STREET CLEANING
What Was Received and Spent on
Brick Streets Last Year

Some of the merchants and busi-
ness men who have subscribed to
help keep the streets clean have been
heard to complain about what Engin
ecr White does with the money col
lccted for cleaning the paved streets.
BY some it is claimed that the bust
ness men on the paved streets pay for
the cleaning, still persons who work
out city court fines are worked at
cleaning the paved streets. In JUS
lice to Mr.. White and to all parties
concerned, the Graphic has looked
into the matter For the past week
the streets We're cleaned three times.
The employees are paid S per day, and
the expenditures for the week were as
follows:
Shovel 80 cents. horse collar G5
cents; labor-Wesley Williams S.. so,
Horace Rrownfield $3.50, Will Collins
$3.50, Chas. Grier $3.5o, Chas. Rich
ardson $3.50. N. Robinson $3.50;
horse hire four days at 25 cents a day,
81. Mr.. White worked four prison
ers on the paved streets this week
in addition to the hired help. The to-
tai expenditures We're $3.50.
The collections were as follows:
Bailey Drug company Is cents, w. S.
Baird 25 cents, II. S. Williams 25

Mr.. Futrell was of the opinion that
me resolution ought to be a joint
one.
Mr.. Kerwin said he was as ready
TO vote now as he would be on Mon
day. He believed in the honor and
integrity of the committee on ways
and means. While the honor of the
governor was at stake, so was the
honor OF the members of the peniten-
tiary board. 1t was due to both sides
that an investigation be made. He
could not see where delay would
cause any members to change their
minds. He hoped the investigation
would be the cause of removing any
odium or stain upon the fair name
OF Arkansas.
The motion to postpone until Mon
day was lost on a viva voce vote.
The roll was then called on the res
clution and it was adopted-ayes 67,
noes IA. There were many explana-
tions OF votes offered.
A motion by Mr.. Cate to adjourn
until Saturday morning was lost.
Mr. Tonev moved to reconsider the
vote by which the resolution was
eiopted and to lay that motion on the
table Carried.
The house then adjourned until 8

Railroads Needed to
Bring Other Enterprises

Pine Bluff is now in the era of its
existence when corporations, mills,
wholesale and manufacturing enter
prises must be fostered in order to
acquire the growth that the citizens all
are looking for. The city is just on the
verge of beginning Improvements for
the comforts and healthfulness of its
citizens. The new sewer system and
the move to permanently improve the
streets are absolutely requisite and
are the prime factors in inducing new
comers.
The whole of the state of Arkan-
sas is in an undeveloped state, and
the unopened lands are being reached
gradually by railroads which are the
backbone of the success of any com
munity. Pine Bluff must have some
more railroads and there must not
be much more time spent in delay.
Col. FOrdyce who was quoted in the
I4ltClC IloGh pdpcIo iIIt OLutl udy do
being in the railroad business is
good man to get in touch with. He
acknowledged that he was building
short lines for the Frisco or was going
to promote such lines. Pine Bluff
should not miss any opportunity, but
should at once begin an active cam
paign to secure another road at once.
The Iron Mountain and the Cotton
Belt are excellent feeders for Pine
Bluff and if road could be promoted
to connect with the Choctaw at 10
noke or DeValls Bluff to enter the
city, Pine Bluff would have another
great competing railroad. The Frisco
is the next road to be brought to this
city. Railroads nova days must be
wooed and married, and much love
making and much money bring them
where they are wanted. Little Rock
is fighting hard for railroads. There is
continually a pipe dream in the capit-
al papers as to how the different pros,
pective roads are running and they
are always made to pass through Lit
tie Rock on double run. Much OF
the railroad matter in the papers OF

Attorney General Murphy's demand,
made in his speech at Little Rock
thursday night, that if certain things
were true he should be impeached,
and if not true, Gov. Davis should be
impeached, has resulted in quick ac-
ton on the part of the legislature.
On Friday the house, by vote OF "a
to II. adopted resolution authorizing
the committee on ways and means to
inquire into the allegations and ac
cusations made by both sides of the
controversy between Gov. Davis, on
one side, and the majority members
of the state penitentiary board on the
other. The resolution recites that the
controversy has reached a stage de-
manding proper investigation. BY the
resolution the committee is invested
with full and complete authority to
take testimony and to report to the
house
An interesting debate preceded the
abortion of the resolution. Represen-
tative Pindall had offered a resolution
PRO, iding for an investigation at the
hands of a special committee of FIVE
,nerlt ers This was tabled by vote
Of A. to A. A short time later Judge
Merriman offered the same resolution,
with the exception that the investiga-

that city is purely fiction. Little
Rock, feeling as it does the strong op-
pOnent it has in Pine Bluff and so near
the capital city, that it tries to over
shadow Pine Bluff with loud talking
and vain boasting. The people, how
ever. have never attempted, to any ex-
tent, to secure railroads, but the time
has come when the city must go to
work in earnest along the line of get
ting more railroads. 1t must also
have large industries and in order to
get them the railroad facilities OF tho
city must be increased. Get the Frisco
to Pine Bluff and then the city would
would have the three great systems
of the southwest, which would insurs
the lowest obtainabe freight rates to
the outside world.
The North Pine Bluff Land COM
pany seems to be on a warm trail along
the lines herein presented and should
have the hearty support of the citizens
and business men. Why can't the
commercial league take hold of this
matter and work in harmony with the
instigators Of the movement? What
is most needed is leader. There are
hundreds OF representative businesa
men that are anxious to help ON 4

industries, industries bring capital and
capital builds city.
