During the discussion of reducing
the width of Main street, an Alder
man remarked that he did not con-
template street cars within the next
fifteen or twenty years." If that is
to be our fate, if the future holds no
more in store for us than that, then
Main street does not need paving. If
we are to remain country town, it
is not right to tax the people for street
paving. A village with a paved street
will look like fifty-dollar saddle on
a twenty-five-dollar pony. The Eagle
does not share the said Alder
mans views. We are progressive and
have an abiding faith in the city's
future. We believe the next five years
will bring us a city of fifteen thousand
people, with street cars and many
other conveniences and improvements
which we do not have at this time.

PROFESSOR ALLEN ON BRYAN'S
STREETS.

To The Eagle:
The matter of paving Main street
ought to be of real interest to every
citizen of Bryan. 1t will be the most
important step yet taken toward CIV
ing to the town something of the air
of city. A mistake made, either in
the plan of laying out the street or in
the selection of the material to be
used in its construction, would tend
to discourage and retard further de-
velopments; while satisfactory re-
suits. on the other hand, would create
public sentiment in favor Of other i'm
!provements.
Civic pride is growing rapidly in
Bryan. There is strong sentiment
for doing things; many of our citizens
have grown not a little impatient of
delays in the effort to secure for the
town some needed improvements. But
it is better to move little slowly, if
by so doing we can increase the
chances of being right, than it is to
go hastily into any plan which has not
been thoroughly worked out, and con-
sidered from every point of view.
In all our plans, both for private and
public improvements, think we are
apt to give too little thought to the
jpermanency of the work. We do too
many things as though they were to
be merely temporary makeshifts. A
town like Bryan ought to begin to
build for the future. That is the most
satisfactory way, and in the long run
it is cheapest. If this is true in gen
eral, it certainly applies with partic-

STEEL LAYING UNDER WAY

The Eagle is informed that the work
OF laying the steel on the interurban
into the bottom was begun yesterday
at Stone City. The company is anx-
ious to get the steel laid from Stone
City to the Little Brazos as quickly
as possible so the material for the
Little Brazos bridge can be transport
ed from Stone City to the bridge site.
The Eagles informant states that
the grading is well-nigh completed to
the bottom, there being less than a
mile and a half to close up. The pile
driving for bridges and trestles is also
practically completed.
The work is being rapidly pushed,
and the company fully expects to have
the road completed in time to handle
this years crop.

The franchise for the operation Of

The franchise for the operation of
a gas plant, which has been applied
for, is, in the opinion Of The Eagle,
one of the most important coming up
for consideration in recent years. AS
The Eagle understands it, the pro-
moters propose to use natural gas
from the Mexia field, which is of
course better than manufactured gas,
and has no superior for lighting and
fuel purposes. Gas is the greatest
convenience known in the entire
scheme of domestic economy and
would mean more to the people of
Bryan than any other one thing that
could be secured. The Eagle under
stands there is unlimited capital back
of the enterprise, and would be glad
to see the franchise granted, safe
guarded however by the proper and
necessary restrictions.

In the second place, the double
street arrangement would greatly in
crease the safety of the public, and
this is a matter worth considering.
With a central park space, the Sc
curity of pedestrians, especially wom-
en- and children, in crossing the street
would be greater
There is yet another consideration.
From the standpoint of attractiveness,
the central park plan has great advan-
tages over the other If portion of
the present street is to be exempted
from travel, the town ought to assume
control and take care of that strip.
To leave the identifying and care of
this strip to the hundred property
owners or storekeepers on Main street
would be to leave the whole matter
without concert of action, and with.
out intelligent plan. 1t would be to
fail to seize an opportunity to add to
Main street great attractiveness at a
trifling cost. Think what a transforma.
ton would be wrought by a simple
strip Of smooth green Bermuda turf
down the center of the street! Add
to this pleasing picture the charm Of
a long line of pin oak trees, and what
scene We have! All this could be
had at less cost than the double strips
of the other plan. But the strongest
arguments for the central park plan
are based upon utility rather than
upon beauty. Greater service, less
congestion, more safety, as well as
greater beauty, would result from the
double street plan.
There may be reasons for the other
plan outweighing the advantages of
the plan l have here advocated. The
object of this communication is to
awaken interest and elicit thoughtful
consideration of the whole matter by
the public in the hope that the best
plan may finally be adopted.

ular force to road making and street
building.
In reference to our streets, | wish
to say that !, for one, have often
thought how fortunate it is for the
town that it should have been laid out
with such generous space and room.
Wide streets are costly? Yes, but
worth all they cost; and they will be
more and more appreciated as the town
grows into a city. 1t is not necessary
to pave the whole width of street.
! 1t is just to this point that | am COM
ing. | submit it as business PROPOSE
/ ton that eight feet of well-kept green
: turf on any street will enhance the
value of the adjacent property by
many times the cost of maintaining
the street. There Is not a home in
Bryan today which has such a strip
that is not worth several hundred
dollars more on the market because
of this added attraction. But you say,
How about your wide streets whose
generous breadth is filled with rub
bish and overgrown with weeds?" Bad
enough, but not so bad as narrow
one with the same rubbish and weeds.
1t can not be demonstrated that towns
with narrow streets keep their streets
cleaner than do towns with broad
streets
| Now, as to Main street, for several
reasons it appears to me that the plan
of leaving the central portion of it
unpaved is better than the plan of
leaving such a strip on each side.
Constructed according to the latter
plan, if at some future time it should
be found desirable to have a car line
on Main street, it would not only be
necessary to tear up at great loss the
pavement in the central portion, but
the curbings bounding the strips along
either side would likewise have to be
sacrificed, for with a street car line
on Main, all its present width would
be needed.
But leaving future street car con-
tingencies out of the question, l think
there are strong reasons for choosing
the central space plan. First, the
double street plan would be more con-
venient, and would greatly facilitate
traffic. If the present street should
be narrowed by, say thirty feet, fif-
teen on either side, and all wagons,
automobiles, cotton drays, and other
vehicles should be confined to the mar
rowed central portion, everyone will
admit that there would be greatly in
creased congestion in our busy sea-
sons. AS it is, frequently there is
perfect jam. With the double street,
much of this jam could be eliminated
Again, with fifteen or twenty-foot
strip of forbidden ground, bounded by
a curb, in front of the stores, it would
be very inconvenient for those in
vehicles of any kind to communicate
with shopkeepers. Ladies who shop
in their carriages or cars would find
this especially announcement.
