Postoffioe Clerks and Carriers Gov
erned by New Law.

The last session Of congress passed q
provision in the postoffice appropria-
ton bill that clerks in post Offices and
city letter carriers shall not be required
to work in excess of eight hours in q
day and that the period Of work shall be
completed within ten hours This will
necessltate some slight changes in the
schedule at the local Office, the principal
one being that the money order depart
ment will open at $50 q. m twenty
minutes later than at present-and will
close at 5:30-thirty minutes earlier
than under the schedule in force for
several years. The opening time may,
however, be as early as at present If
authority is given to employ two or
three of the present clerks as "extras"
each morning while the early mails are
being distributed. The only change so
far as the carriers is concerned is that
one of the substitute carriers will make
the evening collection of mails and de-
livery to the hotels. The carriers are
also limited to eight hours work in a
day. the former requirement being 4S
hours in week, permitting longer
hours on a day when the mails were
heaviest.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
ALDERMAN JENKINS ELECTED
CITY BUSINESS MANAGER.
City Secretary George r. Wicker Re-
signed and Assistant Secretary
G. G. Griffin Elected.

All Councilmen and-the Mayor were
present last night when the Council
met in the Commercial Club offices,
those quarters being more comfortable
than the Council room on cold nights.
w. Z. James appeared before the
Council and threatened to fence his
property in front of his residence,
which would block the outlet Of Ursu-
line Avenue, unless the Council paid
him the sum of s75. Alderman Jen-
kins opposed this, saying that the
question would have never come up
had it not been for the interurban,
and that ii was the interurban's look
out. Mr.. James title to the land was
unquestioned by the Council, and he
has paid taxes on it for number of
years. The city owns a twenty-foot
alley through the block, and Mr., James
contended that he would fence all but
this alley. Alderman Wick was in favor
of paying Mr.. James claim, saying
that the matter of SIS should not
handicap the street in such a way.
The Council went into executive ses-
sion, and it was decided to pay the
SIS for a deed to the ground now being
used as a street.
w. S. Howell appeared before the
Council and called attention to mar
row strip of land lying along the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad
right-of-way, which had been rendered
by the Board of Equalization at $3.50
last year, and this year was raised to
$1,000. The Council discussed the mat
ter, Alderman jenkins opposing the
reduction of the tax. The Council de-
cided that such raise was unreason-
able, since part of the property had
been sold since last year, and that as
property was rendered in this city, an
injustice had been done. They agreed
to refund one-half of the tax paid, max
ing the rendered value $500.
The street committee was instructed
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-01-28

to attend to the opening Of Caldwell
Street, to extend out toward Mechan-
les Avenue.
Mayor Harris reopened the question
of publishing a monthly condensed
statement Of the financial condition OF
the city, showing what money had
been collected and for what expended.
The Council was opposed to the move,
basing their objection on the ground
that to publish a statement compre.
hensive enough to do any good would
cost the city $40 or SIS month. They
argued that the city books were open
to the inspection Of anyone who, for
any reason whatsoever, desired to see
them at any time.
However, when Mayor Harris stated
that The Eagle had offered to publish
these statements without cost to the
city, the Council agreed.
City Secretary G. r. Wicker ten
dered his resignation, to take effect on
February /, stating that he had taken
stock in the American Steam Laundry
and would on that date take an active
position with same. The Mayor and
Council expressed their regrets at the
action of Mr.. Wicker, and assured him
of their appreciation of the services
which he had rendered.
Alderman Parks made motion that
Deputy Secretary George G. Griffin be
made Secretary until more deliberate
action could be taken. The motion
carried.
Alderman Parks made motion that
in view of the additional work which
would fall on Mr.. Griffin's shoulders,
his salary should be increased to $500
per month. The motion carried.
Aldermen Levy and Walker were APP
pointed committee by the Mayor to
appoint a City Tax Assessor. Upon
motion of Alderman Parks, the Mayor
was added to the committee.
The generosity of Mr.. Lawler in fur
nishing direct pressure free of cost to
the city until the new water tower
could be built was discussed. and the
Council decided that prompt action
should be taken in getting the pre-
liminaries necessary to the building of
the water tower under way. The water
pressure was better than 1t had ever
been in the history of the city, but it
put Mr.. Lawler to a heavy expense
and Aldermen Walker and Parks were
appointed a committee to arrange for

JUDGE CLARK DEAD
AT JACKSONVILLE

At his residence one mile north of
town, Judge T. D. Clark died Tuesday
morning at 1880 a. m. Very impressive
funeral services were conducted by
Elder F. J. Berry at the Christian
Church, and the last sad rites were
paid the deceased at the city GENE
terry by the Masonic Lodge of Madi-
sonville, of which Judge Clark was
prominent member.
Judge Clark was AZ years, months
and 20 days old at his death, and is
survived by Mrs. Clark and five chill
dren. Throughout his illness he and
his many friends felt that life for him
was very fragile thread, yet none
ceased to hope until the very last
when it was shown that "hopes had
been against hopes"
Having lived in Leon County prac-
tically all of his earlier life, related
to and connected with families most
widely known and prominently en-
gagged in both Leon and Madison coun-
ties, and of a most cordial and genial
disposition himself, all made Judge
Clark one of Madison County's first
citizens. He had served one term as
County Judge and was reelected with
out opposition for the second term
when his health proved such that he
did not deem it prudent to qualify.
AS County Judge, it is not too much
to say that his administrative record
was without apparent blame, and as
ex officio County Superintendent he
was doing much for the schools of the
county, and certainly held the greatest
respect of every teacher in the county.
The Meteor voices the sentiments of
his hosts of friends in extending to
his wife and children the heartfelt
sympathy of all who knew him, to all
of whom the death of this noble man
is severe blow.-Madisonv

bids, plans and specifications for a

Alderman Parks stated that he was
in favor of the employment of union
labor on the structure, to forestall the
possibility of dynamiters. y
The need for someone to be/fespon-
sible for the expenditure of thr-city-s
finances, and to supervise the work,
was considered and 1t was decided to
create the office OF City Manager. The
Aldermen ardently advocated the ad-
vantages of this plan of running the
business of the city, and Mayor Harris
was of the opinion that the appointing
of such an officer would regulate and
systematic matters.
The Councilmen expressed their con-
fidence in the ability of Alderman
Charles E. Jenkins to fill the position,
and he was accordingly chosen City
Manager, the power Of all committees
being transferred to him, and all their
responsibility, upon motion Of Alder
man Parks. No salary was attached to
the office for the present.

'GOOD ROADS FOR MI"

Il am strictly in favor Of good
roads," was the answer John d. Jones
made when questioned by an Eagle man
today. He further stated that the pres
ent system of road making and repair
ing by those who were qualified to
work them was not sufficient by any
means.
81 have agreed to oversee the work
ing of my road again for another term,
but we can not accomplish much by
this method" said Mr.. Jones.
Mr.. Jones favors good roads by any
method the people of Brazos County
see fit to adopt, and voted for the bond
issue which was defeated in Brazos
County last year.
