The Confederate Home.

To the Editor of the Statesman:
It has been suggested more than
once by The STATESMAN that if every
adult person in Austin, who is able to
do so, would contribute ST. to the
Home fund, the financial result would
be most gratifying. Dear men and
women of the Capitol City, the writer
of this has lived among you for many
years, and has never known you to
fail when asked for help, and the
endowment of the Confederate Home
surely lies as near to our hearts as any
charity women ever worked for or men
contributed to.
Now, we all know this endowment
fund is but mite compared with
what it should be, and must be before
Texas can provide a home for her
needy, disabled old soldiers.
The suggestion of THE STATESMAN
is simple and a good one, that every
adult in Austin, who can possibly spare
so much, donate 81 to the Home
fund
Seeing how much could be ac-
complished by this simple method,
other towns would adopt the same
plan, and the aggregated result would
be ample endowment for the Home,
and no one perceptably taxed.
Let us make such an effort without
further delay, rememl ering that the
time we spend in procrastination il
long enough for much suffering among
those who look to the Home for
refuge and comfort Ing their helpless
old age. M.

ARBOR DAY.
Suggestions That an Arbor Day Association
Be Formed.

BE Formed.
1t was freely suggested yesterday
that it will be we'll to organize an
Arbor Day association inAustin and
Travis county. Why not? They
have them elsewhere in Texas, and
in some of the great prairie states
they are state institutions and of
great value. Such associations are
of great value to Texas. One will be
of value to Austin and Travis county,
and as the state has fixed an "Arbor
day." it will be eminently proper for
an association to organize here to
properly observe it. At least, such a
suggestion was made yesterday.

a,hansInRIh the Tower.

The city council will in all probability
at its Monday nights meeting take some
action relative to removing the electric
light tow er situated at the corner of Sew
enteenth street and Second avenue and
which Messrs. Mitchell & Lynde have
petitioned the council to change in order
that their new building may be erected.
The tower will be moved as a matter Of
course, but the question is where to
move it. Many of the aldermen favor
transferring 1t to the center of Market
square, or to the Second avenue end of
the square. This is a very good idea. but
a much wiser suggestion has been made
that the four lights be taken from the
tower ar d CONCERTED into arm lights and
iudiciously distributed through the bust
ness par of the city and within the scope
OF the district Illuminated by the tower
lights nov. and that the tower be sent out
to the suburbs where 1t will be of more
service ind at the same time enable the
bringing in OF one or more low lights for
location In the business part OF the city.
This plan seems to be very good one. as
the towers have proved Of more actual
benefit 10 those localities which are in no
degree obscured by the shadows of large
buildings, while the low lights answer all
purposes of lighting in the business
neishborhood very satisfactorily. In
cities that have recently adopted the
electric system of public lighting. this
plan has been very generally adhered to

oughfares and the towers on the out

EDITOR ARsUs:-I quite agree with
you that the city council ought to relieve
Street Commissioner Harris of some
of his arduous duties, for with his
time taken up with auctioneering all
over the county and electioneering for
sheriff, he has hardly time to attend to
the duties of his office. The streets and
alleys have never been in so bad condi-
ton as they have been this fail, and the
street commissioner. whose duties as auc.
tioneer requires his presence in Reynolds
and at other towns. and at farm sales.
should be relieved of the position entire
ly, so that he may auctioneer and cleo
tioneer at his own expense. and not at
the cost of the taxpayers. TAXPAYER.
