Editor FL Paso Herald:
A recent news item in The Herald
appeared as follows:
Construction work will start Thurs
day on the first link OF the boulevard
through the city which VIII connect the
lower and upper valley roads The city
Will resurface Magoffin avenue from
Cotton avenue to the Texas & Pacific
road from the T. & P. tracks TO Val
Verde addition. This wiz give con-
tinuous paved road from the plaza to
Fabens
The county is also planning to re-
surface the road from Main street 10
the viaduct 10 connect with the upper
valley drive When this is completed
II viii be possible to ride from
Anthony. n. ", TO Fabens, Tex on
paved boulevard"
If this is correct. some facts and
questions are in order The upper and
lower valley roads are already con-
nected by half a dozen paved streets
through FL PasO. Why is IL necessary
to repave one OF them under the guise
OF giving the city and county some
thing which they already have?
The specified route OF the proposed
boulevard lies on paved streets all the
way through the city and covers al the
pavement thereon recently constructed
BY an FL Paso paving company which
pavement has failed because OF defec-
tive construction and should have been
rebuilt by the company ere this. Why
has this route been selected and why
should the city and county do recon
struction work that should be done by
the company without cost to the pub
Iic2 Is not maintenance OF this pave
ment for hve years by the company
required by the usual contract II not.
why not2 VIII not reconstruction BY
the CITY and county relieve the COM
pany OF responsibility and enable 1t to
stand from under rotten lot OF paving
and leave the city and county holding
the bag? Has the company been legally
notified TO make good its defective work
and have the city and county thereby
become legally authorized TO do the
work at the expense OF the company
The first specified link OF the pro
posed boulevard lies on MagoTin
avenue between Alameda avenue and
Cotton avenue on the east, and the sec
ond link lies on Mundy avenue between
Main street and the viaduct on the
west These are the grossly detective
sections. all built by the paving com
pany- Why is Il proposed that the
city and county shall rebuild them be-
fore anything else is dOne2 Indeed. is
there anything else to be done in the
city between Alameda avenue and the
viaduct?
Texas street paralleIing the proposed
repavinE between Alameda avenue and
Cotton avenue is unpaved- II the city
and county must spend public funds for
paving in the city why not pave that
part OF Texas street and thereby COM
plete another boulevard instead OF re-
paving where they should be in posi-
tion TO compel the paving company to
make good its defective work? Texas
street IS a better route through the
city than Mahoffin avenue.
A precisely similar situation exists
in the west side OF the city where
West Main street. an unpaved but
graded street. parallels the proposed
repaving Of Mundy avenue. The latter
is narrow and INSTRUCTED by bad turns
and a street car track. while the for
mer, in width. alignment and grades
is much superior for a boulevard

am rightly informed. a bill against
gambling and framed by an E Paso
representative, was passed driving
gambling from the state OF Texas. and
also a Sunday law closing all saloons
on Sunday.
The result is. that Juarez and all
other border towns are reaping the
benefits derived from the restraints
placed upon personal liberty by the
people OF Texas.

prohibition. and yet II prohibition

100 Years Ago Today

y NE HUNDRED years ago today
public sentiment in New Eng
land in regards TO the war with
great Britain was undergoing a radl-
cal change For some time a large part
of Maine and a considerable portion o.
Massachusetts had been held by the
British The complete ruin OF the
shipping was felt even more severely
As a result the people Of New England
became more confirmed in their hos
tility 10 the war. There was even talk
Of separating from the rest OF the coun-
try. But the news OF the British re-
pulse at Baltimore, followed a few days
later BY word Of the glorious American
victory on Lake Champlain. resulted
in a marked change in the sentiments
Of the people and at the same time
strengthened their hopes OF an early
peace with England

THAT WATER TEST,

sept % 1873
Editor FL Paso Herald.
I note the statement in the neWspa-
pers that 5000 acre feet OF water are TO
be turned loose from the Santa Maria
lakes. near Creede. Colorado. at the
rate Of 500 O. T. s. and allowed 10
flow down the Rio Grande TO the En-
gle dam so as 10 show what per
centage Of the neadwaters viii reach
the dam
This amount OF water will furnish
500 C. Z. s. for five days. I do not believe
that this is long enough TO establish a
regimen on the stream In fact all OF
the water may be absorbed in estab-
fishing a water table The result
would be that practically no water
would reach the dam and the test would
then confirm COlorad0's contention that
no water would come through
If the test could be continued for. say
20 days, valuable knowledge would be
gained, il rains did not occur during
the run.
Yours very truly,

DESPERATE NEGR0 KILLED
CORONER'S JURY RENDERS YER
DICT JUSTIFYING THE AC-
TION OF THE OFFICER.

Last night, when city policeman
High Ward attempted to arrest Arthur
DeKeizier, he successfully resisted the
single policeman, who thereupon sum-
moned additional police help, includ-
ing Constable A. J. Fulghum, and when
these appeared on the scene DeKeizer
leveled his pistol upon Constable Full
ghum, but the latter was too quick for
him and fired first killing him almost
instantly.
The affair took place down in the
Little Washington section, where a
gang of law-breakers, blind tigers and
their votaries hold carnival, but which
the police are determined to break up.
The case was heard before Coroner
G. E. Stanley this morning, with duly
empanneled jury, who rendered the
following verdict:
We the undersigned coroner's jurors
concerning the death of Arthur De-
Keizier, after carefully examining the
witnesses as to his death report that

HEROES OF VERA CRUZ
REWARDED BY NATION
Each of 1O8 Men Singled Out
by Fletcher Get Some Sort
of Reward
DANIELS WRITES
LET TIERS
He Announced the Action of the De-
partment in a Letter to Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher Who Direct
ed the Operations.

Washington, June 14.-Offcers and
men among the American bluejackets
and marines who distinguished them
selves by conspicuous bravery and
heroiSm at Vera Cruz, were recognized
and rewarded today by the navy de-
partment Every one of the 108 sim
gled out for mention in Rear Admiral
FIetcher's report of the occupation of
the port, was given official commen-
dation in a letter from Secretary Dan
iels, bringing in most cases OF med
ais, gratuitieS or promotions.
Secretary Daniels announced the ac-
ton of the department in letter to
Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher, who
directed the operations at Vera Cruz
expressing the departments apprecia-
ton of "conspicuously able and cour-
ageous performance of duties entail
ing, as they did as grave responsible
ties as could well be placed upon 2
naval commander"
"In the departments opinion wrote
Mr.. Daniels, your performance OF
duty at the seizure of Vera Cruz equal
ly entities you to all the well merited
praise and commendation that has
been bestowed on the officers and men
you were directing.
"It is a pleasure that it was fully
expected that no matter you were call
ed on to do, it would be done with a
spirit and a degree of excellence that
could not be surpassed, and these ex
pectations were met in every partlcu-
lar, under circumstances requiring
professional ability and skill and cour-
age of the very highest order.
your part in the operations at Vera
Cruz is known throughout the length
and breadth of the land and so nobly
speaks for itself that the department
finds it difficult to embody in letter
any thing more that could add to the
satisfaction of having SO capably per
formed, under extraordinary condl-
tions, duty which not only upholds
but adds to the best traditions the ser
vice which you adorn.
sIt is with pleasure that the depart
ment places copy of this letter on
your already distinguished record"
A general order has been issued
awarding a medal of honor and gra-
tuity of $10O to eleven enlisted men
for extraordinary heroism. They also
will be advanced to the next higher
rating carrying increased pay. To Al
officers and 55 enlisted men the writ
ten commentaries. In addition tC
the letter each enlisted man has beer
advanced to the next high rating, car
rying increased pay.
The department it was announced
has under consideration the question
of further suitable reward for officers
who have received commendatory let
ters. The law does not permit thu
awarding of medals of honor to nava
officers, no matter how conspicuou
their service.
