Mr., Field then explained his reason
in presenting this report re-
lating to the Texas n
Pacific railway authorities. When
the communication from the Texas
n Pacific rail way was received IL was
not diiec ed ~ any member of the city
government; that he had as member
Of the said government addressed
several letters 10 the officers OF the
! Texas Il Pacific railway aud he had
never yet received an answer. If the
city had agreed with the railway COM
pany to clos Houston and other sti ee
and open Main street and jennings
avenue, with the understanding that
the company was 10 do certain wolk
upon Main strickland jennings avenue,
the company had certainly iaiied TO
carry out their part of the agreement.
! IL the railway company wished 10 con-
fer with the CITY upon certain work
which they wished TO perform and the
city would be benefited thereby, he
/ would be glad To meet the company in
all their undertakings and give all the
help that he could.
Alderman Andrews said that he did
not consider that the members of the
city county had done anything 10 call
for the scurril0us attack from Ger.
tain evening paper; that since he had
been member Of the board IL had al
WAYS been his wlah To cause these
railway companies TO fulfill their obli-
Cations to the city even II II should
have 10 be done by the strong arm OF
the law; that he was one of the menu
beers Of the council who was present
when the agreement between the city
and the company was made, and ne
agreed TO the proposition of the COM
pany understanding that the agree
ment would be fulfilled, but II had not
been done, but II the railwR, company
wished 70 do certain things and would
make II apparent that they meant
what they said he would be willing 20
do anything wi hin his power for the
benefit OF the city.
The report being placed before the
council was adopted.
