WATERHEARING
Cotmcil Committee aai Compan
Will Meet on Saturday.
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Important Meeting Is Called for
Today Graham Knows What '
5 One Vote Means..
Tcsterday was the day for the- special
water oomraittee of the eltr oeuoell .to
meet and resume 'ita effort .to. arrive at
an amicable ad)ustment( thatlffprenoaa
between the company and the city but
It waa found Impossible (or the work to
be then undertaken and at th request
of th water company th resuming of
negotiations waa deferred to Saturday
next. The water company expressed lta
willingness to resume the negotiations
but yesterday about all of Its leading ofn-
ciais as well s attorneys were out of the
city and hence the postponement.
A general determination seems to exist
to accomplish something It possible and
art air of hopefulness la generally pre-
valent. " It Is realised that only a few i
days remain in which for th water com-
pany to disconnect altogether from the
bayou and so whether th conferences
result In anything tangible or not some-
thing Is likely to soon be doing In th
premises.
PCBI.IC WORKS BOARD.
Notices were Issued yesterday for a
meeting of the board of public work at
10 o'clock this morning at which time tt
la said many matters of Interest will com
before the body. The pending 1100000 bond
borrow will perhaps be the most interest-
ing subject considered and it Is under-
stood that the aldermen wilt go more into '
detail regarding th uses thy propose to
put the money to.
Another matter to b discussed 1 the
question of street paving. Heport has it
that at this meeting th old contracts so
far as they relate to unpavedj streets will
b taken up and be considered In th light
of a deslr to have alteration mad In
th previously arranged program. It la
aid that an effort will be made to have
th consent of all parties to th making
pf several changes which will b outlined
later. The understanding 1 that streets
in about all wards ot the city are affected
by the proposed change. Of course If -.he
aldwmen and members ot the board can
get together and th contractors and
their bondsmen assent to the change the
proposition become very simple but If
the board of publlo works balks It takes
eight council vote to make th changes.
DODGING THE BOARD.
The aldermen seem of late to be capable
of taking car of themselves. . Under the
charter all Improvement Involving an ex-
penditure of fl0 require the sanction of
th board of public works but when lessor
amounts are Involved that body doe not
have to be consulted and here Is one way
things lean be done legally It Is said
without going to the board. Just to Illus-
trate If It Is determined to pave from
Main street to San Jacinto on Texas av-'
nue and th cost of the work would he
11000 the matter would have to go to tho
public works board and so to head oft
such a procedure a motion could be made
to pave Texas avenue from Main to Fan-
nin at a cost of K0O. That would be or-
dered done as a separate and distinct
transaction. Then another move would b
made to pave Texas avenue from Fannin
to Ban Jacinto at a oost of tax). Both
being separate and distinct contract aad
ench Involving only 1600 the consent cf
the board would not be necessary where-
as a direct motion to pnve Texas avenue
from Main to Ban Jacinto would require
the intervention of the board. Of course
the streets named are used slmpiy tor
purpose ot illustrating bow matters can
be worked i
VALCB OPSONE VOTE.
Police Officer C. T. Graham perhaps ap-
preciates keenly th value of one vote. It
will be remembered that when the propo-
sition came up In the council Monday to
override the vote of Mayor Oaston and
pay Mr. Onihnjn salary for the months of
June and July when he did not work
owing to Hlness contracted In the line of
duty six voted to pay Graham anyhow
and four against. Six Is not two-thirds
of ten and hence he failed. One more
vote would have secured him th pay.
OIL COMPANIES' PERMITS
While there Is a disposition in some
Quarters to question the legality of the
action of tho council In revoking the per-
mits It granted the Gulf Refining compaay
to build on the Nobles addition. In th
Fifth ward and the Waters-Pierce Oil
company to build on the Peters tract still
It Is hardly likely that anything will come
of It. It will be recalled that at the meet-
ing nn August 29 the permits were
framed. Another meeting was heli on
eptember 1 at which no move to recon-
sider suoh former action was taken.
At tho meeting September 12 the per-
mits were on motion reconsidered find
revoked. Rule 17 of the council is cited In
this connection and tt reads: "Any mem-
ber may move a reconsideration of a vote
not ister than the next meeting after
which a vote Is taken. A two-thirds vote
of the aldermen present and voting shall
be necessary to reconsider any vote taken
by the council"
Rule in reads: "When a question has
been once determined by the council the
snme question shall not ngaln be consid-
ered for six months thereafter unless hy
a reconsideration as hereinbefore oro-
vlded." The sureestlon mad Is that after the
meeting of September 1 It was out of or-
der for the council to have attempted to
revoke the permits grantc on August 1'9.
As above stated this Is only a suggestion
that has been made together with th
rules under which the council works bear-
ing upon the subject.

FIFTH WARD CIVIC CLUB.
Decidedly Interesting Meeting
Held on Monday.
The Fifth ward division of the Houston-
Civic club held a very Interesting
session at Its park Monday afternoon.
Two members from .this division Mes-
dames J. M. Hogan and J. D Duckett
ware elected to serve on the nominating
committee. Arrangements were made to
hav an entertainment at Civic club park
'next Friday afternoon from 4 to 10. Re-
freshments will be served consisting of
sandwiches coffee tea and pie; also Ice
cream and lemonade.
The division desires to thank Mrs. O. T.
Holt tor a substantial lawn swing and
Mrs. T. R. Franklin for a bench which
were sent out to the park during the ses-
sion of the club with compliments of the
donors. These courtesies are very much
appreciated by the ladles who after meet-
1ns their obligations find little money left
-for furnishing their park with th necessary-
equipment. But It Is a large under-
taking and it la firmly believed that
many kindly disposed persons will come
to their rescue and assist the Civic work-
er In providing at least one recreation
spot In the Fifth ward. A large amount
of money has been expended already in
th erection ot a commodious pavilion
fencing and placing of lights and other
.improvements will b added a funds
are provided.
Let all come out Friday September lfl
at 4 o'clock patronise the attractions
and so encourage the Clvlo club In Its
'commendable enterprise.
LIGHT GUARD RETURNED
From Manassas Last Evening
After Most Interesting Trip.
: Th Houston Light Guard returned to
the city last evening having arrived at
the depot shortly after 11 o'clock. The
boy were ull tired after their long and
wearisome Journey from Manassas and
were not In a mood for conversation
hence an account of their trip could not
be obtained. The greater number of them
boarded the cars and left for their homes
immediately while others strolled through
th city prior to going home to see once
again the sights which they had longed
for while camping on the famous old bat-
tleground of ManaesHS.
Few fatalities were reported by the
sergeant of the company and those few
were the result of some of Virginia's
most charming girls.
The uniforms of the company looked as
though they had seen rough weather and
doubtless the maneuvers were to some
extent rather nerve-straining. All In all
however the boys had a most enjoyable
and beneficial trip and returned home well
pleased with mimic warfare.
A trip to Washington was Indulged In
by moat of the soldiers which added
largely to the pleasure of the outing.
AT .HIGHLAND PARK.
Aerial Navigation Will Be the
Feature on Sunday.
Prof. La Roy Is not satisfied with doing
the ordinary exhibitions of nerve and
daring performed by others in his line
of business and has now decided to make
an ascension by means ot a number of
Immense kites. He proposes after b
has reached several hundred feet in th
air. to do some performance upon th
winging trapese. after which he will
make a terrific slid to earth via th
main line of the kite. Thi performance
so far as known has never been done
by any one at any rate by no one In
Texas and promises to be on of especial
Interest to every one vHutlng th park.
W0!- J0 weigh (bout W pound;
that weight added to the weight of th
kites of about 200 pounds. This lifting
power can easily be obtained providing
there is sufficient wind to keep th kite
up and It will take from six to eight
kites to accomplish th tearf
Kites have been made with a carrying
power of pounds. One was launched

both It and the banner were thoroughly
drenched. He then attached to the main
line of the kite two drag lines supplied
with big hooks and baited with fish and
sent them out In the bay. Twice some
large fish got hold of the hook and start-
ed to pull down the kite but It got off
th hook before It could be pulled In. The
entire battery of "Rep" kites will be
used by Prof. I Roy In his performance
