To the Editor Of The Post.
| Austin. Texas, January 27.-I have re-
ceived urgent appeals from citizens OF
Houston to take steps to secure some re-
lief against the hardshlps following upon
the enforcement of writs of possession
based on foreclosure proceedings for taxes
l have prepared bill having for its pur-
| pose the staying of such writs for twelve
| months. hope to be home Saturday night
and would like to meet on Monday morning
Mt 10 o'clock in the council chamber as
many citizens Of Houston as will come. for
the purpose of discussing this and other
questions of public Importance in which my
constituents are interested.
Before leaving home was asked to favor
such measures as Will operate to divorce
utterly and finally our city school govern
inent from politics and such movement
VIII have, OF course. my hearty support. As
is well known, my personal opinion is that
the entire city government should be d.
Horced from politics, and that no city off,
Ger should be elected except the mayor and
board OF aldermen. and that all the rest
should be appointed by the mayor and con-
hrmed by the council. except the chief of
police. who should not be required to be
confirmed. but should be the personal APP
pointment OF the mayor. and II he does not
enforce the law let the may remove him,
and II the mayor does not enforce the law
then remove him. The mayor should be the
head OF the city government in fact and
not only in theory. Division OF RESPONSE
billy Inevitably produces inefiiciency and
neglect say these are my personal Views,
which OF course | will subordinate to the
clearly expressed contrary view OF a ma
jority of my constituents, as / feel that
upon matters of detail should yield TO
their desires,
desire TO be fully advised as far as pos
sible as to the wishes OF my constituents
hence would be glad TO confer with as
many of them as possible as above sug-
gested. desire to add that II any charter
amendments or other legislation of interest

Ing and made complaint concerning the
drainage OF the brick pavement on Main
street beyond the Auditorium. He states
that during the recent rain the pavement
for several blocks from curb to curb was a
solid sheet of water and not a brick could
DO seen anywhere. He noticed men with
improvised stills walking through the
water as the only means OF navigation
without getting wet In his opinion the
enlargement Of the Elgin street ditch or
some other system of drainage should be
resorted to that this vast accumulation of
water could be drained off in the event of
heavy rains.
