THE WATERWORKS QUESTION.
The committee on water supply asked for
further time in which to report upon the new
contract with the Waterworks company.
Alderman Mitchell said he did no; think the
cotrmitteo meant business at all. Some were
piejudiced in favor of delay, and he had his
business to attend to aud wanted to submit a
minority report.
Alderman Grotligar took umbrage at Alder-
man Mitchell's insinuation as to some of the
committee being prejudiced.
Alderman Fabey said tbe cause of delay of
tbe committee was tho absence of the city
attorney from their meeting.
Several aldermen suggested that the coun-
cil go into a committee of the whole to act
upon ibe contract.
Alderman Washington said he had not seen
a copy of tha contract, and could not discuss
the matter intelligently. He favored grant-
ing the committee further time.
Alderman Cuney made the point that there
was no report at all from the water supply
committee, hence a minority report was out
of order.
Aldermen Hc-fl'ron and Smith favored having
the minority report read.
Alderman Smith raised tbe point that the
committee was instructed at the last meeting
to report at the present meeting.
Alderman Grothgar held that a report ask-
ir.jt for further time was a report, an l in this
view lie was sustained by the mayor.
On the vote to grant th9 committee further
time, until Mouday at 4 p. m , the vote stood—
yeas 0, nays G. The mayor decided the ques-
tion by voting in the affirmative, and the coun-
cil adjourned.
Mitchell's minority report.
Tbe follow ing is a copy of the minority re-
port offered by Alderman Mitchell:
To the Hon. K. L. Fulton, Mayor, and City
Council—Gentlemen: The undersigned mem-
ber of the committee on water supply, to whom
was referred for consideration the now con-
tract for water supply proposed by the Gal-
veston Water company, respectfully submit
the following independent report:
I favor the adoption by the city of the new
contract proposed for the following reasons:
1. Tte great need of the city of Galveston
is a supply of fresh water.
It is evident now that this will not and can
not ba obtained under the old contract.
All that the city can expect to gain by de-
manding compliance with the terms of the
old contract is the possible recovery of the
penalty of $1000 per month after the 1st of
Maicb, 1885.
This can not be recovered, if at all, save by
long and expensive litigation, of which this
city has had enough.
The defense of the Water company is basjd
on the ground that the clause of tha old con-
tract t:ranting exemption from taxation for
twenty-five years (which is a most valuable
franchise), is a port, and a most material part
eif the consideration upon which the contract
was made; that exemption so promised is un-
constitutional, beyond the power of the city
council, and impossible of enforcement.
If this be correct, the city can not enforce
tbe contract, and litigation will be fruitless.
2. if the enforcement of the contract be de-
manded, then, pending litigation, the city
could not enter into a contract with new par-
ties to tupply fresh water. It is far more im-
portant that fresh water bo procured a3 pro-
vided by tbe te-iins of the new contract than
tLat the city shall recover the penalty of $1000
per month under the old contract, after years
of litigation.
3. In the new contract proposed, th£ Water
company abandons its claim to exemption
from taxation, and promises to introduce
fiesh water into the city within one year from
date. 1 be work is to be speedily commenced.
Tbe penalty end forfeiture provided incase of
failure therein is the surrender to the city of
I he present system of salt waterworks com-
plete, valued at $80,000.
3. In the present condition of the laboring
classes of the city tbe beginning of tha work is
important. The summer Is fast coming on,
end work glows scarce and wages cheaper.
Tfce commincement of this work aai tha
prosecutn n of u will speedily causa a J^reaf
deiraud for labor and furnish employment to
many who now Buffer for want of something
to do.
1 he demand Is great upon the city to com-
mence works of Improvement In order to fur-
nish employ ment to needy aud suffering men
who depend upon daily labor for their sup-
rnt
Tho commencement of this work will fur-
nith the means of employment aud save the
eity from an expense that it is hardly able to
bear in this time of financial depression.

A Man Meeting.
TnB News special from Austin yesterday
announcing tbe probable passage of the charter
amendment bill and tbe postponement of the
coming city election till June, created a great
deal of comment upen the street and met with
a very pronounced opposition, naturally on
the part of those who are candidates for elec-
tion and who have already gone to some ex-
pense in whooping things up. Those who are
opposed to the passage of the amendments
have engineered a mass meeting to be held
this evening on Ball square for the purpose of
giving an expression to their opinions.

ITo The Newe.l
Galvhston, February 19, 1885.—A great
deal bas been said and much written upon tbe
ubject of unemployed labor in Galveston,
and 1 have not yt»t seen any practical recom-
mendation that has been suggested, and the
laborers are still waiting, like Micawber, for
something to turn up to give them work, or
they aro patiently waiting for the tardy action
of tbe state legislature to give the city authori-
ty to issue $100,000 worth of bonds for street
improvements which, if they get, would be
but a drop in the bucket. To put the streets
of Galveston in a proper ranitary condition
would require millions of dollars in money
ar.d years of time to oomplete the work.
The Blleys are private property and the city
authorities have by right the power to order
tbem paved at the property owners' expsnse;
and it is their duty, as it should be their
pleasure, to give this matter their prompt at-
tention. Tbe alleys have always betn a heavy
expense to the city. It will be safe to say that
over $2 500,000 have been spent for sand dur-
ing the twenty years that has elapsed since
tbe close of the war. Three-fifths of this
amount was paid for sand to fill the alleys, a
laige part of which was again carted off with
the trash and filtb when cleaning them. Look
at the condition of the alleys from
Eighteenth street to Bath avenue and
between Broadway and Strand. Take
for a special cxamplo tbe alley-way
from Twenty-first street to Tremont, between
Mechanic street and tbe Strand, during any
spell of bad weather, aud you will find oozing
out of the ground a bad-smelling and dirty-
• looking fluid, dangerous in a sanitary point of
view. Another serious subject for considera-
tion is the seepage into tbe ground ot this con-
taminating fluid. Cape May and Atlantic
City, in New Jersey, are located, like Galves-
ton, on the seashore, aud both have suffered
very seriously from this cause, and they are
now spending large sums of money to try and
cure the serious evil that might have been
avoided by a little care in the beginning. Let
ub take warning by their neglect, and By pro- •
per action now, save health and money in try-
ing to restore to our oity what has been lost by
our neglect and tardiness. The pave nent for
the alleys should be of the best kind and per-
fectly water-tight, in fact a perfect roof that
would prevent all moisture from penetrating
through. Such a pavement would require a
very little expenditure to keep cleaH, as every
ruin would wash away all refuse matter that
might accumulate, and necessarily reduce the
coBt to the lowest minimum as compared with
thecostnow. With the proper sanitary ar-
rangements, there is no doubt that Galveston
would be the healthiest'city in the Southwest.

Knocked Out by One Small Parrot.
[gan Francisco Post.]
It was in a New York bar-room the other
day tbat a " prominent Californian" was tell-
ing a group of awestruck listeners how hit
partner had just telegraphed that he had
struck a $000 per ton lead in the Sary Jane
mine, when a parrot behind the bar yelled:
" Drv up, you old fraud."
"I-I(
_ _ didn't know there was another 'Frisoo
man present," stammered the P. C., and he
slid out.
