could be had for $4,000. Twenty thous-
and dollars were appropriated by the
last legislature to supply water to the luna
tic asylum, and it is said the board will
postpone action until the extra session of
the legislature in the hope that the thirty
thousand dollars to connect all the govern
ment buildings with a perfect systom of
water works will be appropriated. The
deaf and dumb and lunatic asylums are
now dependent on cistterns and wells, and
as pure and cold water is an
absolute necessity at these institutions the
adoption of this movement would album
dainty meet this want, as the water of Bar
toms creek is considered the purest and
coolest in Texas.

Responsible Architects.

From the California architect and Building Re-
pie,o the following is taken:
"The question is often asked: Is it possible to
avoid the dangers arising from doing inferior work
in the building line We answer, yes ! by avoid
ing mere pretenders architects and builders,
and trusting those important duties to none but
thoroughly qualified and capable men, who under
integrity to perform the work as it should be.
When owners become anxious to find and en-
ploy good men to do their work, because they are
good, rs they are to find the cheapest men because
they the cheapest better work will be the rule.
But 50 long rs fierce composition governs and con-
trolls the letting Of work. and all classes are allow
ed to figure, and the lowest bidder accepted de-
fectivc work may be expected, for men who
figure down to non-paying prices calculate to So
themselves in every possible way against loss;
and in whatever way dollar can be saved, it is
done, with solictude regret for probable con-
sequences. Let the architect see that sights or
omissions are not practced. 70 do this would
often require incessant attention. at the sacrifice
of all other engagements, for many of those who
undertake contracts are wholly incompetent to ex-
ecute proper work, and need an instructor con-
stantly even if they are disposed to do the best
they can. But quite AZ often this class of men
knowingly seek to omit. hide, and corner up all
that is possible and unless the architect is as keen
it is possible for him To be- and as faithful u
house-dog, advantages will be taken of him we'll
the owners. And 1t is demanding extraordinary
and seldom sufficiently paid-for services, to carry
work to completion satisfactorily in all respects,
when inferior men are entrusted with contracts "
