the adVer'
Using columns OF tho HERALD THIS
IL one of our leading enterprises, ana
has contributed largely towards the
building up Of onrclty, All the invest
ments have been profitable and judi
cIous, and reflect credit upon the board
of directors for the management dis
played, There are some features In
the charter of the association which
time and experience have proven
might be improved, one of which we
viii mention. II the stock could he
made available as security or collateral,
II would meet the wants of n great
number who own shares, by enabling
them to keep up their monthly INSTALL
menls. We wouldsuggest that on pay
ment of fifteen installments, or one
hundred and fifty dollars on each share,
that certificate for one-third full
paid stock of the share, be issued and
made transferable. by this means, II
seems TO w, the association VIII retain
the shareholder, AZ he Will have
made three additional payments on
his share, over and above his one
third paid certificate, and he will bt
able 10 meet his future monthly dues
by bypothecating the certificate. Thit
certificate, of course, would only entitl'
the owner to onc-third vote In cleo
lions and one-third in the dividends
and the stock would thus be enhanced
In value, rs II makes 1t negotiable an'
In such shape that II may be market
able. This matter should be duly con
sidered by the stockholders in TIN
forthcoming meeting, and proper M
thority should he vested In the boar'
of directors to have the charter 81
amended rs in their Judgment may b.
for the best interest of the association
We may be permitted to add that tn
present board have been peculiarly for
tunate in their selection of William I
p. Barry as secretary. We feel pleased
to say that he has filed the position
with credit to himself and profit to the
association.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
We would call the attention of the
city authorities, and more especially
that of the health officer and city en-
gineer, to the large pond of water that
rests in the northeast angle formed by
Sycamore and embankment of the
Texas and Pacific railroad.
This Is u reservoir for the drainage OF
n large portion of the third ward, and
as u matter of course cannot be consid-
dered as of any use whatever. If it is
allowed to remain until the heated
term sets in, ii will become stagnant,
and be the cause of no little sickness.
Now, that we have the experience of
Shreveport to profit by, if our city is
visited by yellow fever and other ma
lignant diseases, the peoples curses
will fall, in great measure, upon those
persons whose duty it is now to look to
the local causes of such diseases, and
see that there is nothing within its
limits to encourage or foster disease OF
any kind, thereby injuring the fair
reputation of our city at home and
abroad.
Let them see to this and other such
places in the city in due season, and
Dallas will pass through each and eve-
ry summer as healthy as last, and con-
tinue to maintain her many other adj
vantages by this one being healthy
city. Officers, to your duty.
