FREDERiCKSBURG'S PROGRESS

FREDERICKSBURG'S PROGRESS
The excellent report of the FL
nance Committee presented to and
adopted by the City Council at. its
annual meeting Tuesday night
shows that the finances of the city
are in splendid condition and that
our credit is the very best.
After the payment of the indebt-
edness of every committee of the
Council, which in some cases exceed
ed their appropriations from abSo-
lutte necessity, and after providing
for other important matters that
came within the payments of this
year, we find healthy balance in
the hands of the treasurer of be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000.
This must be a matter of real pride
to the members of the Council and
highly satisfactory to the citizens of
Fredericksburg.
The Council as a body, in view Of
this report and the extensive inn
provements for the year, is justly
entitled to vote of thanks and con-
fidence of the public for their faith
full and successful labOrs, given with
out the hope of fee or reward other
than that of a consciousness of dele
gated duty faithfully performed.
The improvements made from
year to year may not have suited
everybody in every way, but this has
been the case in all cities and towns
where such work has been done.
Permanent Improvements must be
made by the public servants of any
city or town whose citizens have any
appreciation of beauty or order, and
who would hold out inducements to
people and manufacturers Of other
communities to settle among us and
become part of us.
The fact that other great improve
ments, private and public, in addi-
ton to those made by the Council
during the year arc now in course Of
construction has rejOiced the heart !
of the citizen, invited public atten-
ton to the spirit of improvement in
the town, and has satisfied the public
that Fredericksburg is by no means
EnlSneu tOWH.
The improvements of the R., F. & !
P. r. r. are both useful and highly
necessary for the travelling public.
The passenger depot will be commo-
dious and convenient, the freight de-
pot meets all demands, and the next
improvement will be overhead
trains, that our crowded streets may
not be blocked with the 80 or more
daily trains. This necessity shows
the immense and rapidly increasing
business of the road as well as of the
town.
Our $4,000 school building, the
pride of Fredericksburg, the nearly
completed postoffice building by the
government, the widespreading and
up-to-date normal school few hun
dred yards from town, which
will adorn our western hills
and keep vigil over the busy
town, are all improvements Of
urgent necessity and of the high
est order, and will proclaim Freder-
icksburg one of the most prosperous
cities in the State.
In view of these splendid achieve
ments, what is the lesson of the
hour? This, that all citizens, all
taxpayers and public spirited men,
cooperate in everything that looks
to the good of the town or the better
ment of the people, until we reach
the very highest efficiency possible
in these directions.

FINED FOR RAISING FIRE RATES
Underwriters Found Guilty of Retaliat-
ing for Increased Rates in Newport
News.

President Dan B. Harris, General
Manager A. y. Andrews, and q mem
bers of the Southeastern Underwriters
Association were convicted at Newport
News Wednesday in magistrate s court
Of unlawfully conspiring TO control in
surance rates in that city, and were
fined $500 each.
The case is the outgrowth Of the asso-
cations act in arbitrarily raising fire
insurance rates 10 per cent TO meet a
license tax increases of 3l-2 per cent,
levied by city council. The court held
that the increase in rates were retalia-
tory and demonstrated the power Of the
association to penalize any city in the
State if the tax was considered too
heavy.
The cases will come up on appeal in
the corporation court next September.

Was Exhibited at Chicago
Land Show and Is Worth
Displaying.

Stuck away behind displays Of
canned goods, roasted coffees and up
per valley wheat displays in the main
lobby OF the chamber of commerce
building is a relief map of the Rio
Grande project from lake B. M. Hall,
above the Elephant Butte dam, to the
end OF the lower valley. This map,
which was exhibited at the Chicago
land show last year, shows all of the
details of the entire project and
should prove Of much value in showing
homeseekers and prospective land
buyers the exact construction of the
surrounding country and the lay of the
land in the upper and lower valleys
The railroads are shown in relief on
the map, the irrigated sections are des-
ignated as are the mesa lands and the
locations Of the towns along the river.
The mountains are shown in relief and
are named. FL Paso is shown as the
center of the entire section and every
thing pertaining to the lower Rio
Grande which is included under the Ell
ephant Butte dam is indicated on the
big map.

Advertising, education and insplra-
ton This is the three-fold purpose OF
the modern fair.
To advertise the resources of the
surrounding section is one of the prime
purposes of a fair that fulfils its real
mission The education of the people
Of the section that they may learn
better how to cultivate the soil, harvest
and care for their crops, is the second
and one of the most important func-
lions of a fair But to inspire the peo-
pie. to impress them with what they
themselves have done, is the highest
purpose of such a community exhibit
of community interests In this w2y
they are moved to better things and
progress, the goal Of all endeavor, is
the ultimate result
The county, state or sectional fair
is no longer clap trap affair of tinsel
and gaudy colors. as was its forerun-
ner, the old fashioned county fair.
Neither is it a street carnival where
cheap amusementS run riot. The best
of the old county fair and a part of the
clean amusement features Of the carni-
val have been retained in the modern

turers. machinery and the other depart
ments which compose a well balanced
fair.
Wholesome amusement and enter
tainment for all will be prepared as
one of the diversions from the more Sc
rious departments and displays. But
the real fun for those who attend the
exposition will be in comparing their
products with their neighbors, in
learning how to make more rows of
corn grow on the ear, in comparing
mineral specimens, or studying the
mechanism of a new ditch digger or
pumping plant. It will be great, out

SUGGESTS METAL

It Could Be Installed With

An art metal fountain for the center
Of San Jacinto plaza, to replace the
monument to the alligator's laziness,
is the suggestion Of II. B. Stevens.
Such a fountain, with artistic light
hangers for the plaza arcs and also a
fountain in the center could be INSTALL
ed in the center Of the alligator pool
without disturbing these pioneer citi-
zens' rest or quiet. The funds for
placing the fountain in the plaza could
be raised by public subscription and by
giving entertainments, Mr.. Stevens
thinks.
Another suggestion is that a beauti-
full fountain TO have water flowing over
it perpetually would be q most fitting
monument to mayor ". F. Robinson
and fireman Todd Ware, who lost their
lives in the Buckler building fire.

To PUSH PROJECT OF
|NTERCOAST CANAL
Beaumont Waterways Con
vention Will Urge Con
gress to Act Promptly.

Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 15.-The con-
vention of the Interstate Inland Wat
erway association, which will meet in
this city during October 2O-21. will con-
slider a plan, formulated at a recent
meeting of its executive committee in
Houston, to adopt well defined cam
paign to induce congress to provide in
one measure for the completion of the
micronesia canal from New Orleans to
Brownsville The committee will also
recommend that the organization ask
congress to specify depth of nine feet
by 100 in width.
The primary object OF the Interstate
Inland Waterway association is to pro-
mote interest and actively advocate this
canal which will connect the MISSISSIPPI
pi river and the Rio Grande. That the
associations efforts have borne fruit
is evidenced by the fact that several
miles of this canal are already COM
pleted and in use.
Sabine-Naches 40 be Link.
The Sabine-Neches canal will form
a link in the proposed undertaking,
and its completion will enable opera
tors in the Beaumont lumber and ore
industries to transport their commo-
dities to ready market in Pennsylvania
and the far northwest; importing on
the return voyage coal from the east
ern coal fields.
In the past representatives from the
association at congress have received
every consideration and it is believed
that the facts and figures which will
be produced, showing the encourag-
ing returns from the completed mile
age through Louisiana, will induce
the congressional body to legislate fav-
orably towards this project.
