, , By a unanimous expression,
J J City Council of Arlington last Friday
< > night declared its willingness to co-
<, operate with the Commercial Club
J J in the installation of a sewerage sys-
<; tern. Aidermen N_. M. Bushnell and
o J. P. Fielder were appointed to go
J J with the Hon. VV. B. Fitzhugh and
’ 1 Dr. R. B. Spurgeon, the Commercial
< > Club committee, to Brownwood and
’ J Inspect the systems of those cities.
‘ ’ No further action will be taken by
< > either the Club or the Council' until
I the committe has made its investi-
J *, gating trip and filed its report.
"While the club members and
the members of U;e City Council in-
tend to avoid all unnecessary delays,
it is their pur|*ose to make haste by
proceeding with absolute soreness.
Tlie committe will make the trip
to Brownwood and Cleburne this
week. Both cities have recently in-
stalled sewerage systems at a very
moderate cost, and to the satisfac-
tion of the citizens. It is thought
that mtjfh valuable information will
be gained.
Dr. It. B. Spurgeon. Col J. ,\I.
Carlisle. Q. D. King. Jr.. Hon. W. B.
Fitzhugh, and Rev. W. T Thurman
appeared before the Council on the
behalf of the Commercial Club in re-
gard to the sewerage system. This
committee will be maintained by the
Club and will be khpwn as the sani-
tary committee.
The report of the lighting com-
mittee was; heard, and the offer pf
the Northern Texas Traction Co^io
furnish the necessary current, if the
city would furnish the lamps at its
crossings was accepted. In all. nine
lights will bo putnn'THbrig'the Inter-
urban track, covering every cross-
ing within the city limits. The lights
will be put ip within .two weeks.
Arrangements for putting lights at
all principal crossings is In the hands
of the street committee.
Another important matter brought
before the Council was the appoint-
ment^of n city physician. Dr. W.
I! Davis was elected, and will hold
the position for one year It is pro-
posed' that such action be taken as
will give Dr. Davis the right to ex-
amine the children in public schools
for evidences of diseases of the eye.

HIS OWX SEWEKAGR SYSTEM.
G. W. Arnold, living Just east’of
the city, believes in having proper
sanitary conditions about his- place.
To that end he Jias installed a com-
plete water and sewerage system of
his own. Mr. Arnold lived at Arl-
ington a number of years ago, mov-
ing from here to Houston.
When he got back he could not
reconcile himself to doing without
the conveniences which he enjoyed
in Houston, so he went to work and
put in his own water and sewerage
system. A Wind mill. »nd a few
hundred feet of pipe solved the
position.
