Committee on State Proposition for the
" Building Of Public Roads Reports.
Recommends Special Tax of Three and
I One-Half Mills for Road BuildinQ.

/ tax to meet this expenditure OF three
and One-half mills, which would give
fus, on the present assessment Of sis
million dollars, $4,000 in the t>.n
years.
We can safely figure on the State
allOting to our parish at least $25,.
900, making q total of $235.O09. tc
cover an expenditure OF s1a1 ,251,
leaving a good margin for The main
tanning and building OF other roads.
For your information will say that
when the State allots any amount.
to any parish, that all OF the work
Is under their supervision, and the
State further stands half the expense
of maintaining such roads. as were
built under their supervision. They
also take charge of such work SO you
can see that under such sysem in

AUSTIN BROOM FACTORY.

Few of our readers realize how inn
portant an industry to this city our
broom factory is. 1t employs ten
hands steadily and is turning out
about IFS dozen brooms weekly.
This will increase to 200 dozen week.
ly Just.as soon as the help can be OBJ
tanned. An addition to the building
has recently been put on which gives
them a two-story building 5ox35 feet.
1t is located at 3o7 east Oakland av-
enue, adjoining the Great Western
tracks. This industry was started
here last November by w. A. Muir
ray of Austin and J. w: McKeehan
OF Tennessee and the business ex-
ceeds expectations. The company
has two warehouses besides the fac
tory. The broom material comes
from Oklahoma in large bales. 1t is
dipped in dye solution and bleached.
1t is then sorted by hand, eight diff
terent grades being separated. These
are seeded and trimmed. and combed
until they are ready to be put on the
handles. This is an interesting pro-
cess, machines sewing and wiring the
broom so that it is strong and dur
able. The demand for the Austin
brooms is larger than the supply lat
present. A visit to the Austin fac
tory will be of interest to anyone,
we are certain. 1t is such industries
that build up town substantially.

WHAT THE AUSTIN BOARD OF
EDUCATION SHOULD DO.

The partizans of Supt. Geo. A.
Franklin who has recently resigned
hav re- now set up the demand that il
Franklin goes then all those teachers
with whom Franklin disagreed must
go also. The question Of right or
WRONG does not seem to enter at all.
1t seems to be matter of getting
even. It is cowardly and unfair
method of trying to settle matters
here. The cause of the disturbances
has been removed and there is no
need of any other changes in our
teaching force. Miss Gill should be
unanimously reelected principal We
never had better one and it will be
difficult to find another as good. The
Porten brothers have been reelected
for the coming year and are now
qualified by the state department so
they will remain. The other teachers
who have been so efficient should al
so be reinstated so far as their va
cancies are not yet filled. This is no
matter of one side getting even or
getting revenge 1t is matter of
justice to the patrons of our schools.
