A San Antonio councilman outlines municipal ownership of waterworks as a solution to high private rates. He cites Kansas City’s municipal plant purchase, costs, and potential savings, arguing city control could lower rates, fund sinking funds, and improve service while avoiding private domination and political interference.
A fragmenting review argues Dayton should build its own waterworks with a three trustee board to manage a funded plant. It compares rates with San Antonio and Galveston and weighs bonds, mortgages, and city ownership against private water service.
A vintage column argues for calmer holidays to protect mental and physical health of public figures. It critiques overactive leisure, urges retreat to the country or seaside, and prescribes rest, limited exertion, and avoidance of stress to prevent breakdowns. It cites avoiding excessive exertion and recommends a simple, peaceful week away each year.
Fragmented OCR text mentions Mackernon Whine Tribe and a misformed rite or word. It references a Millanery Co located at 50 East Leuston Street and public notice style appears scrambled with unclear events or actions. No clear names, dates, or concrete actions are discernible.
AL Walker of Wesles University analyzes how poverty shapes tastes and meals, noting cheaper broths and legumes compared with beef stews. He tracks reactions among households across the United States, arguing class shifts influence palais and dietary values.
A garbled OCR note references a canine and a company called The More Siletinery Co and a global Houston street. The readable text hints at a confusion over liquidation or disposal and mentions corporate and street identifiers, but the fragment provides no clear event, person, or place to confirm.
