COUNCIL CALLS
FDR ADEQUATE
PfIOTEGTION
Because the water pressure on the |
various hills of the city is declared to[
be inadequate making it impossible for
the firemen to cope with the flames I
when a house catches fire the city j
council will institute an investigation
looking to bringing about better pres-
sure in the outlying districts. The mat-1
ter which is regarded as very impor-
tant for the safety of persons and for
the protection of dwellings was brought [
to the attention of the aidermen by;
Fire Chief Wright. The recent fire on
Prospect hill is responsible for the ques-
tion being brought up.
The council voted to take steps to
install sewerage system in Beacon Hill
Summit Place and Prospect Hill. A
special ordinance will be passed at the
next session in order that the $45000
bond issue already voted in the Pros-
pect Hill district may be marketed.
Changes will have to be made in the I
Beacon Hill and Summit Place districts
according to Aiderman Smith. An or-
dinance calling for a special election
to vote on the issuance on $16000 for |
Beacon Hill and $6500 for Summit
Place must be passed.
Amend Fire Ordinance.
The amended fire ordinance as pre-1
sented at the last meeting was with
drawn yesterday and in its stead Aider-
man Wickelaud chairman of the com-
mittee on fire and fire limits intro-
duced a measure which covers practi-
cally the same territory with the ex-
ception of the southern portion of the
city. . The inner limits are bounded as
follows:
Beginning at Fourth street extending
along Fourth street to Nacogdoches
and Bowie street to Blum street; thence
to Live Oak street south to Center east
BLADDER TROUBLES NEED

tant organs hinges good health 1 Many
an apparently strong healthy man or

by serious kidney and bladder disease
only to realize too late what might have
been prevented with proper care and at
tention:

kidneys and bladder are lumbago rheu-
matism catarrh of the bladder pain or
dull ache in the back joints or muscles
at times have headache or indigestion
dizziness you may have a sallow com-
plexion puffy or dark circles under the
eyes sometimes feel as though you had
heart trouble may have plenty of am-
bition but no strength get weak and
waste away.
If you find you have some of the
symptr ;» mentioned you need then a
remed '.hat will reach the seat of the
disease and at the same time build up
the system generally.
Such a remedy is Swamp-Root the
great kidney liver and bladder remedy.
In thousands of cases it has accom-
plished just the work you need per-
formed now.

The ordinance was passed under sus-
pension of the rules. The ordinance
creating the outer limits Aiderman
Wickeland stated would probably be
ready to be introduced at the next ses-
sion of the council.
Water Pressure Too Weak.
The communication of Fire Chief
Wright commenting on the lack of
water pressure in the suburbs said:
“Whenever we have a not fire on
the hills in any portion of the city the
same conditions of scanty pressure pre-
vail and the slight increase in pressure
from the pumping station is slow in
reaching us that it is of little service
in checking the fire. It is impossible
for the fire engines to supply all the
streams at a bad fire and therefore
the water pressure in the outlying dis-
tricts is inadequate for fire protection.
“At the fire on Prospect Hill on June
26 only the streams from the fire en-
gines were effective to any extent.
When the department arrived the two-
story frame buildiifg at 1625 Buena
Vista street was a total mass of flames
and the two-story building adjoining
was also on fire. The heat was so in-
tense and the hydrant streams so weak
that the firemen could not get close
enough to the burning buildirg to do
effective work.”
Will Investigate.
The council was unanimous in favor
of instituting an investigation for the
purpose of ascertaining just what pro
visions are contained in the waiter sup-
ply contract with the city towards fur-
nishing additional pressure in the out-
lying districts.
According to a petition from R. Men-
ger. which was introduced by Aiderman
Lambert citizens on Cherry street are
disturbed by negro worshipers shouting
on Sundays. The petitioner asked for
relief. At the suggestion of the mayor
the petition was referred to the chief
of police with instructions to inform
the negroes to be more quiet in their
revival methods.
Must Guard Live Wires.
The Traction company will be noti-
fied by communication by the city clerk
that street car crews must comply with
the provisions of the ordinance ’which
compels them to rope off live wire*.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the eouncil by Aiderman Lam-
bert. who stated that a failure to com
ply- with the ordinance nearly cost a
little girl her life on Austin street yes-
terday afternoon. The ordinance p-o-
-vides that all car crews must carry
ropes for the purpose of roping off live
wires.
By way of suggestion and having for
its purpose better water pressure
in the outlving districts Alderman
Lockwood called attention to the pre-
amble of the contract made with the
water company during the Hicks admin-
istration. whereby the company agreed
to construct standpipes on Government
Hill and Laurel Heights. The said
standpipes he reported have never
been erected and he suggested that the
matter be looked into. The mayor fa-
vored the move but expressed >egret
that he believed the preamble promise
was no better now than when made.
Will Celebrate the Fourth.
The eouncil unanimously voted to ac
cept Alderman Wickeland’s invitation
to celebrate the Fourth of July and as
SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE
a consequence the aidermen will take
a vacation next Monday.
Resolutions introduced by Aiderman
Arnaud were accepted directing that
Medina street from Commerce street
ito Colima street be 'macadamized and
Buena Vista street from Santa Rosa
avenue to the Alazan creek be repaired.
Permission was granted the San An-
tonio Laundry to build a laundry at
i 131 North Flores street.
The eouncil referred the petitions of
merchants of Military plaza for the use
of sidewalks 'or elosing of certain al-
leys and service companies for rights
to set poles were referred to the proper
committees.
The city government will be unable
to take any steps towards effecting a
settlement of the dispute among the
residents of Beanville because of the
recent alleged fencing up of Mulligan
! avenue. Aiderman Menger chairman
1 of the street committee reported that
after an investigation the committee
finds that the said Mulligan avenue
is not a duly accepted street or avenue
of the city. This means that the com-
plaining residents will have to look else-
where for relief in all probability the
courts.

MEET TODAY
TO DISCUSS
RAILROAD
Directors of the Business Men’s club
will take up this afternoon the propo-
sition of J. P. Nelson and associate*
for the building of a railroad to con-
nect San Antonio and Fredericksburg.
Mr. Nelson with a number of Freder-
icksburg citizens headed by Temple
D. Smith met last week with the di-
rectors and outlined his proposition.
Owing to the fact that a quorum wag
not present no action was taken.
The line it is proposed shall be
built from some point on the San An-
tonio & Aransas Pass probably either
Comfort or Waring direct to Freder-
icksburg and probably on north to
Brady. The company will be chartered
for 250 miles.
From San Antonio a bonus of $50-
000 is asked and bond purchases
amounting to $50000 is also required.
One-half of each of these sums it is
stipulated shall be paid when the road
is in operation to Fredericksburg and
the remainder when the Gillespie coun-
ty line has been reached.
At last week’s meeting it was
pointed out by the visitors and ac-
quiesced in by the San Antonio men
that the territory to the north of this
city which the line would tap has a
rieh trade that has for years been com-
ing to San Antonio but now northern
cities are bidding for it and in time
it may go elsewhere unless a direct
connection with San Antonio is had.
Assurance was given at the last
meeting that the proposition would re-
ceive every consideration and that
San Anto'nio would do all in its power
to secure the road. The meeting this
afternoon will be for the purpose of
definitely deciding on the proposition
and it is probable that steps to raise I
the necessary bonus will be taken.
