oBsTRucTING SIDEWALKS.

City ordinances that were passed and
forgotten months ago are being dragged
forth by Chief of Police Ketchum and en-
forced. So far the chief has met with firm
support of Recorder Allen, who manifests
no hesitation at all TO impose a fine when
the testimony iustifles it,
The latest move is the arrest of nineteen
wholesale dealers and business men for
obstructing the sidewalks.
When Recorder Allen opened court this
morning the little space about his pedestal
was crowded with attorneys and business
men. The cases were called, the inten-
tlon being to take them up separately for
trial, but the few defendants present, act
ing for all the others, asked for a continu-
ance until next Monday. which was
granted.
An informal discussion of the ordinance
then followed, during which each side
gave its views. The contention of the
defendants is that they have the right to
move goods back and forth upon the side
walk, getting them TO and from their placs
of business, and that such occupancy of
the sidewalk does not constitute VIC
lation of the ordinance.
Recorder Aliens construction of the OF
dinance is that twelve feet of any sidewalk
in the business part of the city must be
kept clear of obstruction Under the law
he holds that four feet of the inner side
walk may be used for the storage or dis
play of goods. In discussing the matter
with Post reporter Recorder Allen said
he did not make the ordinances and was In
no manner responsible for them. He
would impose fines whenever the evidence
Is sufficient without regard to whom 1t
might affect.
Like plenty of other ordinances passed
by city councils throughout the country,
this one is vague and indefinite. 1t will
bear most any sort of construction that
any court or jury might see fit to put upon
1t.
The business men will appeal to the
council to have the ordinance abolished

THE SEWERAGE MATTER.

The finance committee of the city coun-
Gil, Messrs. Gilbough, Hughes and Levy,
met with Mayor Jones, DR.. Trueheart and
City Attorney Smith this morning in MIR
Smiths office to consider the matter of
the award OF the sewer arbitrators and to
outline the policy TO be adopted by the
city in accordance Herewith.
1t was concluded to present to the coun-
ell report advising that the city
attorney be empowered to file in the dis
trict court the sewer arbitrators' decree
so that the rights of the city to own and
control the Galveston Sewer conpany's
plant may be perpetuated.
Sixteen OF the nineteen persons who
joined in the injunction proceedings which
threatened to block the settlement of the
sewer matter have agreed to have the suits
withdrawn, and it is hoped that the others
will follow.
The chances for an amicable adjustment
of the whole sewer matter, for the extern
sion OF the sewer plant and for better
sanitation throughout the city, seem
bright.

Al Investigation Into the Recent Purchase
Of the Bark Razeto.
TAX ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN RAISED
The Fire Dcpa rtmcnt IL Being Given
n"ing up-Merchants Charged
with Obstructins sidewalks.

HaiVeston, Texas, August Joe Lee
Jameson, State revenue agent. is here
conducting an investigation into tho pur.
ehase oy the State health officer, DR.. w.
T. Blunt, Of the italian bark Razeto. The
investigation is being made at the instiga. .
tien Of Governor Sayers.
Inc Razeto is wooden craft that put
into this port one day last winter In dis
tress' She lay undisturbed for con-
siderable while and was finally condemned
US unseaworthy by Lloyd's agent after a
survey had been made. The captain and
crew then returned home After the lapse
OF Two or three months the old bark was
put up at public auction and sold to Cap
tam Q. Nicoini, the Italian consul here,
Tor $loo subsequently she was purchase ed
from Captain Ncolin by DR.. Blunt, acting
lor the State, for s2250. Dr. Blunt in
tended to use the Razeto in fumigating
vessels from infected ports.
How far the investigation has pro-
dressed II is difficult to tell Colonel John
LoVeJoy, who, under the direction OF the
governor, is assisting MIR. Jameson. says
there Is nothing for publication until the
report is made to the governor.
An l can say is this" said Colonel
Lovejoy, Captain Nicolini paid $3.50 for
the Razeto and the State paid s2250 to
Captain Nicolini FOR the vessel. The gov
ernor wants to know why this price was
paid"
1t is explained by one of Dr. Blunt's
friends that the bark was secured at as
low figure as possible. The bark was
more servlceable as a fumigating vessel
than any barge could be, as the bark is
nigh out of the water and barge Is low
decked. While the price seems high. 1t is
explained that it was the lowest figure at
which 1t could be secured

The county commissioners are thinking
