THE CITY COUNCIL.
IV!. Lasker's Petition for Relief From
Unjust Taxation Causes
Discussion.
THE CASE OF OFFICER DICK.
It Was Found That the City Council Had No
Jurisdiction—Oratory Wa-.ted Over Re-
ports of Committee Chairmen.
The board of aldermen of the city of
Galveston met yesterday at 4 p. m., with
Mayor A. W. Fly in the chair and Alder-
men Baudenon, Gallagher, Gruetzmacher,
Harrington, Harris, Henderson, Jaques,
Levy, Reppen, Sihreiber, Webber, Wegner
and Williams present.
The minutes of the regular meeting of
January 'SI and of the special meeting to
canvass the vote of the special election
were read and approved.
The first business of the council was the
granting to Mr. Gus Lewy the privilege
of addressing the council regarding a pe-
tition which would later be brought before
the body. The petition was from M. Las-
ker, regarding assessment of his personal
property. The petition set forth that the
city assessor had arbitrarily fixed the
amount at $25,000; that lie did not own any
personal property; that the $25,000 was as-
sessed against stocks and bonds, which
were taxable from other sources. There
had been some discussion over the matter.
Assessor Jennett told the council that
Mr. Lasker had been notified to appear
before the board of equalization, but that
he ha<l not done so, and that the rolls had
been signed by Mr. Lewy, who appeared
for Mr. Lasker. Mr. Lewy claimed that
there was a mistake, and he wanted to
know if the council could not correct it.
Alderman Gruetzmacher said that he
was a member of the board of appraise-
ment one year, and the only kick they had
came from a man who had too much
money. Assessor Jennett was a sworn of-
ficer, and had done his duty. Those who
have accumulated property should pay for
the privilege. The little fellows never
made a kick.
Alderman Jaques echoed the sentiments
of Alderman Gruetzmacher. He moved
that the action of the city assessor be con-
curred In.
The mayor stated that the motion could
b'i put later when the petition was before
the body.
Later on the petition of Mr. Lasker was
read, asking to be relieved of the arbitrary
taxation of the auditor. The assessor said
that the attack was personal upon him, and
was without any foundation whatever. He
had not acted arbitrarily. Mr. Lasker had
been offered every opportunity to come
before the board if he felt himself ag-
grieved, but he had not done so.
Alderman Harris made a tight for jus-
tice, and said that if Mr. Lasker's stocks
and bonds had been assessed once they
could not assessed again.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
council over the matter was brought up,
and City Attorney Ballinger was asked his
opinion. He asked if the rolls, as signed,
hail been approved by the council, and
when told that they had, then said that
the council had lost Its jurisdiction.
Alderman Henderson V*aid he would like
to speak a word in behalf of Mr. Lewy.
Mr. Lewy was a city official, and he be-
lieved that he was trying to do his duty.
He was satisfied that lie was conscientious,
and h«- would like the matter referred back
for readjustment.
Alderman Williams spoke of other com-
plaints that had been made and wanted
the matter referred to the city attorney.
The final disposition of the matter, after
considerable oratory had been turned loose,
was to refer it back to the board of equal-
ization, the city assessor and the city en-
gineer.
The petition of the La Porte, Houston
and Northern railway for a right of way
over avenue B for itself or its successors,
the Galveston, La Porte and Houston, in
order to get to its freight depot grounds
and terminal facilities, was read. Alder-
man Harris moved tha't it be referred to
the ordinance committee. Alderman Jaques
moved that it be referred to the committee
on streets and alleys and to the city at-
torney. The motion of Alderman Harris
prevailed, with the amendment that the
city attorney and the city engineer be
added.
Petition of J. Timmner, John C. Trube
and fifty others against a higher school
tax rate. They believe the present tax suf-
ficient, and that the pay of salaried officers
is too high. They also believe that there
should be no free schooling to pupils over
L8 years of age.
Alderman Gruetzmacher upheld the pres-
ent system of schools and said that the
school trustees were doing their duty. The
report was received.
Statement of Ricker, Lee & Co., submit-
ting interest account to January, 1895, also
calling the attention of the council to a
communication of December 17, 1894, which
set forth the amount of paving completed,
that the account was long past due and
asking that it be paid.
Alderman Harris moved the adoption of
the resolution instructing the collector to
collect the assessments. City Attorney Bal-
linger stated that after a contract the city
should be given a reasonable time to pay
before an account could draw interest. The
resolution was adopted.
Alderman Harrington requested to be ex-
cused because he did not feel well. On
motion of Alderman Henderson the request
was granted, and A Merman Harrington
left the council chamber.
Communication of Chief Wegner of the
fire department regarding the condition of
engine house No. 5, which he stated needed
repairs very badly. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on public property,
with power to act.
Report of T. D. Gilbert, collector, for
January, 1895, showing $70,580.44 city taxes
collected; also his report of the school
taxes collected for the same period, $6118.12.
Referred to 'the finance committee.
Report of Jerry Lordan, chief of police,
showing $532.25 fines and costs and pound
fees collected for January. Referred to the
finance committee,
Report of D. J. Buckley, secretary of the
board of commissioners of the waterworks,
stating estimate of work done by J. W.
Byrnes & Co.. $106,238.10, and asking an ap-
propriation for same. The report was
adopted.
Report of D. J. Buckley, secretary of the
water commissioners, showing $2,751.65 col-
lections made during January. Referred
to the finance committee.
Report of the city treasurer for the
month of January, showing cash on hand
amounting to $700,294.21. Referred to the
finance committee.
Report of E. K. Marrast, secretary of the
board of public works, submitting esti-
mates for paving Twenty-fifth street, from
Mechani" to Church, and Twentieth street,
from Postoffice to avenue f, and recom-
mending that th<' paving on Twenty-fifth
street be immediately begun. Discussion
was entered into as to the exact reading
of the report, it having been at first read
"Twenty-fifth street, from Mechanic to
Postofiice streets."
Alderman Harris moved that that part of
the report referring to the paving of Bath
avenue be adopted. The motion was
changed to adopt the report and urge the
work of paving Bath avenue from Me-
chanic to Church at once.
Alderman Levy moved that the board of
public works be authorized to advertise for
bids for the paving at once. Carried.
Report of W. L. Hallonquist, city en-
gineer department board of public works,
showing $12,865.68 expended lor paving, and
asking an appropriation therefor. Report
adopted and appropriation made.
Report of W. L. Hallonquist, department
streets and alleys, for month of January,
$1763.29. Referred to the finance committee.
Resolution of Alderman Harris that the
reports of the city engineer for grading
and paving Twenty-fourth street, avenue
A, south to alley, in all one-half block and
intersections, be hereby adopted and ap-
proved, and said amounts to lie imposed,
levied and assessed against all abutting
property owners of lots or fractional lots
respectively; and be it further resolved,
that the said assessment roll be turned
over to the city attorney for collection, and
shall be a lien upon the property until
pa'd. The resolution was adopted.
Report of Auditor Maurice Gros on pay
rolls and bills for August* 1&&4, amounting
to $23/(37.95, approved by the finance and
rev.-mi. . ..mmltfee, and asking for an ap-
propriation for same. The report was
adopted and an appropriation made.
Report of finance and revenue committee
on report of auditor on pay rolls and bills,
new waterworks construction, for January,
amounting to $107,224.03, and asking an ap-
propriation therefor. Report adopted.
The report of Dr. Win. Gammon, super-
intendent of the John Scaly hospital,
printed In The News of Sunday, approved
by the board, was referred to the commit-
tee on hospital and health.
City Attorney T. J. Halllnger made two
reports. One was of collections made from
September 6 to October 1 of $401, less $40.10
commission. This was adopted. The other
sh"wed $2531.70 delinquent taxes collected
;tn i iurned o?tr and his bill of $253.17 for
the same. The report was received and
adopted and the matter of the 10 per cent
clafm referred to the finance committee as
a matter of form.
The city attorney reported that he had
the milk ordinance ready, but the Illness of
Mderman Schmidt, chairman of the or-
dinance committee, prevented the matter
being reported at once.
The city attorney also reported regarding
the suspension of the patrolman, Dick,
from the force, which had been referred to
Id in to investigate. He found that the
debts for which Dick had been suspended,
<34.35 was for groceries and the rest for
house rent, the whole amounting to about
$60. That the debts were not for police
clothing, and were not fraudulently ob-
tained, and that had he been paid his
wages In full he would have been able to
ii r." paid iM" bill:-. As Dick waived any
claims he had against the city by reason
of his suspension he recommended that he
be reinstated.
The mayor and Alderman Henderson said
that they as members of the police board
were under the impression that a debt for
uniforms was not yet settled. Mr. Tiernan,
counsel for I>lck, said that that matter had
been amicably settled.
Then the question was raised whether or
not the council had the right to Interfere
in a matter where the police board was
concerned. Mr. Ballinger said that that
question had not been proposed to him.
He had simply been asked as to rule No. 4.
The object of the law in creating the po-
lice commission was to take from the city
council all such matters. After reading
the section of the charter bearing upon
the subject, he said that it explained It-
self; that there was no appeal from the
commission to the council.
Mayor Fly arose from his chair, and,
formally addressing the council, stated
that he thought a law rendering police-
men subject to suspension by reason of
debt and not applying to other city officers
was unjust. The law, however, was there,
and he was trying to carry out its provis-
ions. He wanted a decision on the matter.
As long as the law was there he would
have to cast his vote against the officer.
Alderman Harris moved that the board
reinstate Dick.
Mayor Fly stated that if the council
should adopt the city attorney's opinion,
believing that Dick would thereby be re-
instated, he would have to veto it on the
ground that the council had no jurisdic-
tion.
After considerable discussion and more
law on the subject, Alderman Harris re-
newed his motiop.
The matter was finally disposed of by
recommending to the police commission
that fs soon as they thought advisable
they should reinstate Dick.
Alderman Williams introduced the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, there was a communication
sent to tl.ls council on the 2d day of Jan-
uary, 1894, by Mrs. M. C. Felton, librarian
of the pibllc library, showing the condi-
tion of the library and asking that some
appropriation be made for the purchase of
new books, which communication was re-
ferred to the budget committee of the city
council of the city of Galveston for the
year 1894-5, and no action taken thereon.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the city
council of the city of Galveston, that the
budget committee of the city council of
the city of Galveston be instructed and re-
quired to make some provision in the
budget for the year 1895-96 for the purchase
of new books for the public library of
this city
The resolution was referred to the bud-
get committee.
Reports from the chairmen of the dif-
ferent committees, showing the valuation
of the property owned by the city, super-
vised by the respective committees, were
presented. The object of these reports
was to help in the preparation of the bud-
get for the coming year.
The market, committee reported the city
hall market, valued at $15,000; the fish and
vegetable market, valued at $5000, and the
First ward market, valued at $500.
The streets and alleys committee report-
ed property valued at $1457.25.
The committee 011 finances reported
wharf stoclr valued at 71 cents and city
railway stock at $10 a share. The city
owns 6222 shares of wharf stock and G93
shares of city railway stock.
The fire department valuation was re-
ported as $113,201.92, less $56,500, amount of
real estate, which would be reported by
the committee on public property.
The city electric light plant was valued
at $40,000.
Several members of the council became
all tangled up in a discussion over these
reports, who should make them, why they
should be made, how they should be ma.de,
to whom, etc., a discussion which amount-
ed to absolutely nothing save a waste of
time.
Alderman Levy moved that the commit-
tees that had not yet reported should do
so at once, which motion prevailed.
Alderman Harris moved that a com-
mittee of five be appointed by the mayor
to make up the budget for the coming
year. Carried, with the proviso that the
auditor be added to that committee to per-
form the duties of secretary.

at
Mr. Adolphus Busoh, president of the An-
heuser-Busch 'brewing company of St. Lou-
is, had been in town just about thirty
hours when he concluded a deal that will
cause the expenditure of about $50,000 in the
city of Galveston. This means the erection
of a new building at Center and Market
streets. But it is hardly fair to Mr. Busch's
judgment as a business man to intimate
that he acted entirely within the thirty
•hours.
"I am quoted as saying," he told a re-
porter for The News last night, "-that this
Is my firs* visit to Galveston. On the con-
trary, 1 suppose I have been here a dozen
times."
Then Mr. Busch proceeded to give his
reasons for the expenditure of money here.
"Galves'ton is a splendid city. It is pro-
gressive. There are excellent business men
here, men with push and energy. Galves-
ton Is something like a European city—sol-
Id and substantial. I was 'here about two
years ago, and when I compare the ap-
pearance of the efty then with what it is
now I am surprised. This street here," in-
dicating Tremon't street, "has changed
wonderfully. If I had driven up the street
and been asked if this was Tremont street
I would have said that it was not, the
changes have been so great.
"We were down along the wharves to-
day and yesterday. I never saw so much
cotton in my life. I asked how many ships
visfted this port every year from England,
and suggested about twenty, when I was
told that they number over 300 and average
about 7000 bales of co'tton each. I was sur-
prised. Texas is a wonderful state in every
way. "When the cotton crop averaged
3.000,000 bales a year and Texas raised a
third of it we were accustomed to think it
remarkable, but what can we think now
when she raises as much as 'the entire crop
formerly amounted to? We went down in-
to 'the new part of town—down to the new
warehouse to-day. On former > occasions,
when I have been here, I used to think
that ground was useless, but I see where I
was mistaken. These are reasons why I
have so much confidence in Galveston."
Mr. Busch and his company own about
$3,000,000 worth of property in Texas. This
property is located in 'San Antonio, Austin,
(Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Sherman,
Texarkana, Corsicana, Denison and Galves-
ton. Galveston is by no means 'the least in
the list in the estimation of Mr. Busch.
Yesterday forenoon Mr. Busch was clos-
eted with several Galveston business men
and at 11 o'clock a deal was closed for a
new three-story building on the corner of
Center and Market streets. Mr. Busch, in
the name of the Anheuser-Busch brewing
company, leased from Mr. Dave Fahey the
corner above mentioned, 42 feet fronting on
Market and 120 on Center, for a term of
twenty years at an annual rental of $3000.
One of the conditions of the lease was
that the Anheuser-Busch brewing company
would erect, within one year, a three-
story brick building to cost not less than
$20,000, to revert to the owner of the land
at the expiration of the lease.
The work will be commenced not later
than June 1 and will be pushed to com-
pletion. As soon as the lease for the
ground was consummated and the contract
for a twenty years' lease made Mr. James
Prendergast agreed to lease the entire
building for a term of twenty years at an
annual rental of $»1000. The first floor of the
new building will contain four business
rooms. The saloon of Mr. Prendergast will
have a frontage of 42 feet on Market street
and about the same amount on Center,
with an entrance on each street. There
will be three store rooms facing on Center
street, which have already been contracted
for. The building will occupy the ground
from the corner to the alley and will take
in Nate Spencer's produce store and A. S.
Newson's meat market. The second floor
of the new building will contain a hand-
some club room on the corner and the rest
of the floor will be divided into offices to
the number of about sixteen. The third
floor will be divided Into two large halls
and will be rented to secret societies.
The Market and Center street fronts will
be of pressed brick, with brown stone trim-
mings. and all the modern improvements
known to architecture will be placed In the
building.
Mr. Prendergast has been at work oji
the scheme for some time and has at last
a< amplished what will be a great benefit
to Galveston ami an ornament to the city,
the building of a handsome structure in
the heart of the city to replace the old
shanty that has been an eyesore for years.
But this is not all. Mr. Busch proposes
putting in some new refrigerating ma-
chinery in the building now occupied as
a store room. An erroneous statement
has been made, based upon this project,
that the company proposed to erect an
immense ice plant. "We shall not build
an ice factory of any kind," said Mr.
Busch, "until the size of the city shall
demand it, and the present plants are
unable to supply that demand. All we
propose to do is to put in some new re-
frigerating machinery."
Life has not been a round of business
with the Busch party since its arrival
here. Business and pleasure, contrary to
the old adage, have been successfully
mixed. On Sunday afternoon they drove
about the city and along the finest beach
In the world. Mrs. and Miss Busch be-
came enthusiastic. Were It not for the
fact that they have arranged to spend
the rest of the winter in Florida, it is
probable that they would find delight in
a recreation of a few months in Galveston.
Mrs. Busch was enthusiastic about the
residences. "What beautiful houses you

Clark's or Coatos' best thread, this
week 7 for SSc
yiAfroA/V Stoke:
have here. I think some of those on Broad-
way, one of them in particular, are really
magnificent. The grounds about them are
at a disadvantage at this season, but they
must be beautiful in the warmer months.
"We always spend our summers in Eu-
rope," said Mrs. Busch, and her husband
added, "Yes, after a man has worked hard
for seven months he wants to rest if he
has the opportunity."
"Not everybody is so fortunate," sug-
gested the reporter.
"Mr. Busch is one of the unfortunate
men who has to pay the income tax,"
added Mr. Koenig.
"He may be considered fortunate to be
in a position to pay the income tax."
"Yes," said Mr. Busch, "if there is a tax
to pay in support of the government I am
willing to pay my share."
The Busch party is a very congenial one.
Besides Mr. Busch, Mrs. Busch and their
charming daughter, the party is composed
of Mr. Carl Conrad, general manager of
the company; C. F. Wittman. junior mem-
ber of the firm of Youngerfeld &. Co., arch-
itects of St. Louis, and the official designer
of the company's plants and houses; Miss
Adeline Berg, private secretary to Mr.
Busch; C. O. Baxter, president of the Gil-
son roofing and tiling company, St. Louis,
Mo.: O. S. Busch, nephew of Adolphus
Busch; Otto Koenig. secretary of the Mil-
waukee lithographing company; Mr. Louis
Ulmer, secretary of the American brewing
company and general agent for southern
Texas of the Anheuser-Busch company of
Houston, and Mr. B. H. Peters, the local
agent of the company. They travel in the
special car Mascott, and eat and sleep on
board. Life with pleasurable companion-
ship is always worth living, and every
member of the party is the soul of good
fellowship. Mr. Busch himself is a com-
panionable man and Mrs. Busch is a
charming hostess. The president of the
great corporation looks like his picture. He
Is not over 55 and, aside from a deficiency
in cranial adornment does not show his
age.
The party will leave over the Interna-
tional at 1.30 this afternoon, going to
WTaco, Dallas and Fort Worth, and thence
to New Orleans; from there they go to
Florida.

AMUSEMENTS.
"THE FAST MAIL."
"The Fast ftjfeJl," Lincoln J. Carter's
melodrama, will be on the boards at the
Grand to-night. Says an exchange:
"The railway has often been used by the
dramatist, but never before to such an ex-
tent as in Carter's famous play, The Fast
Mail.' A freight train with fourteen cars,
a lighted caboose and a full-sized locomo-
tive, with engineer and fireman, crosses
the sttage in the most realistic and noisy-
manner, while later In 'the play a great
Mississippi river steamboat, with bells and
whistles and engines in full operation,
moves in and explodes with terrific force.
A great scene is also given of Niagara in
real tumbling water. The company is a
most efficient one, and there is a great
deal of fun to go with the sensational ef-
fects. A special car for the scenery is
used, and every detail is carefully looked
to in the stage production of the play."
GRAND OPERA.
There will be no vacant chairs at the
Grand opera house 'to-morrow night. But
few seats Were left yesterday for "T! Tro-
vatore." The Marie Tavary grand opera
company will arrive in the morning and
will be quartered at the Beach.
LITTLE LOCALS.
The postponed semi-annual exhibition of
St. Marv's university will be given at the
Cathedral halll on Thursday njght of this
week.
A post attached to the stanchion of the

foot and crushed it last evening. Mr. Tay-
lor was taken home in a hack.
A musicale will be given this evening at
the home of Mrs. G. H. Mensing, corner of

A NOVEL DECISION.
An Administrator May Be Personally Lia-
ble for His Covenants.
John C. Harris, as administrator of the
estate of M. D. McCandless, executed and
delivered to G. H. Siellng a deed to two
lots Mil the city of Galveston, and in the
deed covenanted that the lots were free
from all incumbrances. The state and
county taxes assessed against the two lots
amounted to $76.25, and were unpaid. The
purchaser, Siellng, paid the tax and filed
suit against John C. Harris as an individ-
ual for the amount paid by Siellng, upon
the ground that the tax was an incum-
brance and that the covenant was broken,
and that though the covenant was made
by Harris in his capacity of administrator,
he was liable In damages In his individual
capacity.
The suit was brought in the Justice's
court of precinct No. 2 in this city, and
judgment was rendered in that court
against the estate of McCandless. The
plaintiff Leing unwilling to accept a judg-
ment against the estate, which was not
sued end was not a party to the suit, ap-
pealed the case to the county court.
The county court yesterday held that
while the administrator could not bind the
estate by a covenant against incumbrances,
he was at liberty to make such a covenant
if he chose to do so and was personally
ilable for a breach of such covenant. A
Judgment was rendered for the amount
paid by the plaintiff, with Interest thereon
from May 1, 1893, when the tax was paid.
