4 q the bull to be introduced in the iegis-
lsture to extend the corporate limits OF
the city of Dallss. Should East D&Ess,
decide to fight the matter out andeAs&
then when 1t Is coerced to annex 1t would
minus many advantages thai the old town
is willing to concede now. The
property owners are divided as to
which policy to pcrsue. Some think t1at
the Legislature will drive them into Dallas
against their will, while others are fearful
Of the money influence aud real estate
buucomoe that the old town will exert At
Austin. But whether East Dallas apnexes
a. hsr own VolitIon or is coercso, the fast
remains that it ought to be q part CT Dai-
!Ss. Its people make their money IN
Dallas, their property lie Valusblt because
of Dallas, and they pArtake OF all the ben.
etits OF Dallas' increasing prosperity and
they should share the burdens.
Apart from this, the annexation
of Esst Dallas would assure
the passsge Of bill TO give DAll&s county
q separate criminal court. This Is one Of
the crying needs q the whole county.
The district court is now about TWO years
behind with its business, and the wheels
of Justice xre clogged with an almost In
tangible mass Of litigation. This Is true
to such IN extent that 1t has become al
most S nuisance.
NKKDS RE DIsIRICTING.
Said gentleman to-day: "The city Of
Dallas should be re-districted. There
sre st presen: nine wards, and in case
East Dallas comes In there will be
three more, the limit Of the present
charter, as the city council cannot NJ
present consist CT more than twenty four
members. The manner in which the
wards are arranged at present is great
iuiustice TO most ri the people. The
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards contain
Ioout 1900 people each. yet they have the
same representation in the council that
the old city wards have with 5000 people
and upSsrds. This Is manifest wrong.
The couI Gil proposes to give East Dallas
three wards au1 consequently SIX alder
men should 1t annex, yet East Dallas is
not IS populcUs as Either the Second Or
Sixth wa!ds. Then Sgsin, the council Is
too unweildy even now. II Esst Dallas
comes in then tie whole city should be
diFidet into SIX wards containing each
aSout the same number OF inhSoitants.
