TEXAS CITY BARELY
ESCAPES ANOTHER
TYPHOON HORROR
Huge Waves Are Breaking Over the
Barrier and Eight Feet of Water in
Some Streets Is Reported, But So Far
There Is No Certain Loss of Life.

HOUSTON, Tex, July 2l.-Huge waves driven
before 60-mle gale today swept the
wall at Galveston, Texas, inundating many streets
and causing immense property damage but the break
water wthstood the terrible pounding and probably
saved the city from fate similar to that which befell
it September 8, 1900, when il totally destroyed
by terrible flood which cost thousands Of lives.
The only means of communication with Calves
ton this afternoon is one telephone wire which is
working intermtently and exact conditions OF the
flooded city are impossible to ascertain. No lives
have been reported lost as yet, but as number of
small craft in the harbor are known to have been
wrecked by the gale il is probable that their did
not escape.

in it's own hands, rather than award a franchise to T. H. Friel and associates of North Birmingham. The resolution referred to advocates the expenditure of $5o00 in making an investigation of the several propositions that have been made or suggested To this resolution there are opponents, and it will never pass the board, in spite of the recommendation of the water committee, without strenuous fight
 The aldermen express themselves as be- Ing aware of the need of an abundant and cheap supply of water, but there Is a spirit of hesitancy until every proposi- ton is made plain. They do not care to award a valuable franchise or even to spend S5000 of the peoples money with out knowing what they are doing. While the indication Is strong that some action will be taken in the near future, 1t Is equally as plain that the aldermen will know where they are going to land be- fore they leap.
 Then, too the suggestion of Mayor Ward that the city acquire the property of the Birmingham waterworks and do- velop from that nucleus has many friends.

WATER AND SEWERS
 MAKE LIVE TOPICS
KENDRICk IS EXPECTED ANY DAY AND UPON HIS ARRIVAL MAT TER OF AWARDING SEWER CON- TRACT WILL COME UP.

While the problem of awarding the con tract for the citys printing has been settled definitely, there are other matters pending which will demand the closest attention of the city fathers.
 At the present time the water problem and the sewer problem are in the lime light both of which matters will have to be acted on prior to or at the next meeting of the council.
 s-uite recently the idea of securing a commission to handle both--a commission to consist of business men of Birming- ham who shall not be remunerated-has policy while they may not be determined as concerning the matter of the sewer contract, will agitate the matter in tan gible form in reference to the water ques- ton.
 The council at it's next meeting will no doubt confirm a recommendation of the street committee that the contract for the construction of one-half of the south side sewer system be awarded. Several bids have already been received for this work. Consulting Engineer Julian Ken drick is expected in the city any day, and as soon as he arrives, this matter will become the live topic. It is general ly believed that the city will follow the usual custom of awarding the contract for this s30o,o00 pob to the lowest of sev eral bidders, although the plan of form ing a commission to oversee same, the plan to award the contract on the per centage basis, and the plan to let the city do the work itself, all have advocates among the aldermen.
 MT. Kendrick has stated that the bids formerly received all of which were re- iected, were probably as low as will be received for the second consideration, and the belief is general that the work will be done at figures little If any less than those originally submitted.
 In reference to the water question the council by a resolution that is now in committee, is planning to take the matter

it will be much less dusty than a mac adam road The cost of the roads to be constructed under the direction of the road committee is to be divided among the state, the county and the various municipalities.
 The road will be constructed much in the same way that ordinary macadam road Is made, but liquid asphalt will be used as a binder instead of fine stone screenings, as are generally used. NIT. Owen says liquid asphalt has been used as a binder in connection with patented road formulas and he thinks the surface will last longer under the tires of auto mobiles than an ordinary macadam sur face. He says the cost will be about IA cents a square yerd more than macadam surface He described the process of making the road as follows:

To Birmingham, every effort toward re- ducing the road wear of automobiles IS more than interesting. Tho local board has discovered that the roads of the coun- ty are suffering more from the auto mobiles than any other form of traffic, and the number of machines is increasing every week. An experiment, chronicled by the New York Sun, will be closely watched, especially since the tar cap macadam tried on the Ensley boulevard seems to be a failure The Sun says:
 The road committee of the Essex county board of freeholders has decided to ex- pertinent with a new method of road con- struotion according to a formula prepared by County Engineer James Owen. The road selected for the experiment IS 2 stretch of little more than mile on Mount Pleasant avenue in West Orange, the steady traffic of automobiles but that
