Tho recent orgnnlnatloa of newcomert

determined not to mi outdone when it
comes to organizing
Two oldtimers Messrs Fred Sebwclk

denly dawned upon them to got up nu or-
ganization among tho oldllmcra Not to

working days nro over We have ull sponi
our beat days In working for Houston and
are now entitled to n rest Some of m
have gotten rich and tome poor but We all
lovo tho old town wo have seen grow from
lis Infancy
The outcome of thl conversation was
that Messrs Mtehcii and Schwelknrt de-
cided to get up an oldtimers organization
tho eligibility ot membership being that
nolle Can becomo a member unless ho has
lived In HouUon for forty years or over
No sevenyear kids need apply
With this In view 11 list has already
been started with n lot of names arranged
nccoidlng to their seniority ot residence
When tho list fa tilled a meeting will be
called with the vlow of arranging for a
diiyni > utlng at alt the oldtimers uLo In
this way will bo brought together In pleas-
ant Mrlal Intercourse to exchange experi-
ences that go bank a half century
Such a meeting would bo not only plea
ant but profitable as a means ot collecting
mid perpetuating from the old InndraarkB
who still live and may not be with no much
longer reminiscences and scraps of local
history that hnvo probably never before
been imbllshcrt

The llefeetH In h7AiilinH Pavement
W pe Aittl Ipi t l
The letter published in Tho Post n fow
days ngo said City Engineer ttucrlnger
to a Post reporter ycUorday complaining
of tho holes in the now asphalt pavement
being placed ln tho Fifth ward docs the
contractors nn injustice in this Hint before
placing the section ot pavement In which
aro tho defects complained of the contrac-
tors stated to mo that they were placing
this section of tho pavement simply to mret
tho public clamor ot getting acros3 tha
bridge that the work would hnvo to bo
done under such advene climatic condi-
tions during a cold rain that they wero
satisfied that tho pnvcniont or rUhor the
surfacing would havo to bo takeu up and
replaced nnd they nsked me If they should
go on with tho work with this understand
lc that It would be but n temporary sur-
facing to meet tho pressing and Immediate
demands for travel and would not stand
I told them to suit their pleasure in
the matter and they Inld this temporary
section ot pavement at their own expense
with the avowed intention before putting
It down of having to replace it
The defects occurred just as tboy an
ticipated
I nm not nn advocate of asphalt pavo
ment but I mako this statemciit simply In
tho interest ot Justice
