3 By mall, to Teias, 6 1 cuts.de iate of Texas nre at the i CO cents a ACTION of the Mayor and Commissioners in today's session should seek detailed clarification, for public study, Ihe engineers' floo'd-preventfon scheme, advanced in their lat- report proposing a minimum expenditure of $3,732,000. Ong- jnally, they recommended a work to cost S3 732 000 $5,500,000. Ais, afterwards was revised WHAT? to which, they sfill contend, is lowest cost a which absolute safety be'provided. Exactly what does the committee propose that taxpayers shall have for the $3,732,000 outlay? Protection a 24-inch rainfall, such as occurred last September, pro- fided it falls in the Olmos basin, the engineers say. Should the lowhpour be greater--and a 40 pe.r cent heavier precipitation is leemed possible-or should there be'a 24-inch rainfall below the damsite, the flood disaster would be repeated.

That is bo inconsiderable sum to spend on an uncertainty. It involves Lilding-according to the report-a 43-foot dam in the Olmos; -iver work to provide'discharge-capacity of 12,000 cubic feet a lecond; cutting a dry channel across the I'big bend" between Cwnpmann and French Buildings; work on the Alazan below the lazan-Apache junction, and enlargement of bridges above there; Icertain land would be acquired and certain other work would ae done'-'. The taxpayers, before voting a bond issue for such scheme fobviously would like a little enlightenment on a few points, them (1) Olmos dam specifications and costs; (2) what nstitutes "sufficient work on. the river" to get peet discharge? (3) details of the big. bend, of Lroperty to be acquired, size of proposed channel and construc- ftion outlay; (4) exact nature and cost of Alazan Creek (5) what lands would be acquired and at what expensejfbr, what other work" involve? The engineers' committee to approve this supplemental recommendation--passing along to the city administration and the public.

The latter, Ithen, certainly must have adequate information on which to ireach so momentous a decision?

WITCHERY AND DEVILTRY "There is" witchery in "moonlight;" "And even more diabolk-al Influences in Star. A famous hotel man, who is also a philosopher, once made, la "The Nation's Business" a remark that would apply to almost any business. "The greatest mistake," he declared, a is commonly made by employes and managers is t'o exert themselves more for the comfort of' an old time customer than for a new one. According to all rules of hospitality and logic, the peron who should receive the most effort for his entertainment within one doors is the newcomer." In your owu home you would not think of making great fuss over a Juan who had been entertained there before, and more, or less ignore another fellow who is receiving your hospitality for the first time, let in a hotel ulning-room the head waiter is most careful to seat (lie man whom he has seen there before, and in most stores the clerks mako more fuss over nn old customer than one who is givins tbe store a first Chronicle.
