NOTES OF PROGRESS.
W. J. Boaz is erecting a neat cottage
on Louisiana avenue, at cost of $500.
There is stin talk of securing brew
cry, and it is said negotiations are still
under way.
A gentleman who has considerable
knowledge of railroad affairs ana who is
in position to obtain accurate iuforma-
ton, says that a grand union depot Will
be built on the Texas and Pacific reser-
vstion, between Taylor and Lamar
streets.
1t Will amply repay all who drive out
to-day to take a look at the huge packery
going up near the Union stockyards.
The suggestion to build the Spring
Palace of 1891 out of wrought iron, glass,
granite marble and stone meets with ap-
proval in all quarters.
Robert Craig, engineer on the Texas
and Pacific, is building two-story cot
tage residence not far from the Union
depot.
M. Mcnamara is building q two
story storehouse on the South Side east
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
L. Sawyer is building handsome cot
tage residence on the South Side.
Alderman Mes says that at least
twenty FIVE good cottage residences have
few months.
Material is on the ground in the Union
depot addition for four residences to be
built by railroad employees.
Messrs. Scheilworth and Waldenburg
Texas Pacific engineers, will build two
residences near the Boaz school house in
the near future.
Mr.. MCNAMARA is erecting q residence
on Missouri avenue.
Mr.. L. Dahlman is expected home
some time this month, and then, it is
said, the refrigerator Will be put in or
der to slaughter 200 head of cattle q
day.
1t is the intention of the present owners
of the stove foundry to have the works
in full operation in thirty to sixty days.
Judging from expressions of aldermen
on the subject, the work of repairing the
great iron bridge over the Trinity will
soon be under way. One alderman says
q SIS ZOO structure should have been
built in the first place.
Almost the first thing Capt. J. @.
Terrell said on his return from Austin
was that the Trinity bridge should be re-
paired at once.
The one subject in the way of improve
ment most generally discussed is
the building of grand hotel |
and the citizens seem anxious to !
get the latest information on the |
subject. Something like So, 900 is as |
sured for the bonus, which leaves $35 900 |
still to be raised if the demand for q sub |
sidy of S100, 600 is insisted on.
Subscriptions to cotton mill lots are
coming in rapidly, and IL sufficient |
number OF lots aTe sold work on the mills |
will commence in thirty or forty days.
The location of the next Spring Palace
is being discussed. One site of twenty
one acres near the city will be offered as
3 donation.

called upon respond as favorabl7 as
