WILL ASK FOR BIDS SUOiN.
Citizens' Committee for Houston Street
Improvement District Considers
Paving Material.
For the purpose of deciding what kinds
of material to consider for use in pav-
ing Houston Street the Houston Street
Improvement District citizens' committee
will meet some time this momh at the
tall of the Mayor. The committee is
now considering brick, asphalt and a
now process, using cement and powdered
reek. Action on the matter is now de-
ferred until the City Engineer can re-
port on the number of surface yards and
cubic yards that will be needed to pave
the street from Alamo Plaza to Santa
Rosa Avenue.
As soon as the City Engineer furnishes
tiiis report the bids will be called for.
(*. Gibbs. who is chairman of the
citizens' committee, is urging naste in
completing the work, so far as is con-
sistent with care and good judgment.
Vesterday afternoon when the laborers
quit work on West Hruston Street
nothing remained of the building between
Soledad Street and Main Avenue but
part of the rock building at Soledad and
West Houston Streets. It will probably
be down today. More property further
west, however, must be torn down he-
fore the street .widening can begin. Thin
will require considerable work on the
part of those managing the widening of
the street.
There is considerable disagreement
about the worth of the property.

SEEK STOLEN HIDES.
Constable Stevens Finds That Hide
Buyers do Not Comply With
State Laws.
Constable Charles F. Stevens said yes-
terday afternoon that in looking through
the hide stores of this city, assisting
Sheriff Will Wright of Wilson County to
find stolen hides, he discovered that less
than half of the hides handled in this
city are inspected, and that very few
bills of sale aro given when hides are
purchased. The State law provides, ac-
cording to Mr. Stevens, that a bill of
sale must be given for every hide pur-
chased, and the hide must he inspected,
vo that some track of it can be kept on
record.
The officers expect as a, result of this
failure on the part of many local hide
buyers that they will be unable to trace
the thieves who have stolen hundreds
of cattl" in tills county and Wilson
County during the last few years.
Sheriff Will Wright has recently dis-
covered that an organized band ot cattle
thieves exists in this section of tlie Stat»»
and that they sell the hides of the ani-
mals stolen and killed.
It is probable that the officers will ir
the near future* take action to enforce a
better compliance with the State laws,
so that i ther thefts can be traced.
PARKS SUFFER.
Fire Department Is Ordered to Water
Brackenridge Park—Other Parks
Get a Wetting.
On account of the prolonged drouth in
this city the cPy parks have been suffer-
ing, and for several days men have been
in the parks every night washing the
dust from the leaves of the trees with
fire hose and watering the grass. For
three weeks a man has watered Milam
Square with a fire hos>? every night, and
with all this wiUr it has been difficult
to keep all the rhrubs and grass fresh
and green.
This is considered one of the most use-
ful parks in the city on account of its
location on the West Side, in a part of
the city where there are hundreds of
little children who have unattractive
back yards and find the park their only
play ground.
The Mayor gave orders yesterday to
the Fire Department that Brackenridge
Park should be given a thorougn wetting
before July 4, when large crowds will
walk over the dry lawn.

PLAN TO BUILD

ROAD FEASIBLE
From Abilene to Rio Grande City

BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB
TO SEEK DELEGATIONS
The statement given out at the Busi-
ness Men's Club in regard to railroad
development, appearing in the Sunday
edition of The Express, has created con-
siderable interest and with a view to se-
curing more definite information relative
to having representatives of the differ-
ent business organizations in Southwest
Texas to meet in San Antonio at the
time of the meeting of representative
people in the territory to be Invaded bv
the proposed railroad, the Secretary was
called on for information as might be in
his possession.
He stated that President Washer has
for some time been considering the ad-
visibility of arranging for representa-
tives of business organizations to meet
in San Antonio for the purpose of con-
sidering questions to insure harmony
of action whereby the development of the
Southwest would be accentuated. In
fact, some correspondence with the lead-
ing organizations has taken place.
If these representatives art requested
to meet with the representatives of sec-
tions interested in the railroad, the
prime object will be the carrying out
of the club's desires, and also to inter-
est the representatives of business or-
ganizations in railroad construction,
which might result in activitv in sec-
tions not now aspiring for railroad de-
\ i lopment.
The Secretary recalls four different
efforts to construct a railroad from San
Antonio to Rio Grande City, and also
efforts in other directions in Southwest
Texas, each of which were abortive,
largely because of a desire on the part
of '.ie promoters to control a franchise
for which a price would be exacted in
investment circles.
Always a Failure.
In each instance time and money was
supplied to secure concessions and
rights of way, and each time a. failure
was registered and the- enthusiasm of
the people was lessened in territory to
be invaded, causing greater difficulty
in arousing an interest in propositions
that followed.
The Secretary believes that it is pos-
sible to organize the counties in which
tin evidences are that railroad construc-
tion would bo profitable and in line
with desirable extensions, each organi-
zation to make itself responsible for
rights of way through its county, in
connection with donations of land and
cj.sh. deeds to be placed in escrow and
all governed by a time limit, to he held
i'i trust until earned by the first com-
pany that constructs a railroad in ac-
cordance with the conditions on which
the rights of way and bonus' are se-
cured.
This proposition has all the elements of
fairness, in the opinion of the Secretary,
and obviates the necessity of the same
plans being made operative to secure
required concessions each time a propo-
sition is made to construct a road. The
Secretary said:
"With deeds, and rights of way and
land donations in escrow, and other do-
nations placed in trust so as to be turned
over when earned, the "tnoneyless pro-
moter, or, if you please, the grub staked
promoter, is relegated to the rear, and
operators with capital desiring to invest
in the new lines of railroad have sim-
ply to canvass the offers made and de-
cide whether or not the proposition is
desirable. The presence of representa-
tives of business associations in South-
vest Texas, besides canvassing matters
to insure unity of action for the de-
velopment of commercial interests, can
decide if they are not included in plans
of the proposed railroads, whether or
not it. will justify them to organize with
a view to securing rights of way and
other donations to be placed in trust,
he ping to attract the attention of capi-
tal and insure at least a connection to
an existing line."
The Secretary further said that there
is no reason why such a meeting of rep-
resentative gentlemen. interested in
railroad construction, and the represen-
tatives of business organizations in
Southwest Texas held in the city of
San Antonio at no very remote date in
the future, should not prove one of the
most important history making assem-
blies in the interest of Southwest Texas
development on record.
FREDERICKSBURG IS READY.
Approves Suggestion of Meeting in In-
terest of a New Railroad and
Will Help.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FHEDEPJCKSBIRQ, Tex.. July 2.—
The suggestion made by the Express
for a general meeting of representatives
from all counties interested in the con-
struction of a line from San Antonio to
Abilene or San Angelo meets with hearty
approval here.
Fredericksburg is ready to attend such
a meeting and co-operate with people
who mean business and can send rep-
resentatives with twenty-four hours' no-
tice. The people of this town have
been ready with material aid to assist
in the construction of a railroad that
would give the people of this county an
outlet for their produce.
In addition to a literal bonus that has
been outstanding for years, the people,
of this county own and have perfect
title to the right «»t way from Freder-
icksburg to a connection with the Aran-
sas Pass Railroad near Waring, and
have graded and almost finished nearly
twenty miles of road bed out of a dis-
tance of only twenty-five miles to the-
railroad on the east.
With making one cut or tunnel on the
route from Fredericksburg to Waring,
the road could be put in condition for
operation at a very small cost and the
people of this county are ready at anv
time to donate it all to any company
that means business. Depot grounds and
right of way in the town will also be
given to the company that will first
construct the road.
The people here can be depended on to
assist liberally in an enterprise of this
kind, and whenever San Antonio. San
Angelo and other intermediate towns
are ready to act, the people here will
promptly co-operate with them.
An empire within itself of as fer-
tile and rich domain as can be found
vdthin the borders of the State is stiil
undeveloped by reason of no transpor-
tation facilities, and it has been a mys-
tery to tne people of this section why
some company has not constructed a
railroad through this section long ago.
