REGARDING STREET IMPROVEMENTS

Mr.. J. Z. league of Caldwell paid
The Eagle Office a visit yesterday
to shake hands with the senior
editor Of The Eagle, renewing an
old acquaintance, interrupted by
the lapse Of the little matter of
twenty-five years since they we're
boyhood friends together.
Mr.. league Is street commits
sioner Of Caldwell, and remarked
that while Bryan seemed to be all
right in many respects, and looks
very prosperous, yet Caldwell is
ahead Of us in the matter Of good
streets throughout the city. They
keep the town absolutely clean, he
Gays, and allow no weeds to grow.
The council has the weeds cut
by the city force twice a year, and
require the citizens 10 keep them
cut on their own property the rest
Of the time. He says the city
council tell him to do the business,
back him up in it, and he does the
rest, with the result that they have
a clean, sanitary and nice looking
town. Not only so, but the city
authorized him to fix all street
crossings with piping TO carry OIL
surplus water, and there were no
mudholes during the worst part Of
the recent rainy season, when some
of the streets Of Bryan were in
such bad condition.
