In discussing the proposition of wa-
ter meter rents this morning Com-
missioner Shay of the waterworks and
sewer department stated that he and
Superintendent A. M. Burgess would
have a report to mak'e on the matter
at the first meeting of the board in
January.
Some time ago Alex Gomez appeared
before the board and requested that
the board take some action in the mat-
ter of limiting the amount to be paid
for water meters which were installed
by the city. In this instance he stat-
ed that he had b’een paying the sum
of twenty-five cents per month until
he had separated himself from a total
of $15, which was considerably more
than the meter costg at first. More
than this, he stated that h'e was still
paying the twenty-five cents per month
and thought that there should be a
time when these payments should be
stopped. The proposition to the board
was that the person owning the prop-
erty where the meter was installed
pay until it was paid for and then
that it become the property of the in-
dividual.
Commissioner Shap stated this morn-
ing that since that time he had secured
the methods of handling business of
this kind from many of the cities of
the country and that from the data
contained in these reports he hoped to
secure suggestions which will settle
the question involved. He did not say
what the nature of the report would
be. but intimated that it would be
worked out on scientific lines and
would be satisfactory to all concerned.
The Man Who Neglects Himself.
When his condition points to kidney
trouble takes an unwise risk. Back-
ache, pain and soreness over the kid-
neys, nervous or dizzy spells, poor sleep,
are all symptoms that will disappear
with the regular use of Foley Kidney
Pills. They put the kidneys and blad-
der in a clean, strong and healthy con-
dition, and rheumatic pains, stiff joints,
lumbago and irregular bladder action
are all relieved promptly when Foley
Kidney Pills are talsen.

Superintendent J. M. Fendley of the
Galveston county schools announces
that the examinations for teachers’ cer-

Saturday next. The state superinten-

for the examinations, but it will be
given to the press before the time ar-
rives. The examinations for permanent
certificates will take place Thursday
if there are any applicants. All exami-

A remarkable statement by Mr. Hoo-

more cheaply here than it can be th'ere.

The proposed bonds, as in the case
of those issued for the erection of a

bear interest at 5 per cent per annum

The result is that all occupations are
over-crowded and when-a man does se-
cure a position he does not get a liv-
ing wage. .
Although taking a pessimistic view
of the cities of the Argentine Repub-
lic. Mr. Hoosier believes strongly in
the future of the country. There is
need of development, he says. The
cities are crowded and it is only a
little way into the interior befor'e you
come into a country that is not devel-
oped at all. There is practically no in-
dustry in the interior but that of cat-
tle raising, and there are untold thou-
saids of miles that have n'ever had a
'fence, and some country that has
never been explored. The cattle indus-
try is being developed by Americans
and Englishm'en, and it is a land of
fine opportunity for the ambitious for-
eigner.
Mr. Hoosier is a native of Texas, and
has returned for the purpose fo re-
visiting the land of his birth.

to thos'e raised in this country,” said
Mr. Claud Hooshier, ranchman of Ar-
gentine who is stopping at the Pana-
ma for a few days. “The scrub cattle
picked out of a thousand head would
be enough to take to a fair in this
country, and they would take the
prizes. The stock is fatter and is
larg’er down there than the product of
the United States. Yet they do not
, Standing as a constant reminder
to those who frequent the streets last
night; to the thirsty individual who
dreads to- see the hour of 9.30 ap-
proach; to the nearby housewife who
is guided as to what hour to put on
h'er bread; to the children who go to
school, and to the business man who
must arrive and leave the office or
the store at a certain time, the clock
on the City Hall, which has been click-
ing away 'for years, last night went on
a spree. As a result of that spree,
which lasted, until about noon today,
many of the dollar watches, alarm
blocks and other timepieces in the city
have been doing a little over time in
the matter of ke’eping up with the
examples set by the sturdy old regu-
lator.
“What on earth is ailing that clock
or me?” said a sleepy looking individ-
ual as the hammer tolled out the hour
of 10 when the hands pointed to 8.
Another fellow, or better say a doz-
en who could not see the face of the
timepiece on the city hall, pulled out
their Waterburys and chased the
hands around a.couple of hours. Some
of th’e thirst set made for home, since
the “bewitching hour” had passed, and
tereby lost and hour . and thirty min-
utes good drinking tim'e. Mothers
hastened the children to bed and the
over-worked business man grabbed his
hat and coat and beat it for his car
thinking of what kind of a tale he
would tell his wife for being out late.
As the hands of the clock rounded
out 8.30 the hammer pealed off the hour
of 11. The passerby looked on in
lamazement and the sturdy old time-
teller put both hands before his face in
shame when it found that the work-
ing gear was making it out a liar. But
the spree went on and midnight came
when the saloons closed; it was 3
o’clock when the shows wer’e over; the
people were scattering here and there
when they thought they should have
be'en on the streets, yet the story-
telling clock went on.
As the morning came and the bus-
tle of the streets come on, it was seen
that the clock showed the hour past
noon. Then it thr'ew up its hands as
if giving the grand hailing sign of
distress of the Midnight Sons of Leis-
ure. and gave up the ghost. It has
been repaired, but yet looks ashamed
of the work of last night.
Group and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it attack's
children so suddenly they are very apt
to choke unless given the proper rem-
edy at once. There is nothing better
in the world than Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. Lewis Chamberlain, of Man-
chester, Ohio, writes about his chil-
dren: “Sometimes in severe attacks we
were afraid they would die, but since
we proved what a certain remedy Dr.
King’s New Discovery is, we have no
fear. We rely on it for croup, coughs
and colds.” So can you. 50c and $1.00.

Among the propositions to issue
$900,000 worth of bonds for municipal
betterments, a matter which will be
finally settled by the qualified taxpay-
ing voters of the city at the polls next
Tuesday, none is receiving more en-
couragement, and certainly none is
more deserving than the matter of is-
suing bonds for betterment of the pub-
lic school system of the city.
The board'of trustees have had the
matter of securing grounds and build-
ing and equiping school buildings un-
der consideration for the past several
years, and it was after mature deliber-
ation by the members of this board af-
ter they had conferred with numerous
residents, that they decided to ask the
board of city commissioners to amend
the city charter so bonds to the amount
of $200,000 could be issued for the Im-
provement of the Galveston public
schools. Accordingly the action was
taken and the question to be voted upon
is whether or not the taxpayers of the
city will issue this amount of bonds
for the purpose of buying site, erecting,
enlarging, repairing and equiping
school buildings in the city of Galves-
ton.
Certainly, in the minds of those who
have been watching the phenominal
growth of the public schools during the
past thr ee or four years, there can be
no question that something must be
done in the matter of providing more
buildings for the school children of the
city. Nor can there be any doubt in
the minds of any conservative person.
that there is a crying need of grounds
and equipment.
The present condition of the schools
of the city can be seen by any person
who has the time to pay a visit. It
can be seen that there is not enough
room to accommodate more than two-
thirds of the pupils who apply for ad-
mittance. So crowded are the school’s
that it is necessary for double daily
sessions, to be held in order that chil-
dren in the scholastic age may have
the benefit of any school at all. And
with this arrangement the students are
crowded to such extent that good work
or results are not by any means cer-
tain.
It is urged that the pupils of the
Galveston public schools have a right
to six hours schooling every day dur-
ing the session, and that they can not
secure the same because of the fact
that there is no room to house them,
At the Ball high school is an excel-
lent example of the conditions which
exist in almost every school in the
city. Here the board of trustees have
provided an annex by renting at sev-
eral hundred dollars per year a resi-
dence which has been fitted up as best
they could for school purposes. There
should be an enlargement of the Ball
high school in order that those who
reach the grades taught here might
have the very best of attention.
In several other buildings the pupils
are found crowded to almost standing
room. In many places more than twice
the number which should be alloted to
one teacher is found in one room, peg-
ging away at their books under dif-
ficult circumstances. These buildings
need enlarging and repairng.
RELIEF POSSIBLE.
With the issuance of the proposed
$200,000 worth of bonds it is stated that
two or three buildings could be erect-
ed in desirous sections of the city, the
present buildings enlarged and equip-
ped and grounds bought to properly
care for the pupils of the schools for
several years. It is pointed out that
the growth while phenominal, is con-
tinuing from year to year and that the
time has about arrived when there
must be a dwelling rented near every
building or refuse to permit children
to enter schools. The board has said
with the superintendent that play-
grounds are needed and that more room
must be obtained in some manner.
