SEWER COMMITTEE.
The Meiult cl This Body's Labors - Oppo
sltlon of tho Mayor.
The Sewer Committee met yesterday
In Ibe Mayor's parlor and the clilrfbusl-
ncss of the meeting was to bear the final
rsport from the snli-rommlltee. This
was as follows :
Tn the lion Mr.) nr an I City Council of lliel lty
Gksti.ejif.n: Since tintmlous elites all
over the civilized world llnd It necessary
for the protection of public health to
rirovlde means for the removal of such
njurlous substances as mult necessarily
accumulate wherever many people live 1
closely together the question whether i
r honorable body been submitted to
this committee.
You are no doubt aware that none of
the members of your coiumllteu hnwi
any special knowledge of such matter :
but w. have emleatored to obtain the
best and fullest Information accessible
nnd after careful eonslderntlon we ad-
vise the atlotlon of the system of sewer-
ago proposed by theClly Ktilncerlii his
report of July 'ii lbS5 so fur as It refer
to I lie removal ot sewajre
Storm water unless It fulls In such
quantities as cm not possibly be carried
off by sowers except of excessive sine
has never Injured our town tonilysirl-
nun extent and It Bcnrcely ever remnli.s
on the surface lonjr enough to become
dangerous to publlu health. We can not
therefore at the present time advice the
expenditure of a large sum of money lo
carry It on'. On the other hand e are
iiiitv convinceu tnnt tne neiiiin 01 our
population will be largely benelltted If
we remove the refuse .r ilucllliin com-
monly called sewage and the only lines-
Hon therefore Is whether or not the
benefits to be gained will out w e-l;;h the
cost.
tn Idem ca are now u llcved or ruther
known to originate and spread through
injurious substances or bodies Intro-
duced Into the human body nllh the
food we eat with the water we drink
or with the air we breathe. (loteru-
ment will or should now be railed upon
lo prohibit the adulteration of lood.
therein following the examples nlresdy
set by other civilized countries.
inrougn our excellent system ot
water-works we are amply provided
with as pure and wholesome water as
can be obtained and If we tuccecu In
purifying the air vte breathe ne shall
I ben be as well protected against an un-
due rate of mortality nml ngnlnst epi-
demics In particular us e can possibly
be. Air In densely populated cities Is
contaminated to a serious extent by vari-
ous causes such as the decomposition
of tho excrements of the human body
and In order to purify Iho ulr. suvh
causes of contamination inu.t be re-
moved. It Is true that this city occitpylngstich
a large extent of territory. Is not as yet
very densely populated ; but this condi-
tion of things will change with everv
vacant lot that Is taken up and we would
not gain muck In a pecuniary point of
view while we should certainly lose in
health were we to postpone the. meas-
ures which are now contemplated unil
which sooner or later must surely be
adopted.
To sewer the entire city would In our
opinion be too great an undertaking at
the present time.
When gas was first Introduced hero a
beginning was made with the central
parts of t lie city ; so was the centre ofthe
city llrst provided with water from the
Waterworks and so should It be with
the sewerage. From tho gas anil water
llrst provided for the centre tho outly.
Ing portions of the city although they
were taxed can scarcely be said lo have
derived any direct benellt.
Whereas eiddemic. although most apt
to originate in the more densely popula-
ted parts of town are certain to spread
to the suburbs nnd If we nolil uu epi-
demic by cewerlngthe centre the entire
population would nae been benelited
And there are other advantages tn be
shared In by all.
Our city has herelofore been looked
upon as a resort of health sought'annual-
ly by hundreds of Individuals and peo-
ple of delicate health from all parts of
the country; but the want of sewerage
Is now by very many believed lo out-
weigh Ihe advantages of our balmy cli-
mate and If we do not build sewers our
city will soon ceae to be looked upon as
particularly healthy. Let us build them
and people of means of delicate health
or wearied of the winters ofthe North
will continue to come In Increased num-
bers; many of them to stay to invest
their means to occupy our vacant
houses or to give employment to our
mechanics In building houses of their
own. and soon to help us to bear that
burden whloh we shall hnvo laid upon
ourselves to Induce them to come.
It Is therefore to be hoped that those
who do not happen to reside on the
streets now proposed to be sewered
will not on that account refuse to be
taxed In a moderate extent only na we
shall show hereafter.
As lo the system of sewerage lo be
adopted. It Is clearly Indicated hy na-
ture as long as sewage cannot be util-
ized it must be carried Into the San An-
tonio river.
Running water as It is well known
purities Itself and In the opinion of this
committee the sewage ofthe city can be
discharged Into the river nt some suit-
able point below the populated part of
town without detriment or danger lo
any one.
Jlut In order to be able to .utilize sew-
age hereafter should It be thought ad-
visable Ibe city If sewerage Is adopted
should at onoe acquire not less than 20U
acres of land conveniently located near
the point of discharge.
We therelore advise the building of
the three mains and all the lateral sewers
recommended In the above-mentioned
report of the City Engineer and more
plainly to be seen on Ibe maps accom-
panying said report. The total cost of
said system of sewers including the re-
pairing of Walnut street ditch and the
overflow on Grand avenue Is. In said re-
Eort estimated at $330670. It may.per-
aps more safely be estimated at Ihe
round sum of $3oO(XlO This sum we
take It for granted can be borrowed at n
rate of Interest not exceeding 0 per cent
per annum and If i per cent. Is set aside
annually for a sinking fund Ihe Interest
and sinking fund In all requires 8 per
cent on $3.V)W) which is JiO.OOO per
The quantity of water required lo
Hush tin ae sewers Is In a subsequent re-
port or the Uty Knglneer estimated at
30000 gallons per day and the Han An-
tonio Water-works Company engages to
furnish for sewerage purposes as much
as 4(0000 gallons dally If required
charging onecent for each ICO gallons on
any quantity not exceeding 100.000 per
day and one-half of one oent per hun-
dred gallons for what may be used over
100000 gallons; for .10000 gallons the
city therefore wonld have to pay 13
per day or very nearly $1 Hal per annum. 1
The annual expense to the city wonld
therefore be $2U0O and $1100 or S?J-
100 In all which could be met by a
special tax of SO cents on $100 yielding
$30000 on the present assessment of 1
fully Jl.VOOtKH). Ilesldes this sum to
be raised annually by taxation there
would of course be nn additional ex-
pense to bo borne by all those own- 1
Ing buildings within the district
to be senered. Kadi of these build- .
Ings would have to be connected with
Ihe setters at an expense of from $W lo
i 75. At any rate that has been Ihe cost
of connection at Memphis Tcnn. and
I lie CI I y Knglneer assures us that they
will not cost more here.
The cost of staler to private consum-
ers we arc Informed Is nt present 10
cents per month on each and every
water chisel hill In the ill'ir.ct proposed
In bn sewered the Cltv Assessor reports
Ihere are now over 3300 buildings and If
the WnterWnrk Company would re-
duce the above charge to 2 cents per
month their Income would eren then be
Increased by folly f () per menlli from
thai source alone.
Vour committee earnestly hope the
Water-Works Company will consent tn
make tho above nduc'tlnn and that In
that case the system of sewers herein
propositi will be carried by a handsome
majority Very respectfully.

road has called a complete cessation of
of work In every part ofthe Morgaa pos-
sessions In Algiers. No freight trains
go out and laboiers will neither dis-
charge or load steamships at the wharf.
The general manngorof Morgan's Louis-
iana and Texas Itallrosd and Steamship

but wait for events In shape themselves.
He had telegraphed to New York to
stop all shipments of freights by steam-
ships of this line. The Southern I'uclllo
Ilallroad Company has Issued notice to
shippers that no fielght would be re-
ceived at Morgan's depot for shipment
owing to Interference of strikers. The.
notice states this measure will be en-
forced until the strike Is over as trains
cannot be moved without being arbi-
trarily slopped nt Gretna and other
points.

ALDERMANI0 QUESTION.
A Lijht Reporter Interviews Mr John
H. Copeland
A Liiuir reporter Interviewed ex-AI-dcrman
John II. Copcland on the alder-
manic question with the follow lug re-
sult :
Heporler. How la It that you nre ac-
credited with Hie agitation of the aider-
tnanlo question ?
Coneland. The credit IT any there he
does not tightly belong to me. Some
months ago 1 heard that certain alder-
men Intended to hold over under the
amendments to the city charter. As 1
had only a short while before been
gaged In a contest Involving the same
question my Interest became nt once
amused. Meeting Mayor Callaghan and
Alderman (lallagtier 1 referred to the
report and suggested that. In order to
prevent trouble the question ouirht to
be determined. A few days later Aldtr-
man Connor spoke to inn on the subject
and then followed the nubile dlicusslon.
It. Would )ou sut lit! stating jour po-
sition? C.-ir I do. It will be with dimdence
ns I do not affect that profound knowl-
edge ofthe law which would enable me
with a wave or the band to settle and
dismiss momentous public questions.
llrleUy slated in) position Is this :
First. J hat Ibe amendments to the
Charier by lair and legal construction
do not extend the terms or Aldermen
which expired In January lSSH;thu only
reasonable Implication being that this
new method or election therein pro-
vided shall begin lis operation on Ihe
first Monday In February 1S37 and that
the duration or the olnclal terms of all
Aldermen elected under the provisions
of the old Charter shall then terminate;
that tho provisions or the old Charter
remain In force unless In confllat with
the amendments are expressly repealed
thereby will go unquestioned by law-
yers. Second. All laws thai Impair the oli.
ligation of contracts are '.y the Consti-
tution of the L'nited .Stales declared
void and our courts uniformly hold that
a grant Is n contract executed. Our owu
Stale Constitution expressly Inhibits
ex post facto and retroactive laws:
such laws nre dellnedtobe those govern-
ing and controlling past transactions
whether they be of a civil or criminal
nature therefore assuming that the
Legislature unequivocally expressed In
the amendments to our Chatter their In-
tention to extend the terms of the said
Aldermen such provisions would be
both ex post facto nnd retroactive and
hence null and void.
Third Our honerable and learned
Major calls our attention tothat clause
ofthe charter which provides that all
otllcers shall hold over until their suc-
cessors are elected and qualllled. There
Is also such a clause In our Stnte consti-
tution. If our worthy mayor and those
who entertain his views will refer to the
latest and best authorities they will llnd
that It has been construed not to apply
to olllcers whoso duty It Is to order the
election of their own successors and
that they cannot found a valid title or
right to hold over upon their own neg-
lect of dulv.
Four. If the members of the Hoard of
Aldermen whose terms expired in Jan-
uary '18S0 ; bold over ;a dangerous
precedent will bo established nnd future
administrations will be encouraged to
follow the examples of the pnst centu-
ries and continue In oflloe forllfeby rail-
ing and refusing to order election or
their successors.
Fifth. I insist that the right or the
people to representatives rresh from Ihe
people should be very Jealously guard-
ed and. In the language of the highest
court (see Wright versus Adams 4.'i
Texas lieport page 1I0-1U). "When
Iho duration or term ol an olltce which
is tilled by popular election Is a ques-
tion of doubt or uncertainty the Inter-
pretation Is to be followed which limits
It to the shortest time and returns to
the people at the earliest period the
power and authority lo rellll It."
Sixth. Finally It seems to me that n
true repiiDiicau or urmocratia spirit
would deter nnv man from wlshlnir to
hold an olllce beyond the term for which
he was electi d at a popular election; and
all good citizens should demand that
audi a spirit shall always be manifested
by their otllclnls.
Union Meetings.
There was n crowded house again to
hear Mr. L'rown last evening nt the
Avenue O M. K. Church The servlcei
took the form of Illble readings some-
thing rather new to San Antonio audi-
ences. The passages of Scripture read
by dlllercnt ones In the audience bear-
ing ou the history and operations of the
Holy Spirit were: Zacharlah 4 und 0
(len.l-'J John 10-8 John 3-0 2d I'eter
1 -2l.Uai.S-2l and 22 Isaah CT-1 Luke
11-13 ltev. 3-20.
Anyone who will carefully read tho
verses will llnd how beauttrully thev Il-
lustrate the subject on which the speaker
dwelt. Mr. Ilrown'splan Is to take only
one thought each evening and aim
to Impress It upon his hearers so as
never to be forgotten and seems to be
successful In doing It. The choir organ-
ized for the convention beginning the
SSlli Instant hns wonderfully Improved
but there Is still room for more good
singers. It Is to bo hoped that San An-
tonio will not be found dellclent as
compared with other cities in the State
In the matter of music. Members of
the choir are entitled lo tickets good
for all the meetings of the convention.
Another of these Interesting Bible read-
Ingsoccur this evening at the same time
nud place viz: 7:30 for workers; 7:15 for
the choir and 8 o'clock for the general
services the singers remaining and fur-
nishing the music.

Wall Street Story.
It was a New York capitalist that
flung $1000 at one of bis sons a year ago
and said :
"There It Is and It l the last dollar
you'll get from me. You don't know
enough tn pound salt. Speculation!
Why you hnven't sense enough to buy
and ship eggs."
The other day the old man went down
to Florida to see about a 3000-acre tract
of land he bad purchased at $3 an acre
for nn orange grove. He went to the
headquarters of "The Coocbeboohee
Orange Drove Estate Agency" and he
found that his son was President. Secre
tary Treasurer nnd sole owner. Half
an nour later ue uiscovereu tuai nts auuu
acres raised alligators Instead of oranges
nnd that the boy bad cltared about $b000
in tue single transaction.
