with Messrs. Chilson & Burnam for
tract of land in their IngleWood addition
and Will commence at once to make
fair ground and driving park. The
management intends to have one of the
finest tracks in the South. Messrs.
Chilson & BurnRm has laid out five
mile boulevard on their addition, and
when completed will make one of the
finest resorts in North Texas. a con-
tract for $50 900 hotel will be let this
month. Their artificial lake and medi-
cal springs have been so arranged that
when fully completed this summer resort
cannot be eXcelled in the South. The
report has been received from Buffalo,
n. Y, where the water from their med
icated springs were sent to be analysed,
shows they contain qualities equal to any
OF the medicated springs of Arkansas or
Colorado. A proposition from one of the
most distinguished physicians of the
North, resident of Syracuse, n. Y,
has been made to the owners to lease
them and use the water for the cure of
consumptives and lung diseases and
those afflicted with rheumatism. When
the qualities of these waters are once
known this city will become the health
resort of the South.
Cisco, Sept. "a large meeting of
the people of Cisco was held last night to
discuss the all-absorbing question of
water supply for the town. The scarcity
of water at this point is a matter of very
serious difficulty. Business is paralyZed,
matrimony is dead, and the people dis
Couraged. The sentiment of the meeting
last night was an earnest determination
to do something to relieve the condition.
The greatest trouble is that there is di-
vision of opinion on the plan to be prose-
cuted. Some of the leading citizens
favor an artesian vel! as the best plan,
while others advocate damming a canyon
on the edge of the town. The majority,
however, are willing to aid either enter
prise. Committees were appointed to act
in conjunction with the city council in
securing bids from water supply con-
tractors, and to determine on the most
feasible SO eme.
