CIVIC PRIDE BO|LS
At MASS MEETING
City Development Committee Held
Enthusiastic Meeting - Would
Rename Many Streets.

The citizens Of Bryan who failed to
attend the meeting last night called
by Chairman Wilkerson OF the City
Development Committee and the
Bryan and Brazos County CONNER
cial Association will no doubt regret
the fact after they are told Of the in.
teresting meeting that was held. Men
we're there who have the real, true
spirit Of city building in their hearts
and the civic pride that is embodied
in their souls fairly boiled until 1t
boiled over. Men who are men and
can and will do things were there and
talked right out in the meeting.
II was clearly brought out by Major
l.. l.. McInnis, active vice president
Of the First National Bank. that
Bryan was all that II could ever be
until we get new charter. This gen.
tleman's views on this matter were
fine and well founded.
Mr.. A. W. wilkerson. cashier Of the
City National Bank, was very entna-
thiastic about the new charter and
many other things that will have to
be done to make city out OF Bryan.
City Engineer A. S. Adams told In
this meeting some things that would
open the eyes OF the people In Bryan
IL they only knew them. He said:
I'VE are at the end Of the rope and
can 20 no further until the rope Is
heightened or cut and the only way
to do this is to get new charter for
the city"
Mr.. b. Kaczer expressed himself In
a very emphatic way that he was for
a bigger and better Bryan. a new
charter and everything else that
would make a city here.

citizen needs not to be quoted on his

they win build them good, but viii
also make provision for their mainte-
nance. No matter how good they are
built, they must be kept in repair
and the life Of all roads depends upon
the attention given them after they
are completed and opened to the
traffic.
When Napoleon planned his battles
he not only planned for victory, bul
also for defeat In road work We
should not only plan to build them
but also plan to keep them built.

miss our prediction something was
inaugurated last night at this meeting
that will in a short time mean some
great things for Bryan.

beautiful, but will be big.
The real object Of the meeting wa,
Tor the purpose Of working out In
detail some conflicts that exist in IN,
names Of streets and other matter,
that will be necessary to secure IN,

ing over the matter thoroughly Il wa
decided to recommend to the elf,

lThe proposed change would elIminat,
all conflicts in street names an,
would make II much easier for

Icity and to establish mail routes.
The matter Of street signs an,

gineer A. s. Adams agreed to prepar

changes Of the streets and same Wi

OBSERVATIONS !
BY THEWAYs
>nnnnnnrrPrp

The threatened strike situation has
caused considerable trouble in Bryan
already. according to Mr.. ]. c. Jarrett
of the Steagall & Jarrett Paving Com
pany. Mr.. Jarrett received letter
from the firm from which they buy
their gravel, which told him that the
railroad company had discontinued
the acceptance Of gravel for shipment
until the strike controversy was set
tied. Inasmuch as there Is very little
material on hand now, Mr.. Jarrett is
doubtful II he will be able to continue
running his machines until the strike
is finally settled. This fact is very
regrettable, as this firm works q
large force Of men and is doing q
very large amount Of work In Bryan.
The finishing touches are being
made today at the popular mems fur.
nishing store Of Brandon q Lawrence.
This concern has Just completed re.
modelling and making anew campaign
In their place Of business. All the
wood work has been made new with
stains and varnishes, new paper has
been placed on the walls and ceilings,
some OF the prettIest molding to be
secured has been used to panel the
ceilings Of the building. On the right
side Of the front entrance these gen
,tlemen are installing section OF new
fixtures which will add materially IA
the interior Of their store. The new
section will include two revolving hat
cases, large plate glass mirroret
alcove and dressing room with mir
rored walls and electric lights and
fan. Brandon a Lawrence will have
Ia regular city style store when they
get through.
