NOW Rus1NEss nuILp1No.

The proposition to put up a modern
thirteen story sky scraper on the property
recently purchased from the Chamber of
Commerce has gradually simmered down
until it has now been definitely determined
that a five story affair it about the right
size Architect Stowe has the plans about
ready and the bids for the construction
will be opened and the contract awarded
in about week or ten days. Contractor
Taylor, who built the new Galveston coun-
ty court house, came in last night from
Colorado and 1t is said he will be a>hd-
der for the job. The building will be
modern and as near fire proof as 1t can
be made but it will not be thirteen sto-
res high. That much is sure, and an
other surety is that instead of costing
$150,00O the outlay will be nearer 100000
But it will be fine building just the
same.

FEW VISITORS.

The story that Galveston would be a
dry town today, which was published In
The Post of Saturday, had pretty eviden
effect on those who usually come down to
the sea to spend the Sabbath AS soon as
the thing got out that that was the order
there was mighty fuss raised here and
the result was that the order was called
off. But the work of proclaiming the
change OF heart came too late to persuade
the morning crowds to chance it and as
a result there is dearth of strangers here
today.
IF this is fair sample OF what threat
will do said keeper of wet goods
store today, what would result If we were
shut up sure enough? Why the town would
blow away on Sunday"
The afternoon trains were little bet
ter patronized, but on the whole this is
the dullest Sunday of the season.

COUNCIL MEETING.

The council meets in regular session to.
morrow afternoon. There is nothing very
important on the docket in the way of reg
ular business except the paving matter.
No one appears to know what the solons
will do with the recommendation of the
board of public works to send committee
to look into the paving experiments of
other towns. but the chances are TIT II
a committee goes It will have an alder.
man or two in it. The ordinance creating
the new corporation court will be passed
and there is some chance for the selec-
ton of a clerk of the court, but only a
chance. The old arguments over the Sc
lection of city officers will likely come
up, however, for the delectation of the
patriots who attend the weekly shows of
the solons.
