BUILDING MATERIAL.
In the immediate vicinity of Austin
nature has stored immense quantities
of limestone of superior quality, sus
ceptible of the highest polish. When
first quarried it is soft and easily
worked, but after being exposed tc
atmospheric action it becomes harder
These limestone quarries furnish mex
haustible supplies for building pur
poses, and constitute necessary
adjunct to the city. In addition tC
the home demand, it forms an impor.
tant article OF commerce. There is q
mill here for saving these huge lime.
stone slabs into symmetrical blocks
preparatory to shipment to various
other cities of Texas.
Among the diversified industries OF
Austin perhaps none is more worthy
of special mention than the brick in
terests. In the city there are three
brick yards, whose aggregate output
last year was 100000 brick. The
material of which these bricks are
made is clay specially adapted to that
purpose. They make both common
and pressed brick. The prices of these
brick range from So to $12 per thou
sand. Austin is rapidly increasing in
wealth and population and the demand
for brick is proportionate.
Several miles west and north of
Austin are u number of limekilns
owned and operated by an Austin COM
pany. The aggregate daily output
from these kilns is 275 barrels OF lime,
which is brought here to the ware
houses, whence it is furnished to the
trade at home and elsewhere. This is
one OF the large industries OF the city
AMONG THE NOTABLE BUILDINGS
in Austin not yet enumerated are the
land Office, the temporary capitol,
Millett's elegant opera house, with a
seating capacity OF 100, the court
house, governors mansion, the United
States court house and twenty-four
churches. Many of the last men
toned class Of edifices can lay claim
to striking proportions and imposing
architecture. They attest eloquently
the religious proclivities of the citi-
zens.
TAXABLE AND UNTAXABLE VALUES.
The taxable wealth of the city is
nearly 100000, while the public
buildings belonging to the state,
county and city, churches, school
houses, etc, exempt from taxation,
represent valuation of about $4,000
600, making the real value of city
property, at a low estimate, Sll 900, 900.

The subjects taught are distributed
in the schools of Latin, Greek, French,
German, Spanish, English, history,
chemistry, pure and applied mathe-
matics, the natural sciences and COM
mon law.
1t is probably the most literally en-
dowed school in the United States,
the state having set apart and appro-
priated 1921 400 acres of land for its
maintenance and support. Being a
state institution, it is open alike to
both sexes, without charge for tuition.
The number matriculated this year is
24S.
The board of regents were fortunate
in securing one of the ablest faculties
in the United States.
THE STATE DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTE
is beautifully situated on an eminence
in South Austin, about mile from
the new capitol. The buildings are
elegantly furnished, lighted by cleo
tricity, and the grounds are tastefully
laid off in walks, drives and parks and
ornamented with shrubbery, making
it most attractive place. There are
1876 pupils in attendance, under q
most competent corps of teachers.
The educational department is in a
most satisfactory condition. The state
appropriation last year for the support
of this institution was Sal ,S16.

capable of running vast number o
factories. They will, in all probability
be prepared, after further inyestiga
ton, to offer great inducements tc
manufacturers. tits proposed to con
vey the water by pipes from an artif.
cal dam in the Colorado, a few miles
above the city, and it is further pro.
posed to use the water, after it has
been utilized in turning factories, fol
irrigating purposes. This calculation
is based on obtaining 5000 horse
power, and irrigating 32,4OO acres
The new building to be occupied by
the board of trade, when completed
will be one of the most attractive an(
durable structures in this city of mag
nificent edifices.
INDUCEMENTS TO MANUFACTURERS.
Austin is not only seat of learning
but it is destined soon to become a
great manufacturing center. No bet
ter field can be found for the estab.
lishment of cotton, wooden and other
manufacturing industries. The re.
markable success of the enterprises al
ready in operation here are conclusive
evidences of the fact that this city Of
fers superior facilities for such indus
tries. Austin reaches out her iron
arms in every direction to grasp the
raw material of the state, which needs
only the motor power of capital to be
utilized and converted into manufac-
tured articles. Wool and cotton can
be manufactured at less cost here than
at almost any other place in the south.
Here is both an unlimited supply of
raw material and a great demand for
the manufactured fabrics. Barriers
heretofore operating against her man
ufacturing interests have been re-
moved. The greatinducement offered
manufacturers is a good cheap fuel,
thereby reducing the cost of produc-
ton to the minimum. A coal COM
pany, with abundant capital, can
furnish the best and cheapest coal in
any quantities desired from mine a
short distance from the city on the In
ternational and Great Northern rail-
road.
THE THREE ICE FACTORIES
have a combined capacity of freezing
1000 pounds of ice per day, that
being enough to meet the demand of
the city. These factories are located
on the bank of the Colorado, from
which they are supplied with water by
systems connected with their respect
i've establishments.
THE AUSTIN FIRE DEPARTMENT
consists of an effective force of 172
members, including officers. The
total value of engines, horses, towers
and other paraphernalia belonging to
the department. is $4,000. The eff
cient service rendered by this well
disciplined department has greatly re-
duced the rates of insurance. No city
of its size in America can boast of a
better fire department than Austin
possesses.
THE BUSINESS HOUSES
of Austin consist of 73 general merch-
andise stores, 81 retail grocers, Is
hardware, 6 jewelry, Z merchant tai
lors, cigars and tobaccos, 15 saloons,
2 wholesale liquor, 5 wholesale grocers,
2 wholesale dry goods, l wholesale

car line over ten miles long, and ira
versing every part of the city, Austin
possesses

and one private bank, with an aggre-
gate paid up capital of 100000. These
banks are all sound and are conducted

OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

In addition to the University and
public schools there are numerous
other educational institutions of high
order of merit and proficiency in
Austin. Principal among these are
st. Mary's Academy, for young ladies,
under the direction of the Sisters of
the Holy Cross, by far the leading
female seminary in the city; st. Ed
wards college, for the education of
young men and boys; the Texas Bust
ness college, and Capital Business col
lege, each of which is written up in a
detail manner in another part of the
present issue.

THE STATE INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND
is located in the northwestern portion
of the city. During last session III
pupils were in attendance. They are
taught to read in lines and point print
the following branches: photography,
geography, arithmetic, etymology,
history, physical geography, physiol-
ogy, hygiene, English grammar, En-
glish literature, rhetoric and natural
philosophy. The annual report shows
good progress. State apportionment
last year, $48,S6O.
THE STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM
was located at Austin in 1861. The
commodious buildings occupy beauti-
full site about two miles north of the
court house. The total expenditure
last year was $1l2.959.S1. The aver
age number of inmates under treat
ment was ISL, making the yearly cost
of each patient $1S9.69. This average
is somewhat in excess of previous
years, but it is due to the fact that the
patients have been supplied with
better and more varied article of food
and clothing. Total appropriation,
$l13,630.
THE AUSTIN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
was organized in 1881, since which the
enrolment of pupils has doubled,
while the scholastic population has
trebled. This not only shows rapid
