Secretary. President.
There is a better feeling existing In
real estate circles than for some time
past based upon the election of Col. J
P. Smith for mayor. It became appar-
ent early in the day yesterday that hs
was certain of election and men ex-
pressed themselves freely TO the effect
that his election would do the city much
good. Col. Smith has been a city
| builder in the past and will more than
maintain his reputation. 1t Is believed
that he may be able to do something
to have the Albuquerque built
and be will certainly keep al
| public improvements under way,
During his administration fine
city hall and grand Federal building
Will go up in Fort Worth. Two or more
| fire balls will also be built and park will
| be procured and beautihed. Peter Smith
will furnish more than one good item for
the realty and building column in the
near future.
RIVERSIDE CAR LINE.
Mr.. Boring of the Riverside company
said yesterday that the iron bridge over
the Trinity would be completed by Au-
gust 20, and inside of fOrty-fiye days
Contractor Ratican will have the track
laid and cars would be running to Syl-
vania. Mr.. Z. +. Chase has ordered
several Pullman vestibule cars for the
line and they were shipped from Chicago
on August /. The right of way under
the tracks of the railroad companies has
been secured, and there is now nothing
in the way of pushing the work. About
the time active work begins on the
Riverside line work will also begin on the
Park street railway.
NEW COURTHOUSE.
Judge Sam Furman, who was yester-
day elected alderman, was for four years
county Judge, and handled the affairs OF
the county IN q mastery manner. He
thoroughly understands county affairs,
and is therefore authority on anything
pertaining to county improvements. He
says that it has been the custom TO
charge the jail debt against the court
house fund, and that it will have to be
paid off and then tine county will find
courthouse bonds in demand, and that
$500 900 of such bonds can easily be
placed and magnificent courthouse
built. It may take some little time to do
this, but it need not stop the preparation
for the erection of the finest courthouse
in the state of Texas. Before work be-
gins on this fine courthouse grand city
hall should be built and occupied.
