TO REPAY PAVING TAXES.

Waco Council Passed Ordinance, hut
Mayor Will Veto 1t.
Waco, Texas, October 1.-THE city
council tonight passed an ordinance levy
ing a tax for the purpose OF refunding
special taxes paid on street paving. When
the streets were paved special tax was
levied on the abutting property. Some Of
the owners made the first payments,
amounting in the aggregate to $4,000;
others refused and were sued, the cases
appealed and the special tax levy declared
by the higher courts to be illegal. Those
who paid have sought reimbursement,
hence the ordinance. Mayor McCulloch gave
notice that he would veto the ordinance.

MR.. BALL POPULAR.

For number of years dhe Lone Star
States interests were represented on the
committee by Judge 10 Abbott. And he
always managed to see that his State re-
ceived her pro rata. His successor on the
rivers and harbors committee this congress
is Representative Thomas Ball. who Is
serving his first term. During the extra
session which came to an end last July
Judge Ball made a most favorable i'm
preston on the older members. True. there
was not much for the democrats to do dur
ing the extra session, for the reason that
Autocrat Reid had a cut and dried pro-
gramme for his party and tine minority was
helpless, but Notwithstanding that fact
Judge Ball found several occasions to
demonstrate TO the house that he had the
stun in him out OF which our statesmen
are made. The best proof that his abilities
were recognized was his appointment on the
rivers and harbors committee There can
be no question but that he will be a wor-
thy successor to Judge Abbott, who was one
OF the most popular men in the house. And
when 1t comes to securing liberal appro-
priations In the rivers and harbors bill for
ones district and State popularity counts
10 per cent In the fight. The rivers and
harbors interests OF Texas are indeed in
good hands.
