COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES

The regular monthly meeting of the
club was not as largely attended as it
should have been. A large number
of the club members are in Galveston
and the hour of meeting may be too
early, yet those who missed the ad-
dresses of the mayor and aldermen
lost splendid opportunity of gaining
information upon the status of pro-
ceeding to secure water and sewer
for Bryan-something that is of i'm
portance to every taxpayer and bust
ness man.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Ed Hall, who was requested to
take the chair, the president and vice
president being absent. The finance
report showed:
Cash on hand last month .s 1915
Cash collected .............. 10500

The committee on Allen Academy
extension reported $500 raised and
balance in sight 1t expects to close
it's work before next meeting.
Other committees reported progress.
The committee on water, light and
sewer reported a meeting with the
council which is believed to have been
beneficial 1t is believed by the COM
mittee that the council is making
every effort to begin actual work on
installing a sewer, water and light sys'
TEN. Just now they are waiting to
learn the result of advertising for sale
of bonds on August 10 1t is expected
the bonds will be sold, when work will
begin at once.
Mayor Maloney addressed the club
at some length upon plans as outlined.
In substance he said: 1t is necessary
to eliminate the old plant by taking
it over at reasonable price, then eX'
tend and remodel it to an extent suf.
foent to furnish an adequate supply
of water for present needs Of Bryan,
and for its possible growth, for %
years. This should be done by pro-
viding sufficient storage for any con-
tingency The old distribution system
can be taken over for say $4,000 and
the city will save more than that
amount in four years, by actual
amounts necessary to pay the old COM
pany before its contract with the city
expires The plans contemplate ex-
tensions until every part of the city
is within the water and sewer dis
trict.
Alderman Burger outlined his views
practically as the mayor had done.
Alderman Henderson, said that at no
time had the members of the council
been as near together on plan for
working out the water, light and sew
er problem as it is today. I'VE have
had our differences; We have learned
where our own opinions while honest,
were wrong. and today we are practi-
cally a unit as to plans. We realize

London-The players in the game

The Laborites are holding a meet

probably will follow in the footsteps

Conservatives, who possibly will vote
for it In order to avert financial chaos

In office; that he was never elected
to the position. and that he is holding
on In the capacity Illegally, are among
the allegations made by DR.. Paul s.
Hunter in an action begun in the Dis
trict Court directed against Roady
kenehan as auditor Of state. to re-
strain that official from issuing any
voucher or proceeding in any other
manner to authorize payment to Can

the suit in the name Of the people OF
the state of Colorado and for himself
personally.
This Is the third attempt made to
oust Cannon from office. The state
board of medical examiners were first
appealed to to remove Cannon. The
board declined to take any action.
Governor Shafroth was next requested
to proceed in the matter and he re.
fused to do SO. The suit is the new
est procedure, and 1t is believed by
those back OF the action that the
stoppage of his salary will result in
Cannon relinquishing the office.

forth that the state board of health has
an executive committee from among
Its members. which committee appoint

committee when the appointment was
made. it is alleged. 1t is asserted that
there is no provision for the appoint
ment OF commissioner of the food
department" 1t is further asserted
that by virtue of this appointment,
Cannon has been acting unlawfully as
such commissioner and drawing sal
ary and allowed certain personal ex-
penses. all of which are said obe illegal.
That Cannon has no right to the title
OF pure food commissioner. or pure
food inspector, is also alleged.
The complaint further alleges that
Cannon has sent in his bills for sala-
ries and expenses and that the same
have been honored by Auditor Kene-
han as they have been presented. In
this connection it is averred that Can

Belgium Has no Navy.

Belgium is. perhaps the most pros
porous state in Europe, as we'll as the
most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance in wealth and social re-
form. One of the country's special ad-
vantages is that its international neu-
tralization permits 1t to dispense with
a navy, while the Belgian army Is
maintained on very small and in
expensive basis.
