SHORT SNAPPERs.

1--WE tne poor peOple Worh ny
voting for sewers
The doctor who owns $4,000 in
water stock is opposed to sewers.
The Water company is not stuck
on their contract of furnishing
free water for sewers.
Does anybody know what
"Knopps and Lehman" is talking
about.
If there were no county offices to
scramble for, there would not be a
hundred votes against sewers.
The Water company will give
you six dollars worth Of free water
a year, if you vote for sewers.
San Antonio is bound to have
sewers, but it is best for the people
to own them.
"a leap into the dark Pre-
ligious Daily. Some of us may
leap into "the fire." If we vote
against sewers, when an epidemic
strikes the town.
When a doctor says sewers in
San Antonio will increase sickness,
don't you think he ought to be
turned over to DR.. Barker down at
the Asylum?
The Water company will furnish
every water closet with free water,
which they now charge $6 year,
IL you vote for sewers.
1t now costs from $40 to $25 a
year for cleaning out prlvy vaults
vote for sewers, and you will save
this expense, as the Water COM
pany will furnish you water free
to flush the same.
In 1890 Mayor Callaghan and
the Board of Health said "the town
needed sewers" Is the town any
cleaner now than it was four years
ago? Vote for sewers.
San Antonio doesn't want any
more corporation monopolies, but
the town must have sewers. So
vote for the city to build them.
The LIGHT has so much other
news today, the big sewer petition
is crowded out. 1t is surely to
appear tomorrow. 1t is whopper ;
look out for it.
The person who introduced the
celebrated resolution at the Sixth
ward meeting calling or the adj
ministration to resign, is not
known on the taxpayers roll.
One of the strong anti-sewer ad-
vocates, is the same person who
called at the LIGHT office little
over a year ago, and asked us to
sign, his petition for city job.
The LIGHT is not pleased with
everything the city administration
has done, but the town must have
sewers.
One of the leading men who is
fighting the sewer proposition is
one of the proposed company, who
who is to ask the city for a fran
chise to build sewers. Sabe!
If you think the town does not
need sewers, just stand on the
DEluS6 DebWttu Ull0 EAplSSS anu
LIGHT office, and take a look at
and smell the great mass of filth
running into the river through the
sewer pipes under the Express Of
flee.
Alderman Jack Daugherty says
he lives in the Seventh ward, and
will not resign, because an "old
bum" in some other ward is mad
because the mayor would not ap-
point him to city job.
The water company is now fur
nishing water to flush about 1000
closets in the city, for which they
get about $4,000 a year; if the
sewer proposition is carried the
company offers to furnish water
free for flushing. AS it is estimated
that there will be about 5000 closets
to supply when the sewers are
completed, the water will be worth
free to the taxpayers, about $4,000

IA leap in the dark"-a vote
against the sewers.
To wait until the interested OPP
ponents of sewers are ready to build
them will be "a leap in the dark"
The man who votes against sew
ers will not only take ga leap in
the dark" but land in the bottom
Of muck pit.
Bryan Callaghan is working
against sewers-revenge.
Frank Grice is working against
sewers-Paschal took the pap
spoon out of the Coloners mouth
revenge.
Capt. BROKER is working against
sewers--revenge.
Otto Solms is opposing sewers
because he don't like Paschal-re-
venge.
This sewer contest has narrowed
down to a local political vendetta
on the part of the opponents of the
proposition. If our city treasury
was running over with money, If
our city was threatened with pes
tilence--if every condition was urg-
ent for sewers,-lt would be OPP
posed by the political clique that
opposes it today.
The people are asked to post
pone the issue of bonds for sewers
until after the next city election.
Why? Because it will suit Mr..
Frank Grice, Otto Solms, Capt.
BROKER and lot of people who
have it In for Paschal.
Why do these opponents of sew
ers want to postpone the question?
Not because the proposition is not
fully understood; not because the
plans are not perfect; not because
the city is unable to undertake the
work; but because Paschal is
mayor, and he has not pleased the
rich corporations and the Gala
CHAN wing of the county office
holders trust.
The people who live out of the
circle of interested local politicians
who have homes and families; who
are not influenced by the trickery
of approaching elections, will think
over this matter and vote the sew
ers.
We must have sewers-there is
not a man in this city that will
deny this. We must borrow the
money to build them-that is adj
mitted. Then the sooner the work
is begun the better. Was there
ever time when public work
would do more to help out than
now?
