CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

Unless the Water Works Co. can be
induced to grant concessions on prices
of water, the streets may remain dusty
this summer. This was the possibility
put to the council Monday night when
it was said Schmidt and Weeman re.
fused to undertake sprinkling because
the Water Co. demands the full seasons g
price of $3.50 for furnishing water and
one month of the season has passed and
the contractors would derive no revenues
1t is said the Water Co. turned down an
offer of 5000 by the contractors and the
committee on fire and water was in
structed to make an effort to secure an
agreement between tie water company
and the contractors. Schmidt and Wee
man claim that if forced to pay $3.50 for
the balance of the season, they will de-
rive no profit, and refuse to sprinkle.
A report of the street committee re-
commended that the sprinkling be given
to Schmidt and Weeman because Of de-
lay in getting law passed to permit
the city to do the work but that the city
arrange to undertake the sprinkling
next year Aid. Plumb then stated the
facts and suggested that as the matter
was one of general public interest, the
council try to influence the Water Co
to grant concessions wanted by the con-
tractors and this will be done.
The proposition of the Gas Company
was submitted by the committee on gas.
After an hours discussion the matter
was laid over until the next meeting of
the council
Regulation of wine rooms through the
medium of an ordinance for enforce
ment of which the police will be held to
account, was a demand of the council
and the license committee was instruct
ed to report an ordinance for adoption
in the immediate future. A suggestion
that more caution be exercised in the
granting of saloon licenses will also be
needed and the city will seek to improve
conditions in the liquor taiiffic.

lake and river cities. The bill reads as
follows: That paragraph of section 1912
Of the statues designated is amended
to read The term Property of the rail
road company" as used in this act, shall

October first is here, and, so far
as The Herald knows. nothing has
been done as yet towards making
preparations for the midwinter fair,
which it has been expected and plan
ned to hold at Brownsvime next
January, if not earlier The value
of such an enterprise to Brownsville
and the whole valley is generally APP
preciated, but we do not seem to
appreciate the Importance of taking
hold of the matter in time The
fair last winter was decided sue
cess, yet all realized that it was got
ten up too hurriedly for the val
ley to do itself justice The prem
iums offered were all that one could
= have asked. The exhibits were ex-
ceIlent. The arrangements for con-
Quoting the fair, however, were nee
essarily incomplete, owing to the
hurried manner in which it was
done The exhibits were housed
comfortably. and. in fact. it was
wonderful to see how we'll they were
handled at such short nouce. Yet
all felt that much more might have
been done to make the exhibits Ell

Brownsville has an association.
which calls itself the Brownsville FAN
and Park Association, Il The Herald
is not mistaken The chief object Of
this association was to establish
park which might be used jointly
for fair ground and baseball and
racing park The baseball feature
has been carried out most faithfully.
Brownsville has been very liberal.
in fact. in its support of the base
ball team, which was advocated by
many because they thought it would
advertise Brownsville. ~ We did
our part towards the enterprise, and

er we obtained as much advertising
as the money might have bought if

ing or not
All will admit, however, that for .
advertising purposes a midwinter
