SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
Vote the bonds if you don’t want to-
morrow to turn out a ’’black Friday.”
* * *
The people understand that the bond
proposition is only seriously opposed by
the Water Works company aud the local
political soreheads.
# # #
The Water Works company thinks it
to their interest to oppose city owner-
ship of the water supply even if it kills
the sewer proposition and threatens the
whole community with destructive epi-
demics.
* ♦ ♦
The soreheads want to get even.
# #
The discussion has taken a wider range
than the proposition warrants and has
brought out a great deal of ignorance and
political spite But the intelligent tax-
payers should understand that the ques-
tion of buying the water works is not yet
before them. The <25000 is to secure the
services of eminent engineers to propose a
plan of sewerage and to develop a water
supply sufficient for the city if needed-
in other words to make the city indepen-
dent of the present private monoply.
It was promised during the late canvass
that the city should be pushed forward in
needed public improvements. This
promise is now before the people for ful-
fillment.
* ♦ *
The people remember that it has not
been so long ago since Col. Brackenridge
made the offer to sell his works and park
for two millions of dollars and in order
to get the people to vote for the proposi-
tion is was publicly stated that the works
were earning a net profit for the
'company of <97000 and that the increase
of water takers would soon earn 5 per
cent on <2000000. If the tax-payers are
contributing this immense sum to a pri-
vate corporation It Is plain that they
should own their water supply. It wil 1
cut down their expenses and lighten the
burden of taxation.
* ♦ *
We want our city to prosper—it must
not u?o backward. A vote against the
<25.000 proposition will kill the town.
The people do not owe the waterworks
company anything. On the contrary they
have paid for every foot of pipe in the
ground; for every acre of ground claimed
by the company; for every artesian well
in fact for everything belonging to that
company even for the printing of the
watered stock held by the stockholders.
It is time the people looked out for their
own interests.
# < *
Vote the bonds and there will be an
upward bound in real estate.
♦ * *
Vote the bonds unless you want to go
backward.
< « •
Vote the bonds and hold up the hands of
the first administration that has had the
courage to make the fight for the people's
interests.
Jockey Club Meeting.
A well attended meeting of the San An-
tonio Jockey club was held at the Menger
hotel last night. Several new members
were elected and other business transact-
ed. Some of the privileges were let.
Another meeting will be held Saturday
night.
A Jealous Woman.
Gregorla Cortez had a row with one of
her neighbors yesterday and used some
abusive language. She was arrested and
fined <5. The evidence went to show that
she was jealous of the woman with whom
she had the trouble.
We Must Own It.
All progressive cities own their own
water works and supply their inhabitants
water at the cost of production. This is
the demand that the people of San Anto-
nio must make now. Incorporate greed
should not be permitted to choke the
prosperity and comfort of a community.
WINKS AT THE CITY.
The Express bricks were very hard to-
day.
Water lights and the fire department
eat up the largest part of the revenues.
Sundries and contingencies still show
up well. <6.603.88. The steam rollers
also have <215.07 sundries attached
The “Son-in-law bug has given the
Mayor a chance to find out some of his
friends? and enemies.
A few more doses of red bricks may
open the eyes of “my son-In-law” and
the city printing will be figured out.
Editor Brann gives us a “scorcher” this
morning. A four-co' - xmn fat advertise-
ment has not intimi ated him.
“Todying”tothe morning paper doesn’t
keep the bricks from flying when you
tread on the water works’ toes.
The Express has four columns double-
price city advertising today. As there is
no contract for this work the Light
hopes the enterprising publisher will
charge full water works rates for same.
The financial statement of the city
published' this morning shows <603 18
paid for advertising and printing for
February. March and April. By some
mistake the Light got <5 of this amount
If the Express won’t let us have water
works let’s tackle the electric lights pass
the Joe Beckmann pole ordinance and
build a market house.'
A Macon street citizen writes the Light
about the objectionable character of
some shanties at the corner of Macon and
San Pedro Avenue.
“The Income tax Is one of those beauti-
ful theories that have never worked well
in practice.”—Express.] And the money
won’t hold out if we continue to award
contracts to the highest bidders.

Bricks vs. Sop.
Our mayor and council for some time
have been throwing “sop” and taffy at
the Express and they haven't taken to
“water ’ worth a. cent. It says this
morning:
“His honor the mayor bad time to
write the lengthy communication pub-
lished elsewhere In this paper but has
been too busy to write anything to show
the people that he was backed by facts
and reasonably correct Information when
he penned his message presenting the
annual budget to the council. He based
his recommendations on the statements
of fact he presented and Colonel Bracken-
ridge declared the facts as presented did
not exist. The Express called attention
to this important feature of the case and
asked that the truth be given the people
taking no sides with either the mayor or
the water company in the article in ques-
tion. It elicited no Information; only
abuse—a stone instead of bread.”
