State Engineer urged to abolish office and regulate railroads
Britton may propose abolishing the State Engineer’s office and offer rail regulation ideas when reporting to the Legislature. The office is depicted as highly active, not a desk job. Laredo Times praises L Wolfson, a leading San Antonio merchant, as liberal with ads and notes his store’s constant influx of customers. El Paso Times highlights Charles E Miner, Southern Pacific Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio railways passenger agent, praising his affable, alert conduct and reports on cotton trade boosting Houston and San Antonio rail traffic.
