SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1886.
SEWERAGE OR STAGNATION.
The Question Considered from Several
Standpoints.
Killtor Sau Antonio Light
In your issue of the 24th you say:
••What would be thought of a man who
would erect a tine house, and then go to
the ;owner to negotiate its purchase.
That would about be the position of the
city were it to put down sewers before
it owned the Water-works. But it is not
going to do any such a thing.”
From this paragraph I infer that the
Light is opposed to the adoption of a
sewerage proposition upon the ground
that the city must flrat own the water
works. Upon this plea It may be easy
to defeat the sewerage proposition, but
with all due deflerence to your expressed
opinion I beg the priviledge to discuss
the question to see if it would not be
the beat thing our citizens could do for
their own welfare to vote in favor of
sewers without reference to the owner
ship of the present system of waler
works. If the ownership Jof ibe Brack
enridge Water-works must precede the
building ot sewers by the city, it is more
than probable that you, Mr. Editor, and
all your ootemporaries, will be dead and
gone, and our beautiful old town,
stricken with plague, shunned and for
saken, will be a stranded village ; even
that flourishing corporation, the Ban An
tonio Water-works Company may not
exist, and even the envied Brackenridge
will rest beneath a granite slab, at peace
with this world at least. In con
sidering questions which must have
a bearing upon the future as
well as the present prosperity of the
community, we must take into
account the life of the present genera
tion who bear tlie heat and burden of
the day. For us. is there no relief; is
thereto be nothing beyond what is in
sight; a prospect not at all cheerful.
Until we have sewers laid under our
streets it is folly to make permanent
street improvements; until we have
sewers the growth anu improvement of
our city must standstill; until we have
sewers we will never be a city; the erec
tion of line residences has already come
Io a stand still; and the builder is
brought face to face with the disagree
able problem, what shall be done with
the waste water and sewage; the deadly
sink hole is the only substitute for the
sewers, where the river or the ditches
cannot be reached.
When our population did not exceed
10,000 and macadamized streets were un
known, the soil, being deep and reach
ing to a gravel bed, the sewage was de
oderized and rendered harmless. But
now our population is claimed to be
over 30,000; the living space has been
condensed; the streets, many of them,
have been macadamiz.ed and the surface
made impenetrable. The shape of our
valley is like a saucer, every particle of
drainage for miles must come into our
city, sewers ns well as proper surface
drainage is already a necessity in order
to make us reasonably secure from epi
demics and deadly ailments, that are al
ways tilling the grave yards. When we
boasted 10,000 people, two or three old
doctors attended ro the sick, now we
have doctors by the score and drug
stores everywhere. Our greatest in
crease of population has been within the
past live years; add five years more of no
sswers and we will be compelled to
move out and start in a new place.
Sewers we must have or stagnation
will take place, and it is just as sensible
to say to the people to stop using water
until they own the water-works as to
suggest that they defeat sewers until
they own the water-works. Unlike gas
work?,street railroadsand water-works,
sewers must be built by other
wise we might wait until some stranger
dropped down upon us with money aud
enterprise sufficient to build them. Its
always been some one from abroad who
came to our reliof, but in this enterprise,
upon which all depends, we must do it
ourselves. The value of our property,
the wealth of our city, the prosperity of
our people depends upon the reputation
for good health. Already the old repu
tation of our city is gone; it is no longer
the health resort it once was, and as a
winter resort, a pleasant place for the
tourist, it is shunned, and the least rumor
of small-pox or “dengue” almost acts as
a quarantine upon the traveling public.
A single rain gives to our streets a hor
rible appearance, as well as makes them
almost impassable. With sewers and
improved stieets. we will begin our
career as a modern civilized community,
and not until then.
San Antonio enjoys one of the loveliest
of locations, and can be mado the Flor
ence of America, but it must be made a
clean, healthy city or it will sink.
More depends upon this than ui
on railroads, or factories, or enter
prises involving any amount of invest
ment of capital. A single visitation of
the cholera would sweep away the pros
perity we have been accumulating for2o
years, and while sewers might not pre
vent the approach of the dread destroyer,
they would mitigate Its horrors and pre
vent a complete loss of confidence incur
city. No investment on the part of our
citizens will yield the profit that a com
plete system of sewerage and public im
provements would bring; it Is the stran
gers, the travelers, the sojourners, who
come and go, who make up the largest
factor in the prosperity of all cities, and
the pleasant, attractive, healthy cities,
supplied with every modern comfort and
convenience, have the largest transient
population—a thousand strangers would
contribute thousands of dollars to our
city daily. With our splendid climate, a
clean, improved city, with the natural
beauty of our little river and hill-bound
valley, enhanced by art, not only would
the stranger come but he would stay,
and invest in the pleasantest city on the
continent.
Now, as to the reason you give why
the people should uot vote for the sew
ers, to-wit: because the Water-works
are not owned by the city. I think a
little reflection will convince you that
you are wrong. Let us determine to
put down the sewers and the necessity
for water to flush them will precipi
tate the water problem. If the
city can not secure such terms
as will be reasonable from Mr. Brack
enridge, and we cannot secure the con
trol or bis works either by force or law.
why let the city erect water-works of
sufficient capacity to supply the sewer
system, which can be done at a cost
which will not be either formidable or
beyond our reach. This system owned
by the city could be easily extended and
tinally made the means to crush out the
monopoly. No, we will not build the
house and then turn around and try to
buy It; we will own it from the start.
Vote for a system of sewerage and the
water-works question will be settled for
good. If the people of San Antonio are
hopelessly In the grasp of a local mon-
opoly, then there is no use to make a
struggle, but simply to let our ship drift
on until we strand. Ido not believe it.
If we cannot make streets until the sew
ers are laid, and we cannot put down
sewers until the water-works are con
quered, why. let us quit. But if there
were no water-works and sewers were
decided as necessary would we wait for
some Freeman anil Lacoste to come
along and build the water-works and a
i Brackenridge to gobble them up, so we
could raise a row witb'him, or would we
go to work to supply the works as a part
of the sewerage scheme? A sewerage
system Is useless without water, so
would be a railroad system without lo
comotives and rolling stock, but put
put down the road-bed. ties nnd iron
rails and the road is complete, the ro'l
ing stock is only incidental to
its operation and easily obtained.
If yo i hud advised our people not to
invest in the Aransa* Pass Railroad un-
til all its engines and rolling stock had
been put down on the ground in ad
vance. your advice would be on a par
w ith Ihe suggestion not to vote the sew
ers until the Water-works were cap
tured. Bi.rvr.
THE BRAKEMEN,
The Situation and Prospects Lack o
System and Unity
A I.K.Hi reporter was -ent to the sun
set Depot this morning to ascertain the
i situation In the brakemen's slrike. Il
was found that considerable dissatisfac
tion exists as to the management of the
affair. There are 11 crews on the strike
between this city and Del Rio. with two
brakemen to a crew, making 22 brake
men. This Involves the stopping of the
trains, and therefore the lay-off' of II
coeductors, 11 engineers and 11 tiremen,
33 men who have no Interest whatever in
the matter. These men complain of the
action of the brakemen fnr not present
ing their grievances at the time when
the brakemen at the east end were on a
strike and have the matter settled at tlie
same time, instead of waiting till mut
ters were settled there, and trains or
dered to move, and then striking and
again locking up business. There are
now.it is said, some 88 carloads of time
perishable freight lying in thia city, and
probably more at Del Rio, awaiting the
result of the conference. The strikers
appointed a delegate to confer with
General Manager Hutchinson at New
Orleans, but not a word has been heard
from him since he left. Another
committee was appointed by the crews
lying in thia city, to wait o’u Mr. Van
Vleck, but nothing can be done till news
can be received from the delegate at
New Orleans. I'here are naw three
crews lying here and eight at Del Rio.
As to the merits ot the strike, of course
there are (inferences of opinion, but one
thing is certain that the strikers in this
instance are not enjoying the usual sym
pathy that is accorded tv railroad men.
in view ot the fact that on the Southern
Pacific Railroad air brakes are used on
all freight trains, while on other roads
the hand brakes are yet in use, and the
pay is about the same and in many
cases more. So far everything has been
conducted in an orderly manner, and
guards have been, placed on the idle
trains to prevent destruction of prop
erty. As far us known the roud has yet
made no attempt to replace the strikers.
.The striked these 22brakemen between
San Antonio and Del Rio, enforces the
idleness of the entire crew, not only on
their division but on the entire line
from New Orleans toSar. Francisco,with
the exception of those on local freight,
and causes them to lose their time nnd
thousands of dollars.

An Explanation.
Editor San Antonio Light
As the committee in charge of the
Moody and Sankey meetings have heard
numerous complaints on account of
tickets being required fur admission te
the services, we have been asked to ex
plain that these meetings are not in
tended for “all coo-ers.” It io called a
“Christian convention,” to distinguish
tbe services from such as are usually
called "revival meetings.” The object
of Mr. Moody’s three days' visit is more
particularly to reach Christians con
nected with churches in this city and in
this Southwestern part of tbe State, in
tbe hope that they may be stirred up to
more zealous work themselves. Inci
dentally. of course, but not specially,
Mr. Moody's addresses will be applica
ble to tbe unconverted. Hence, it will
be seen, that Ie order to avoid confusion
and prevent overcrowding, admission
by ticket was deemed necessary. All, of
course, are welcome, but those who are
anxious enough to go and take the
trouble to get tickets, shook' be accom
modated.
