ALDERMAN WANTS

Good Live Wire on AIdermanIe Beard
Who Says FannIn and Dallas
Streets Should Be Joined.

An Eagle representative happened
to get in conversation with one OF
our able and energetic aldermen yes
terday afternoon who has been right
at the head OF the movement to pave
Bryan from Main Street to the city
limits in every direction, and in
speaking Of the move that is on foot
to pave Fannin Street. says It Is a
good one and that he is behind 1t in
every detail. This gentleman also
said that he was going to help the
agitators OF this movement to stretch
this out bit and instead Of stopping
at the I. & G. N. depot. run the paving
on across Main Street and cennect
same up with Dallas Street, which
will complete a pavement on out to
A. & NJ College. He says that this
is the only way II should be done and
then we can get to our most valuable
asset without getting off paved
street.
We would like to suggest right here
that in our opinion this is move that
should not be dropped until the streets
are connected and in connecting same
that instead of allowing a certain rail
road. whose property this would cross
get by with few buckets of cheap
oil. have the paving on the right OF
way just the same as on the street
