FOR A MAIN STREET BRIDGE.
THE PROPERTY OWNERS DISCUSS
BRIDGE FOOT or MAIN.
II city IN to RuiId Either mt Main or
Travis They VIII Try and Sc
cure u for Main street.

There was meeting yesterday alter
noon at the Cotton Exchange of ci..zens
owning property Mt the lower eni OF Man
street to discuss the question Of the build
ing OF bridge over Buffa.o bayou at the
foot Of Main street, a matter now under
consideration by the city.
Among those present were Messrs. A. l..
Nelms, ]. E. McAshan, w. II. Palmer.
l.. N. Rich. George l.. Porter, Henry s.
Fox. s. L. Goldman. George A. CLARK and
H. T. D. Wilson.
Mr.. Nelms stated the object OF the
meeting was to discuss the feasibility OF
building bridge across Buf1aio bayou
at the foot OF Main street,
On motion Mr.. j. L. McAehan was
elected chairman.
Mr.. helms said he regarded the matter
as a very important one. He thought
the bridge should be built and referred to
the fact that the city council had already
taken action 10 the matter and appoin ell
committee OF aldermen to consider
which was the more feasible, the building
Of a bridge at Main or Que at Travis, and
for which project the most money could
be raised.
Mr. George L. Porter said he hal no
properly on Main street, but that he rep
iesen,ed nonresident owners. He re-
garded the building of bridge o. Main
street as being entlre.y imp Il lie AMI
entirely too expensive an unde.ta ing.
1t would block up the only place on the
bay ou where large boats can turn. the

be an obstruction to the propo htlon COW
on foot 10 improve Buffalo bayou. The
money that such brids w5u cost could
be better expended in paving tn steets.
He said that the report of the eng neers
contemplated that the new head OF the
proposed channel would be at the mouth
Of White Oak.
Mr. II. T. D. Wilson did not favor the
construction OF the bridge, tn ugh NJ did
not be leve that It was contemplated to
bring the ship channel UP TO Main street.
Mr.. Palmer said that 1t was likely that
the city council would determine to put
bridge either at one Place o. the her
and the question for this meeting to de-
termine was not whether the bridge
should be built, tut whether they would
prefer to havr the bridge, If bull at
Main or Trsds. He favored the Main
street proposition.
Mr.. Rich favored the bridge being put
at the Main street.
Chairman McAshan held that this meet
Ing had nothing to do with determ ming
up7n the building OF a bridge; that was
purely the province of the council; all
that this meeting could do would he 70
urge Main streat as the more desirable
| location for the bridge as between Man
and Travis street.
a motion prevailed that n committee be
appointed to co1fer with the council COM
mittee upon the subject and ascertain
what inducements the Main stree. prop
erty owners ware able to offer to secure
the bridge for Main street and b. pre-
pared to submit report to subsequent
