Special Street Committee.

The special committee of the City
Council on street improvements met this
morning at IL O'Clock in the City Coun-
Gil chamber. Messrs. Callaghan, French.
Lockwood, Gallagher and Matlack,
members of the committee, were pres
ent.
The object before the committee was
the apportionment Of $4,000 for street
Improvements from this years appro-
prlation, and the time Of the committee
from ii to ~ wRs principally consumed
in argument as to what streets in the
first ward would most need the Improve
ments. Arsenal, South Flores, South
Laredo and Cevallos streets were under
consideration, though South Laredo and
and South Flores have been partially i'm
proved with maoadam and do not need
Ii so much. South Flores will require
a wider stretch OF macadam than 1t now
has when the traffic of the Arkansas Pass
road increases, as II will. The Telford
Style will probably be adopted. The
committee Is yet Ia session.

Water WORKS comparIsons.

The Rochester, n. Y, water works
are ewned by the city, and use the lIol-
ly pump. The running expenses must
be fullyas much as those of the San An
tonic water works, yet the price Is only
- 80 year for family use, 50 for bath,
81 for water closets, etc. Poughkeep-
sic, n, Y, also owns its own water
works, pumps from the Hudson to a re-
seryior, and yet furnishes water to pri-
yate consumers at 81 year, baths at
u 90 and water closets at 50. DAYTON,
Ohio, about the same size of San Anto-
mo, has It's own works, pumps direct
with Holly pumps, and furnishes to prl-
Yate consumers Mt - year, baths at 81
and closets at 81 80. Memphis has a
private company, but furnishes water at
~ year to private consumers, So for
baths, and 50 for water closets. And
yet the Water Works company Of this
CITY claim that they cannot furnish
water cheaper than the present rates,
ana they claim that II the city owned
the works that il would be impossible
10 run them.
