The fact that the city water and
light plant. instead OF being a pay
Ing investment. appears TO run be-
hind. Is puzzling and distressing to
our citizens. Some have ever gone
50 far a. 10 question whether Il
might be wiser for the city to sell
the plant.
Just why the facts arc 10. The
Herald would not undertake 10 say,
without a thorough Investigation OF
the income and expenditures OF the
water and light department and Of
conditions In general at the plant.
including the methods Of conduct
ing II as compared with the same
features OF similar plants elsewhere.
II Is understood. however. that
conditions are gradually improving.
and the water and light committee.
which has been Investigating the
matter for some time. thinks II now
sees daylight ahead. With the in
stallation OF light and water meters.
by which if honest and impartial
reading i practiced, all consumers
will pay for Just what water and
electric current they use. the plant
should soon be benefited financi-
ally. n. In addition to this inn
provement. the department il man
aged along the most economical
lines otherwise. there appears nc
reason why this plant should not
soon be paying sufficient to relieve
the taxpayers OF al least a part OF
the burden now imposed upon them
to provide the interest and sinking
fund for the debt on the plant.
When we read OF municipality own
ed water and Eight plants elsewhere,
not ony paying off the debts incur
red in their contradiction besides
furnishing their respective cities
with lights and water. for all public
purposes. and paying handsome re.
turns over and above all expenses. II
il difficult to understand why
Brownsville's plant should not Dc
likewise.

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY
TO ATTRACT VISITORS
no rhe Herald:

ITO The Herald:
Many Of the counties In Texas are
lnaugurating good roads movements
and IL would be we'll II something
OF the sort could be inaugurated In
Cameron county also.
Brownsville is going TO have a
tourist hotel and there Is nothing so
attractive I'm retaining tourists In a
particular dis ct as good roads for
automobiles to the various places OF
interest. Good roads are something
we lack-especially after rains In the
winter tourist season.
The pleasure features Is only one
side OF the necessity for goods roads.
The benefits ACQUIRING 10 the former
are by far the greatest factors in the
necessity for their being.
II Is true that Cameron county.
is not blessed with good road-making
material near at hand. but the cost
and difficulties Of procuring II are
not unsnrmountable.
Sam Fordyce furnishes a gravel
that Is admirable for road dressing
as II contains sufficient lime for a
good blnder-and although the first
cost would be considerable II would
be greatly offset in the long run by
the reduced cost Of maintenance.
Today. II the -oads are muddy and
sticky. IL Is impossible for the farm
er TO haul a load. and road travel II
bad weather II almost an impossibilI-
'ty. except n horseback; whereas.
with good gravel main roads. all this
would be changed. and bad weather
would but little increase the difficult
ties OF travel and IN good weather
the loads hauled would be materially
increased for teams.
Texas counties are permitted to Is
sue bonds for the building or good
roads-so that the cost OF construc-
ton Is extended over many years.
and the annual road tax Is extremely
small compared to the benefits ac-
cruing. The shell roads In the east
ern part of the state are examples OF
good road building where in most
cases the material has been brought
from distances as far removed as are
the gravel hanks from Cameron coun-
~.

Raw Water Causes Sudden Epidemic
of Typhoid.

Philadelphia. Pa.-The following
facts have been called to the atten-
ton OF Mayor Blankenburg by the
Bureau OF Municipal Research: Raw
water turned into the city mains
supplying four wards for ten adys
caused more Eases OF typhoid fever
IN those wards than were recorded
for the entire year on 1910. The
filtered water supply was cut off be-
cause the main supply pipe at the
Roxborough reservoir burst and ex-
hausted the reserve In the clear
water basin. From December rs to
January 10 there were reported 291
new cases OF typhoid fever from the
Est. 22d. 3Sth and 42d wards. COM
pared with 1S6 cases In the same
wards in the entire year 1910. The
death rate. however. was low There
were IA deaths from typhoid fever
In the same wards An that period.
compared with "a deaths in the
whole year OF 1910.

u FRISCO SHOULD BUILD IT.

As interesting to learn that the
AernatIonal and Great Northern
Abroad Company contemplates the
obstruction OF an extension from
Laredo TO Rio Grande City. II built
this will leave a gap OF not over
twelve miles on the river front be-
tween Brownsville and Laredo to be
covered by rails in order to complete
the long talked-of Picket Line Rail-
road. That this gap will 0 be
c5sered BY either the !. & G. n. or
the 81. T.. p a NJ. railroad cannot
be doubted.
II Is to be hoped the project may
not be delayed In realization The
construction Of a direct line up the
Valley to Laredo viii furnish a very
strong additionel argument in favor
OF deep water af>PrazOs Santiago.
Tho Herald feelA however, that
the Frisco should ba the line to
build this important link in the
PICKET Line. with It's control OF
that splendid water front at Point
Isabel, hnd a lire straight up this
valley, the Frisco would hold the
KEY to 4ne Of the most commanding
commercial situations in all Texas.
