CITY COUN?IL MEETS
Several Matters of Routine Come I p
at the Session.
Among those who returned late last
r.ight or early this morning were Secre-
tary of Slate C. C. McDonald, Assistant
Secretary D. A. Gregg and W. P. Bagby
of the same departmeut; Commissioner B .
L. Gill of the Department of Insurance

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 15.—Extensive
j nblic road improvements in Baylor
County are predicated in a SIOO.CCO issue
law on thin question, wrote
"This depaitment is in receipt of your
letter of August IS, in which you point
out that the appropriation hill provides
"that employes in tho service of the.State,
who have been in such service one year
or more, may be entitled to a vacation,
not to exceed fifteen days in any one
year, without any reduction of salary.'
Fn \ i» w of this provision you submit the
tdowing stat nient and question:
" The poller or the Stale Library has
been in the service more than a year. If
lie takes a vacation w1 will be obliged to
hire some one else during his absence.
Would the law permit us to lure this
game porter to fill the vacancy?'
"In reply respectfully advise that in
my opinion it is not lawful to employ tho
porter and pay him extra for the period
of his vacation. The law in providing
that employes of the State departments
may be permitted to have fifteen days'
vacation without reduction of salary, evi-
dently contemplates some resulting ad-
vantage from this provision to accrue to
the public serv ice. Perhaps on tlie theory
that all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy,' it was thought that efficiency
in the service would be promoted by per-
mitting a period of rest. Whether or not
•uch was the intention of the Legisla-
ture, the proposition is well established
that when I he law imposes a duty upon
an officer or employ*' of the Government
and makes an additional provision by
which, under certain conditions others
may perform the duty, the officer or
ploye primarily charged with the duty
can not claim additional compensation
under tl;e latter provision. This Is II-

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 15. — Detailed work-
ing plans for the granite part of the new
postoffice building were received today by
(Jen. Webster Flanagan, collector of in-
ternal revenue. Receipts for the plans
were forwarded to the supervising archi-
tect in Washington.
The arrival of tho working plans mean
that construction work will begin in a fetv

are expected to arrive in n short time.
It became known today that Vermont
granite will he used in the new building,
despite strenuous efforts to have Texas
granite ordered. This was decided by the
contractors after consideration of price*
ami transportation rates. The fact that
Government officials had nothing to do
with this phase of the work, and no rep-
resentative of -the contractors has yet
reached here, made it impossible today to
obtain an explanation of Jheir action in
turning down the Texas granite.

MANY STREETS IMPROVED
They Have Been Rolled. <ira\eled
and Graded and Sewers Laid.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AI ST IN, Tex., Aug. 15.—The street and
engineering departments have been ex-
ceptionally busy during the last month,
for in addition to street rolling, gravel-
ing and grading, a thirty-Inch storm
sewer in Colorado Street has been com-
pleted for more than a block and one
block of alleyway has been paved with
"Dolarwaj."
The storm sewer in Colorado Street
was started June ill to extend trom the
Colorado River to a point between Third
and Fourth Streets and there join a
twenty-four-inch storm sewer. During
July it was completed from the river t"
the alley between First and Second
Streets. A corrugated outfall was placed
at the river end, running up the bank to
a point twenty-four feet beyond. The
sewer was constructed partly With forms
and partly with molded culvert pipe.
The balance of the sewer will be built
of thirty-inch molded culvert pipe.
The work thus far has cost $856.70 in
salaries and wages, $75.2'. for teams, $K-7
for 314 sacks of cement and $29S.-40 for 1
4112 feet of culvert pipe. As soon as the
storm sewer is completed the work of
paving Colorado from Second to Fourth
Streets will begin.
