CLOSING OF STREETS
COUNCIL DEFERRED ACTION YES-
TERDAY UNTIL IT* REGULAR
MEETING NEXT MONDAY.
GOVERNMENT WANTS THE LAND
Closing of Street* a Part of Plan for
Enlargement of Fort Sam
Houston.
The meeting of the council yester-
day afternoon which was a special
meeting called by Mayor Callaghan to
take action on the closing of several
streets in the district that the govern
went desires for the enlargement of
Fott Sam Houston to niase it a bri-
gade post failed to take any final ac-
tion and the matter will be disposed
of at the next council meet ng. Mon
ay afternoon.
The application of the department
was presented by Dr. Fred Terrell
who has been working with unbated
seal to secure the land to be used by
the government. Lieutenant Colonel
IL R- Stevens department quarter-
master was not present but was rep-
resented by Lieutenant Goodwin
Compton.
The principal roads leading into
San Antonio from the northeast are
the ones that department desire
cTosed.
The city ’s w'dling to close some
of the streets but is more particular
about closing parts of the Austin and
Biuz Eng' Iman roads which are the
main issues in this controversy. If
the Austin road Is closed it will di-
vert travel from New Braunfels ave-
nue and Gryayson street as this road
road forms the northern border of
the land wanter by the army. The
plans of the government are to use
Wilson street which would make con-
nection with New Braunfels avenue
and Grayson street which would pro-
vide an outlet.
The postponement of action on the
question at issue was for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if consent could
he obtained from Goorge W Bracken
ridge who is the owner of land on
the south of the Binz-Engleman road
to give land for this outlet. Judge
R. B Green and Dr. Terrell were se-
lected to confer with Mr. Bracken-
ridge regarding this matter. If a
change is made iu these roads it will
become necessary to do some road-
bed work of ballast to put the roads in
shape but this matter was not acted
on at yesterday's meeting. City- En-
gineer Ruhl man will obtain data con-
cerning these changes and will give
the council a statement regarding
same.
After the special session the council
committees met. The finance commit-
tee was the only one that had any
matters to ettend to and that was
the report of Victor Beze. Jr. the city
auditor and a damage claim for the
owner of a buggy who claims that
the same was damaged by the hook
and ladder company. In this a num-
ber of witnesses gave evidence. This
case will he given final action at the
meeting on Monday. Quito a
compliment was paid to City Auditor
Beze for his annual report.

DR. CAMPBELL'S REPORT.
Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell city bac-
teriologist today submitted his annual
report to Mayor Callaghan. This re-
l>ort is tor the year ending '<»» 31
lVt‘6 . In this report which is carefully
compiled Dr. Campbell says:
"In looking over these basteriologie-
al examinations you will find 74 cases
examined as a total with only two
)'ositiv« which means that out of 74
cases submitted to bacteriological an-
alysis. only two were true case® of
dlptheria."
In this report Dr. Campbell speaks
about the oyster question and says
that he personally visited the oyster
dealers and warned them against the
use of formaldeyhde in preserving
rs Int' mlcd for this market. He
says that he made many reexamina-
tions. but in no case found this anti-
septic which sails under so many
aliases.
Dr. Campbell also dwells very ex-
tens!'.ely ou the Impure milk ques-
tlon and cites cases where milk has
b.-'n rrt to him containing boracic
acid inti also of cream that contained
starch to give ft body.
In conclusion his report cites that
he is now engaged in a bacteriological
examination involving conclusive evi-
dence against some of the vegetables
sold in the open market and when com-
pleted shall make a detailed rejawt to
the health office.
