Commissioner Shay presented a mo-
tion to the board to the effect that a
change be made in the system whereby
the city water department and the en-
gineering department had worked in
the past. He stated that where the
city had to tear up pavement for the
purpose of installing a tap, the money
was collected from the owner of the
property and paid through the water
department into the city treasury, go-
ing into the general funds, and that
later his department would be called
upon to make payment to the city en-
gineering department for the amount
in question, as the city engineering de-
partment did the work of repairing the
paving. This matter was discussed at
some length, but the proposal was
finally rejected, as the majority of the
board were of the opinion that the
collections of the city should be cen-
tralized.
Mayor Kempner delivered on invita-
tion from the Italian societies of the
city, who are to give a parade in cele-
bration of Italy Day tomorrow, asking
that the board of commissioners partic-
ipate in the parade, and the invitation
was accepted. It was also announced
that the Italian flag would fly at the
flagstaff at the municipal building
throughout the day.
The board declared that Thursday,
May 30, should be declared a holiday,
that date having been set aside as a
day for fasting and prayer. All mu-
nicipal offices will be closed on that
occasion and the next meeting of the
board of, city commissioners will be
held on Wednesday preceding that
date.
The committee, consisting of City
Attorney Royston and Mayor Kemp-
ner, announced that they had received
petitions requesting that leases of
the Chas. Clarke and Bowers Dredging
Co., who have possession of some of
the Pelican dyke property, for an ex-
tension of some ten years. The pro-
visions in the lease demand that im-
provements must have been made on
the property in question amounting to
$75,000, and a statement had been filed
to the effect that this has been com-
plied with. The matter was held up
pending an investigation into the lo-
cation of the improvements.
Teh annual reports of the chief of
police, the chief of the fire depart-
ment, the superintendent of the water-
works and sewerage departments and
of the city engineer were filed. The
board ordered that copies be sent to
each of the members pending further
action. /
Bids were received on several stem
bevel gear gate valves which were
wanted by the water department, one
coming from a Houston firm and the
other coming from the Black Hard-
ware company and Paul Shean com-
pany. Black Hardware company bid
$774.4.0 with the bypass attached and
Paul Shean bid $766.40 with the bypass
attached, or a reduction of $20 for a
small bypass.
REDMEN TO CELEBRATE.
A petition was received from the
various tribes and councils of the Or-
der of Red Men of the city asking per-
mission to use Menard park on May 30
for the purpose of giving their Deco-
ration Day exercises. They stated that’
the general public was to be invited
and that the evening was to be given
over to talks, music and like entertain-
ments. They added that the military
forces there had said that there would
be no trouble experienced as far as
they were concerned. The permission
was granted.
A petition was received from the J.
Lobit estate requesting permission to
remove a house from 1120 Avenue A to
the intersection of Twelfth and Strand.
It was referred to the building in-
spector with power to act.
A petition was received from P. B.
Niland requesting permission to re-
pair some places in the house at 2828
E. This matter was referred to the
building inspector with power to act.
A bill was rendered from the
Woman’s Health Protective associa-
tion asking that the city pay the sum
According to the announcement of
Mayor I. H. Kempner, the city will not
be called upon to contribute to the
maintenance of the municipal band
this season, but this will be main-
tained through private subscriptions.
Plans to that effect, he said, were be-
ing carried through by the Galveston
Commercial Association, upon condi-
tion that the city would not consent to
let it act as a precedent, as they hoped
that hereafter the city would be in po-
sition to furnish the band or to at
least aid in maintaining one. They
further requested that the city furnish
lights for the park, which has been
tentatively decided upon as to the va-
cant strip of ground at the intersec-
tion of the boulevard between Twen-
ty-first and Twenty-second streets.
This was granted.
A petition was received from the
Hotel Galvez requesting the board of
commissioners to look into the use of
water of the hotel for building pur-
poses along the beach front. The bill
of the hotel for last month amounted
to $307.30, which was almost twice
the amount that the hotel had ever
used before. According to the state-
ment of the manager, P. L. Sanders, in
the communication, he said that the
water in question had been used by the
contractor in charge of the work of
building curbs and doing paving work
there, and that some of it had also
been used by the Galveston Electric
Company in doing their work along
the beach front. He stated that he
did not think that the Galvez should
be called upon to pay for the water
used in these city contracts. Mayor
Kempner and others spoke on the sub-
ject and all agreed that the hotel
should not be held responsible for wa-
ter used on the city work, but that
the contractor should be notified that
he was held responsible for the pay-
ment of the bills. Such a course was
taken by the board after much discus-
sion.
City Electrician W. E. Masterson re-
quested the permission of the board to
turn on the white watt lights along the
boulevard, beginning tomorrow night,
as he had said the usual summer vis-
itors were beginning to arrive and he
thought that step necessary. Mayor
Kempner demurred, stating that the
debris from the beach work has not
been cleared away as yet and that
should be gotten away with before the
lights were finally turned on, but re-
versed his conclusions when informed
that this would be done before the
end of the present week. The matter
was finally turned over to Commission-
er Suderman and Mr. Masterson for in-
vestigation, with power to act.
PURCHASE OF UNIFORMS.
Mayor Kempner also announced that
arrangements have been made whereby
the city is to buy the uniforms of the
police department for the men and
the amount is to tie taken from the
monthly pay of the men in three al-
lottments amounting to about $5 each
time. This plan has been approved by
the members of the police department.
Mr. Kempner stated that in the event
a man left his job on the force the
amount could nearly always be col-
