The commlllee originated by tho adoplion or a resolution by Ihe coun cil at Us second meeting In August, designating the committee ror the otiriiose nielli lolled. The only city of ficials incl'ideil In the membership are liie mayor and the cliy attorney. The resolution was offered hv mid adopted at the reipiest or Alderman Heorije W. Carroll, who has followed the lead of the ICtlterni-ise 111 advo- citing a new charter for Beaumont. The it inn il n t in '-ii f of the committee was not, nci'hnps. strictly legal, as the Council hns no authority to cre ate committees outside Its own mem bership. The nppolnlnient. however, I'.

There are a number of serious objec tions to Hie pi-cent charter. Hiroe of which are considered or pnra mount importance. The'- are; The Too system or paying public officers. The law limit or nnlliorlxoi taa lilv oT I'io city to compel t ion. The Ina! I ho construction or street imprnv;'- nionls. Carroll on Trcasurershin. Of these throe features Mr. Car roll is especially interested in but one tho reo system. The Prohibi tion alderman believes that the svs lini should he abolished. His partic ular bone of conlention is the city trensurersliip. He lias started on a campaign to practically abolish the olliee. in so far as it necessitates the payment by the city or an officer to perform the duties of treasurer. Mr. Carroll believes that a treasurer can lie employed at compensation of $1 per annum and no roes. Speaking on this subiect with an ITnterprise re porter. Mr. Cainill laii!: "On in v recent visit to Waco 1 learned that that city handles the ipiestionn id the t reasiirership Just exucilv as 1 advocate il should bo handled by lteaunionl. I think this olliee hiilild be taken out or oolilies. lo begin wilh. and I am confident a irearurer can be eniidovcd nt $1 tier year, thus saving Ike city Troiii $:!."(" .i $.'..nuii annually.

MUST IMPROVE Oil SANITATION Ho Predict That Within a Few Yean Deep Water Will Be Had, and a Flourishing Metropolis Will Be Established. "The thing which hna Impressed mo most about lli'iiiiniont," nubl Mr. Kin- ay J. Sinllli, of Coitimbiiii, Ohio, In conversation with an Knterpriso iv purler yeaterday aitcrnoon. "U tlio positive assurance ilmi muiiil' day, not far distant, there will be a great city here." This fvntlmont, coming from Mr. Smlih, should carry more than ordi nary weight. Mr. Smith Is a banker mid capiiulist of Columbus, and Is ret ogni.cd as one of the leading lliian-cl.-rs of Hie Ituckeye at mo. Ho bus interests In Ibis sectioii to the extent ir about $'uii,iiiiii, but this is only his second visit tu Ileanuioiit. His head iiiarters are nt Columbus. Coming into the town practically a stranger, knowing comparatively Utile if loenl industrial und commercial ondillouH, ihe slaU'inenl or Mr. Sniltnh that his Impressions, after being here two days and mingling with the business men, that a great city will sonu timu occupy tho site of lieauiuout, moans something. Impressed by River. "I took a trip down the Neclits river yesterday." continued Mr. Smith, "and I was astounded at the ntrcnin. It is u wonderful waterway, and, I think, a freak ol nature. I cannot account lor lite great depth, especially when it is remembered that the lake, into which the river flows, is so shallow. I am told that the river has an aver age depth of from twenty-live to thirty-live feet. This i consider re markable. "I have thought a great deal about lieaiimout since '.'.oming here two days ago," resumed Mr. Smith, "and I have concluded that the tliiiiK that will ul timately have to make the town is deep water. I have learned enough about the rapidity with which the country is being developed agricultur ally about here, nml if no deep wale, should be golteu, or if there should be much delay in setting it, this funiiii'; interests will still make Heuui'i nit something of u city nothing, how ever, to ummire with what Uep water will make. It. . . . Deep Water Assured. "iK looks lo me as if deep water is bound to come 'T the town jooncr or later, perhaps later, but sure lo come just the same. The mere fact that only nine miles ol shallow water lies between this city and the gulf is posi tive evidence lliai some 'lay the chan nel will come clear through. I know nothing about how the citizens pro nose lo net Ibis connection made, but have been told a bonding scheme is under consideration. This would be a good way to got the canal if it can't In gotten any oilier way, but. the work should really be done by the Federal (.vernment." That It will be done by ii in time 1 am confident. The nues tion is whether it would not he belter lo go ahead and Ket tho channel your selves, and trust to having the govern" nielli reimburse you later. Good Town Now. "II is absolutely impossible to es timate what, deep water would mean for your city, but it would make her a liunimor, sure. The great agricultural country north and west of h"re would pour its pri.hiots straight to Feau r.iont. and Lie town would become a melr lpolis. As a matter ot fact. neaumont is a g".'d lit lo town now.
