ExMAYOR PICKETT AGAIN
A Reply 10 Circular in Saturday S
Daily.

In said circular appears the fol-
lowin: "Bnt the reason that should
be sufficient in our Judgment to
cause the rejection of the proposed
issue Is the present financial condi-
ton of the city,
In Fridays Daily Light report of
the city council proceedings and in
reference to report of financial
committee appears the following:
"The report shows the financial
condition of the city to be excellent. +"
Which is true? Which will you
believe? Certainly the statements
are contradictory.
This circular is signed by Mr..
Buie, Mr.. Hudson and Mr.. Ownby,
all of the Light. Mr.. Ownby doubt
less wrote the report of the council
meeting.
Now then, the assessed valuation
of the city is about 81, zoe, 600 and a
levy of % cents on each 500 val
uation would raise $4,000. more
than enough to pay expense of as
sessihg and collecting any deiiu-
quents, and to pay interest and
sinking fund on the bonds. If your
rendition amounted to 500 1t would
cost you 21z cents yearly; il your
rendition was 500 your tax would be
l2ls cents yearly, If $1,000 then your
tax would be - cents yearly; 5000
then tax Of 1875 and so on. con-
slider that one. or two additional arc
lights on our street would be cheap
for this small outlay.
Respectfully.

SPRING AILMENTS.

There is an aching and tired feel
ing the liver, bowels and kidneys
become sluggish and inactive, the
digestion impaired, with little or no
appetite, no ambition for anything,
and a feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter, there
has been an accumulation Of waste
matter in the system. Herbine will
remove it, secure to the seeretions
a right exit, and its tonic effect,
fully restore wasted tissues and
give strength in place OF weakness.

Snap Shots on the Bond Issue.

The city has "a contract for lamps
at Sl.00 per month mot $3.50. This
price is less than other cities in
Texas.
1t Is a mistake 10 suppose that
the city can use the telephone poles
for it's electric wire, such Is not the
case. There are provisions To use
the telephone poles for fire alarms, 20
bat no more In fact the telephones
would not be serviceable with the
electric wires on the same poles
Business proposition; If you had
s. 600 in money would you under
take TO build an electric light plant9
Would 1t not be business to first
make a fan Investigation as TO the
ultimate cost, the likelihood ~ It's
paying, etc. What good business
man would spend s. 5000 without
first counting the cost?
What has become of that GROVE
that invested in an electric light
plant several years ago? They put
In over $50, 600, and in a few years
the stock was on the market at 90
cents on the dollar. They were
among our best business men.
What do they think of trying 90
start another plaRt on IS ,OO07
The waxah&hie Electric Light
CO. has poles/and lines all over the
city, its stockholders have fBve sted
their money in good faith. II the
city wants to go into the business
would il not be fair TO purchase the
present plant? Has the city ever
made any overture to buy out the
company? We understand not.
The city has contract with the
electric light plant, which does not
expire for three and half years.
Is il proposed To repudiare this con-
tract? Would IL not be good BUSH
ness sense 10 make haste slowly
before voting 5000 to do a thing
that will cost not less than $50, 900?
If the city is TO go into the bust
ness OF owning public utilities, why
not take In the street railway and
telephones? A sewer and water pipe
can run itself, but not so with an cleo
trio light plant. IL requires con-
slant attention and skilled work
men. Put it INTO city politics with
management changing every two
years and the result will be a bond
ed Indebtedness with no lights.
Better keep the lights we have
than fly TO darkness we know not Of
Before specializing with electric
light plants, would IT not be well TO
first make good streets, bridges, and
eauseways? Every citizen would get
the benefit of this. The bridge
across the creek by the Katy depot
is now nailed up for lack of funds
to repair it, The city has a limit on
public improvements. Every dollar
put In q light plant Is that much less
for streets, bridges, etc. We already
have lights, and new plant would
only reach q few at most. Why not
spend what money we can spare In a
way to benefit ail7 All must pay

In many continental European
communities it is considered bad
luck to praise the beauty of child.
The stranger does not win gratitude
but the reverse by saying: What
a pretty baby!" Even the most low
ing mother may under the circum-
stances respond by scowling and
calling the child brat. In Japan a
similar feeling survives in a rule Of
politeness. 1t is not seemly to refer
TO ones possessions or family in
terms complimentary. "My disgrace
fully squalid home" my stupid son"
are expressions more polite to native
than to foreign ears.-N. Y. World.
