three judges OF that court, the

doors, ETC., consist Of Texas pine
and.show off nicely.
The vaults OF the District and
county clerks offices are burglar
and fire proof and are provided
with combination locks. While it
is necessary that the vaults be fire
proof for the safety of valuable
deeds and papers, the burglar
proof is altogether unnecessary, as
no money is kept in these vaults.
AS for papers, deeds, etc, there is
no danger of any burglary being
committed to secure them. III any
one wants to steal papers he can
do so at daytime. The vaults are
always open to the public, but it
would not be advisable for anyone
to steal any papers or deeds, II he
cares for his liberty.

sist Of fees only.
Bids for cleaning the San An
tonic river from the city brewery
to the mill bridge were ordered.
A crosswalk at Main avenue
and Maple street was ordered, and
the work on Sycamore street was
ordered done in the regular order,
by the street commissioner and
the council adjourned.
NOTES.
Alderman Dreiss has returned
to the city and was present In his
chair.
Alderman Devine made a gal
liant defense Of the Fourth ward in
its claims for street improvements.
There were few citizens in the
audience. The council chamber is
not comfortablein the hot after
moons and has no rotary fans.
Alderman Hoef1ing came in very
tardy. He had been attending
the Republican county executive
committee and did not look very
we'll pleased.
Alderman Oge again registered
his vote against the increase of
police salaries, while the chairman
of the finance committee gracefully
acquiesed to the inevitable.
Alderman Guergu;n evidently
thinks there is now room enough
to open Dolorosa street along the
river south Of Market street, since
the river is getting so low.
The police committee left the
Dawson street dance hall in the
hands of the mayor for settlement.
1t is hard nut to crack, both
sides claiming they are right.
