STATE PENSIONS REDUCED FOR
LACK OF FUNDS.

The fact that the rcmittanccS from

siderably reduced has troubled the pen
sioners much. State Comptroller Ter
rell has been overwhelmed with a
flood of letters Of inquiry n 10 the
cause Of the shrinkagc. The explana-
ton. according "a Pension Commits
sioner Jones. j. simple The tax pay
mentS have not been sufficient TO allow
as large a payment aS during previous
quarters. Ii appears that the pension
payments have been IN excess Of the
regular amount during the past two
quarters. il being the policy of the pen
sion commissioner to pay more during
winter than during summer. because he
thinks the needs Of the pensioners are
greater during the winter. Thus the
matter is explained from pension head
quarters 40 Austin. Comptroller Ter
rell has nothing TO do with the matter,
il is stated II seems the state pension
board differs from the provcrbial
grasshopper philosophy. 1t believes in
providing against the necessities of the
winter, and, if shortness of cash re
quires skimping, the reduction comes
off the summer payments.

OBsCURTNG TIE STREET LIGHTS

Now that our handsome ornamental
street lighting system has been compile
ted. it cannot but BE- remarked that in
some places the effect of the lights is
interfered with consireably on account
Of Overhanging awing and swinging
signs. Everyone admires these splendid
lights. They have added both beauty
and distinction to BROWNSVILLE ap-
pearance. Nothing. III fact. has done
more 10 give the place a metropolitan
air. Their usefulness need not be- pom
ted out. for everyone can see how cf-
ficiently they serve the purpose Of
lighting our streets. Strangers visiting
here are proiuse IN tlicir compliments
upon our beautiful modern system Of
street lighting. But il must be- admitted
that here and there the effect of the
lights Is badly married and their cf-
fieiency greatly impaired, by reason If
the awingingS or signs that iut ont be-
yond the line at the lights.

them. Especially in ease of storms or
violent winds are they dangerous. The
swinging sign has not a leg To stand
upon in court. Therefore there can be
no improperly whatever III requesting
the removal OF signs wherever they OBJ

believe that a single business man will

gressive. They will DO their part. Those
