also given full control Of the UNI

The item as published was SIM
pie, plain English, and could mean
nothing, except what the diction
expressed, although Mr.. Beckmann
quickly jumps at conclusions. or
course Alderman Beckmann as an
architect, has just as much right
to do work for a sewer pipe factory,
as he has for a brewery, or Music
hall. II Street Talk had said !:
Alderman Beckmann was drawing
plans for a sauitarium for DR..
Herff at Boerne, it would not mean
to say that the honorable alder
man was Logging for the water
works, because DR.. Herff might
happen to be a stakeholder in the
