THE EIGHTH WARD.

1
There is no doubt that San AntO-
Mo has in her city council the
ablest body of men that she has
had in any council in a decade, but
it does not necessarily follow that
! they are the ablest council. There
is in this present council the same
I tendency to run in a groove that
has been observed in all of it's pre-
| deceSSOrS. There is not that per-
sOnal effort to strike out for results,
that study of the real wants of the
several sections of the city, that
comparison of the demands of the
several wards upon the attention
of the council, that is so necessary
to prepare the city Legislature
for its work of legislation for
all sections, regardless of how
much or how little any one section
may or may not have done in
the past or may do in the future
to maintain the pretensions of this
or that member. The council
were not chosen that they might
strengthen themselves individually
or collectively for future candi-
dacy before the people, but that
they might in the very best way
possible serve the city, devising
for it's cleanliness and improve
ment in every way, only careful to
discharge to the city the oblga-
tions that they assumed when
they accepted office. There is not
a question of the ability of the
council. 1t is body of men of
whom San Antonio is just
ly proud. But that is not all, nor
even is it the beginning. The
council has been in office long
enough to understand some of the
pressing needs of the city, and one
of these is a regular supervision of
the streets, an exhaustive ac-
quaintance with the condition of
every one of them and a tabulated
statement of the work expended in
the several wards, in order to real
iZe Just how each section of the
city has Jared in the past at the
hands of the council. There
should be some regular syS-
tenn under which street i'm
prOVmentS are to be made.
The natural course would be
to commence with those streets
that are most travelled, lying near
est to the heart of the city, and so
out of repair as to necesSitat e i'm
mediate work. With the exception
Of the work done on GOliad street
when Pauly was alderman, the
eighth ward has been systematic

in horrible condition. The street
leading from Alamo plaza to the
Mission Garden and to Arkansas
Pass depot is not fit to turn a
wheel on, and yet that street has
several good business houses on it
and is as generally used as any CEN
trail street in town. In every other
ward some good work has been
done, but in this nothing that
amounts to more than an excuse
has been wrought in years. To this
council the people of this ward
look for redress, and they will not
get it until the council personally
examine the condition of its lead
ing streets and note what they are
in justice entitled to.
