A special meeting of the city coun
ell was called for o'clock yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of discuss
ing the sewerage question, the bond
issue and other matters relating tC
sewerage and waterworks, and also
the matter of trash on the streets.
Parties on Bryan street petitioned
the council to rescind its order pro
hibiting the use OF the gutter on that
street for sewage and in view OF the
fact that the installation of a sewer.
age system will begin at an early date
the council granted permission TO use
same.
A motion was made and carried or
dering the finance committee. with
the mayor added, to sell at once the
$4,000 water, light and sewerage
bonds to the best advantage possible.
A motion carried declining the prop
osition Of Mr. Nagle in regard to
sewerage.
A motion was made and carried
that provided for the employment of
Mr. A. b. Carson as city engineer. The
motion provided for his employment
for one year, or longer if necessary,
II suitable contracts could be made
with Mr.. Carson, and his references
were satisfactory.
An ordinance in regard to the trash
on the streets was passed. and fol-
lowing is the act in full:
Re IL ordained by the city council
of the city of Bryan, That any and
every person living or conducting or
managing any business within the fire
limits of the city of Bryan, be and
are hereby prohibited from depositing.
sweeping or allowing the sweeping or
depositing OF any trash. paper or re.
fuse matter of any kind on the streets.
sidewalks or alleys of the city of
Bryan. Any person violating the
above ordinance, on conviction. shall
be fined any sum not to exceed $40.
This shall become effective from and
after its passage and publication"
The action OF the council in regard
to the sewerage is of such a nature as
to make the installation of sewer
age system at an early date not only
possible, but also very probable In
discussing the matter with Mayor
Maloney, he stated to an Eagle re-
porter that he thought The matter
would be pushed to completion, and
that as soon as details could be ar
ranged action would be taken by the
council at once in regard 10 begin
ming work on the system. The EN-
ployment of a city engineer would be
advantageous at this time, for this
reason; In the building of the sewer
age system one of the necessary cost
items is 10 per cent for the engineer
In connection with the sewerage ques-
tion the waterworks proposition will
also be settled. and the engineers
commission in both of these is more
than enough to pay the city engineers
salary for one year, and the employ
ment of a man for such an office
would be no burden to the city, and
the running of grades for streets and
would be among his duties
and would be no additional cost to
the city.
The Eagle advocates, as it has al
ways done, the building and Install
ing of sewerage system The ques-
ton seems to be almost solved and
the action of the council and the
mayor is indeed fitting. A permanent
is within our grasp and
every effort should be made to hold it

Condition of our little city. The Bryan

aldermen. Why should we be rebuked
for not doing what the officers OF our
city have been paid 20 do, and yet
failed TO accomplish? This is a mighty
work that you would thrust upon the
Bryan women, equal to Hercules

What has become of the water, light

RED TAPE DIVIDES FAMILY
Father Sails for Old Home. While
Daughter Weeps On Pier.

Official red tape divided a family Of
two at the White Star Line pier yester-
day. John Celeman, sixty-five years old
of Los Angeles, and his daughter Mar
garet eighteen years old, had bought
tickets in the steerage to visit Coleman s
old home in Ireland which he hadn
seen since boyllood and she had only
heard about.
Thinking the girl had already boarded
the vessel Coleman had the tickets
approved and entered the steerage.
When Miss Coleman had finished bidding
goodby TO a dozen friends, she tried to
pass up the steerage gangway, but the
agent refused to admit her without a
ticket. Although the situation was ex-
planned to an officer of the line, the weep
ing girl was not allowed To board, and
soon the Baltic pulled out into Inc
stream Later officials got in touch with
the ship by wireless and told the father
that they would send his daughter
abroad on the very next beat
