How California Booms TIA Point
er for San Antonio People--A
Blind Waiting for
a Rise.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. l6, 1888.
Daily LIGHT:
The more | see Of this country, the
more am astonished at the shOrtsight-
ed policy that prevails with our San
Antonio people. OF course there are
wide awake men there who are doing
all they can for the place, but the
average man with few thousands all
fixed up to bring In q comfortable little
living, is perfectly satisfied. and
wouldn't give two cents to see the
town on a boom. He rather breads any
Improvement because 1t increases taxes.
1t is that feeling that kills
enterprise and sends good men with
capital to other places, and keeps down
public improvements. II wise policy
had prevailed there few years ago,
and public improvements been inaugur-
ated, such az sewers, and the proper i'm
provement Of the plazss and principal
streets, San Antonio today would stand
head and shoulders above all other
Texas cities. But when the leading
merchants, bankers and citizens, stand
sloof and allow the municipality to be
run by men who ought to be RELOCATED
to obscurity, what else can be ex-
pected?
The new Mayor Hunsaker Of this place
(who, by the way, was formerly citizen
OF San Antonio) started In to run things
q la CalaghaD, but he got 1t In the neck
the second meeting of the council. 1
send you some clippings from the Daily
Union, the leading paper here, which
will give you an Idea OF how IL was done,
but you needn't expect the present
board of oounoilmen Of San Antonio to
do anything OF the sort, but let the PEG.
pie look out for another board hereafter,
ifthey want the city to prosper and
grow. III you could get msjority In
tie council like Col. Belknap, "wouldn't
she be a daisy, though" Then the
mayor wouldn't use his pile driver so
successfully In cutting of debate and
passing ex post facto laws. | am con-
strained to believe that when another
election comes, somebody will hear q
dull thud. l cannot help writing as |
do when see how 1t is with other
places, and remember how 1t ought to
be with San Antonio.
see from the morning papers In this
city that the mayor has been sick ever
since the council sat upon him. Whether
II Ia the effect Of the combined pressure
Of so many aldermen or the disappoint-
ment at not being able to have every
thing HE own way, am unable to say.
Since the beginning OF the year great
calm seems to pervsde real estate circles,
and while real estate owners are holding
lots ct the same stiff prices, the trans
fers Indicate considerable falling of.
They account for that on the ground
that so much Is falling due on second
payments that the surplus cash is all abb
sOrbed IN that way. Many people came
here last year with limited amount Of

money and spread 1t out over as much
ground as they could, expecting n big
rise, and 1t didn't come as quick as they
expected, and now they are Offering the
same property at slight advance to
save themselves from the second pay
ments. 1t is confidently expected by
real estate men that there will be a gen
eral move forward In February, but not
being in the business, 1 can't tell any
thing about the matter. wouldn't ac-
wise my friends to put In their all, ex-
peoting to double 1t In month, not by
