Mayor Holt has improved the administration of af
fairs in the city of Houston IN so many particulars
since his term of office began that It may seem invid
ions tosmake suggestion to him to do additional
tnpg when he Is already doing much But as Hous.
tom is manufacturing city, with bright hope for the
future in this line OF industry and tho reform sug.
gested manufacturing. The Post ventures to
call 1t to the attention Of the mayor of Houston who
has shown how much he has at heart everything which
concerns the prosperity of the city.
The suggestion concerns boiler inspection and the
city boiler inspector There can be question about
the necessity OF boiler inspection and of the require
ment sof boiler inspection by law But many OF our
manufacturers have their boilers inspected by insur
ance companies who guarantee to them the safety OF
the boilers after such inspection and pay all damage

of inspection from such company is all that is re-
qured by law. This is the in Boston San Fran

Today in Houston the city boiler inspector nspecs all
boilers even those already inspected with certificate
of warranty. and In these the manufacturer has
TO pay fee and lose time and money without or

because the prudent manufacturer wants insurance and

TAMPERING WITH TPTEr q
BY J. NJ. LEWIS.

DAWN AT sEABRooK.
Low-lying banks
OF snowy mist
Swift break their ranks
And blossoms kissed
BY evry breeze
Throughout the night
Now dot the Ieas
And flash light
From dewy gems
And petals fair
And swaying stems
Wait through the air
A last farewell
To midnight gloom
Wrought with a spell
vi rare perfume.
And cattle chew
Reflective cud
Knee deep in dew;
Or, in the food
Stand belly deep
And look away
Where ripples creep
Across the bay:
and where the morn's
First glory pale
Softly adorns
distant sail
Some hsher's ta'en
His early way 44
To sweep seine
Across the bay.
The chanticleer
With swelling throat
Hath his clear
Compelling note
Sweet, shril and high,
To the world
That Night doth fly
With banners furled:
And finely drawn
niatin bell
Doth greet the dawn
And softly tell
That, dark or bright
Where man doth trod
Both day and night
Belong to God.
