SOME GOOD REASONS
Why Mayor Elmendorf Should be Re
tanned For Another Term.

tanned For Another Term
The corporations and monopOlies are
against Mayor Elmendorf, for what
the people have gained has been n loss
to them and naturally they want the
old rates restored.
During the Callaghan administration
the city paid the San Antonio Gas
company 60 cents per night for each
arc light.
The present administration reduced
this rate 81 cents per night. and as
there are 200 arc lights used this is Il
saving of $50 per day. or nearly SD
900 year.
OF course this corporation wants Il
change.
The Callaghan administration paid
the waterworks company $4,000 per
annum for rental of fire hydrnnts and
agreed TO pay them $50 per year for
each additional hydrant placed. and
at that rate the present rental would
amount to upward OF $4,000.
The present administration reduc-
ed the fire hydrant rental to $24 900
per year, which includes all fire by
drantS to be established, fifty per
year, all water used for street sprink-
ling, public use in school houses and
city hall, flushing sewers and water
closets in the entire city connected
with the sewer system, free of charge.
This makes difference of nearly $780,
600 per year to the waterworks COM
pany and as a matter of course this
little monopoly wants change of adj
miniStration.
During Mr.. Callaghan'S administra-
ton the annual budget for printing
and advertising amounted to $4,000,
while that of the present administra-
ton amounts to less than $1,000, a diff,
ference of more than $1,000. This
is why some others want Il change.
During the last four years of the
Callaghan administration the San An
tonic National bank received annually
from the city from $4,000 to $4,000
as interest money for general. fund
and sinking fund advances, while the
monthly balances OF monies belonging
to the city and deposited with the
said bank were upwards of S2OO,0O0
for which the bank paid no interest
The city was simply borrowing its
own money and paying interest on
same.
During the past two years no inter
est was paid to the said bank and nat
urally it wants change of admins
tratiOn.
Cleaning bitches and river cost I'M
der former administrations $500,
per annum. while the present has il
done for less than $500.
The board of equalization of tax
formerly received $1,000, while now
the same work is performed for $500
The police department, health de-
partment, fire alarm system and city
parks are all conducted at a much
reduced expenditure.
There is not an employe in any OF
the various departments of the city
whose pay is less than $50 per day

FRENCH METHOD OF KEEPING MANURE.
is generally practiced in Europe, and
the product obtained is highly esteemed
as a fertilizer. It is livery dark colored,
or even black, and acquires highly
offensive odor, while the straw in it
loses it's consistency and becomes soft
and incoherent.'' This black substance
is held by certain French agriculturists
to possess special value as plant food.
In connection with the foregoing W.
H. Beal gives an illustrated description
in bulletin issued by the department.
of a method employed in the prepare
ton Of this we'll rotted manure in
France: The manure is placed on slight
~ inclined plats of packed earth Or c.
ment, so arranged that the teachings
drain out into pit from which they are
pumped up and distributed over the
manure heap. 1t is usual to provide two
manure plats SO arranged that when one
is full (when the manure is eight to ten
feet high) it may be allowed to ferment
undisturbed while the other is used.
The manure is carried from the stables
to the top Of the manure heap in wheel
barrows over an inclined plane Of boards.
Care is also taken to smooth sdown the
sides of the heap to prevent the too free
access Of air and the loss Of teachings.
