question is one very closely allied lo all official interests and it is doubtful if there is a single member of city ment from m yor down who would dare make the slightest suggestion lo the effect that the dilch leak in the city treasury needed plugging up TSie petition of several citizens opposite lo whose names are subscriptions amounting lo a lolal of about asking the cily to advertise for bids to repair the valley ditch in accordance willi the plan of Alderman exposes the ditch leak in very glaring pro portions This valley dilch is a monument to cipal folly it is an engineering enormity ami its construction was a fraud and an injury upon the community But there is a considerable community of tax payers who own property on this ditch and who have made homes adjacent to it with the idea of being supplied with wa- ter from il The improvement suggested would cost over and il is doubtful if it would be a permanent improvement after made The amount of irrigation supplied by his ditch when running is insignificant the main object being the supply of drinking wa- ter lo the people and we think it would be far better o have works extended to that To supply the water to run ditch during dry summers will greatly interfere with supply to the old ditches on same side of the river and there has grown up n decided opinion that this ditch is a failure and that all money the

wonder why il was nol done before It is even unpleasant to think that our beef swung there so many years subjected to he dust of the surrounding streets but now that is done for the next thing is something else Maj Kampmann is credited with the gestion that he would put up a fine fountain as to the city 11 is a splendid opportunity for Major Kampmann to immortalize his name in this cily where he has won his fortune and left the impress of his industry and the work of his life Maj Kampmann belongs to the old school of San Antonians who have carved out for themselves a name in ils history We consider it a grand piece of good that is offered our rich men who could upon every public square erect some monument to send names down to future generations We are aware of fad that some people think they leave a sufficient monument in residences and business houses A will show them thai no matter how splendid a private edifice may he il only represents a selfish design Hut a monument lo beautify a square to give pleasure lo the public and to add lo happiness of the people leaves a grateful re- behind have spent is money thrown away The in- ception of this ditch was for the purpose of supplying water for domestic purposes and was before the water works were built It is argued that city would gain by increased assessments of property if this ditch was re- paired and is no doubt true but the benefits would also accrue to the property owners as well and properly owners should be to foot the themselves and nol force il upon the other properly owners of the city The lime is fast coming when we must re- lurn to the original idea and practice in regard to our ditches or abandon altogether Originally were a source of enue to the city The ditches must become self-supporting the at large is bound lo protect it- self against present imposition and the people who use the ditches lor irrigation should begin to look nt the question in his light The showing just made by cily council of the receipts mid expenditures incident to the irrigating ditches is a betler argument than we can possibly make in favor of a re- lorm The ditches on east side supply 158 wa- ler takers to
