Eight years ago the LIGHT In a
series of articles advocated the paw
ing Of the principal streets Of this
city with brick. Again and again
at intervals has it brought the SUBJ
ject to the attention Of the City
Council, but nothing definite has
resulted. Now there is quite a
general looking up Of authorities
on such pavements, their durabili"
ty and cost, both as to the original
work and that of repair, are being
considered in certain quarters and
there is little doubt that positive
steps will be taken in experiment.
ing with this material before very
long. There is not a city in the
south where a better quality Of
paving brick can be made and put
upon the market as cheaply as
here. Every one of our principal
streets should be paved with good
vitrified brick before this century
stumbles into the tomb Of its an
cestors.

as though it was a case of sulks

1t will take a good many mis-.
sionaries to convert the millions
who having worshipped their own
deities for centuries are not in a
hurry to swap them for the one pro-
posed by American and British pro.
selyters. 1t looks also as though II
was going to cost no end Of mis-.
sionary material to teach the
churches OF this country that these
hesthens prefer their own religious
ideas to those imposed upon them
practically by force. Suppose the
money and life that Is now ex'
pended in the foreign field was
sacrificed in our large centers OF
heathendom, would not the results
pan out better? Chicago and New
York, Houston and Fort Worth
would be splendid fields for suct
effort. When this work is serious
ly undertaken the Christians o
this pious city will come dowI
handsomely in aid Of such hom
missionary work. San Antonio Ii

to an inch or two in this section

1t will not be the fault Of the
newspapers Of this city II business
is begun at the bunghole and fin
Ished at the spigot, in all that con-
Germs this sewer business. There
is not yet any definite knowledge
as to what is to be done with the
sewage or where 1t is to be dis
posed Of. This city has had lit
tie experience in appropriating the
property of citizens and commit
ting nuisance thereon, without con,
sent Of the owners, and that ought
to be sufficient for this century.

There is no particular fear Of the
credit Of Bexar county standing so
high that it is necessary to with
hold bonds from the competition
OF the highest bidder, for fear the
price will be 80 favorable that it
will astonish the capital Of the
country. Good credit and high
financial standing is just as much
matter of good municipal busI-
ness management as in that Of a
private corporation.

There are more financial doctors,
who in their ignorance imagine
that they have panaces for all the
monetary ills that the country is

the medical world. There is but
one wisdom in dealing with these
empires and that is to give them
the whole road.

AT the meeting of the board of public

The Ballard councilman stated that their
city would plank c street TO the city lin
IT'S or any other street 10 connect with
the street chosen by Seattle as the best
Tor the purpose. There are two routes
under consideration. one OF them by way
OF boulevard and Fremont. and the other
along West street around the water front
me city now has a good plank highway
out as far as Crawford street and XII
bourne avenue, which brings the planked
road 10 Ross. hllbourne avenue has gusr
been planked, as the property owners on
that street asked for this work 20 be done
when the grading Of the street was I'm
ished
To connect at this point with e street
In Ballard IL would probably take about
half a mile OF plankIng. Part OF the way
is over sandy hill that would need only
a little grading TO make beautiful grav-
ely driveway. where no pianking would
be needed. The main disadvantage Of the
water front route would be the cost Of
cutting down the hill ia many places and
the future cost Of keeping the road in re-
pair by reason OF slides.
Both routes viii be carefully considered
before the board viii make any recon-
mendation 10 the city council
