Hotel Apparent.
Plan OF Campaign for Making Fort Worth
the Great City OF feasible
rap'r Mil.

Tho tonic effect on real estate exertei
By the securing of the grand hotel was
apparent yesterday. 1t is felt that
property have been more firmly fixed
than ever by the success OF the hotel
! undertaking, aud SIS q consequence there
was considerable talk OF dealing IN lots
/ lots with o magnificent structure is no
! small thing. 1t takes half BLOCK off
the market TO permanently i'm
| prove il, and tina. alone
! adds hundreds of dollars TO
the other vacant property on the streets
named. Now, If the work on the city
hail and government building wsrs
! pushed values would be still farther lu-
creased Not only Is the holder OF real
! property benefited, but the merchant
must see that with the WORK under way
| on buildings to ost over 81 900 900 trade
will be increased 10 n considerable ex-
| tent. Closing the hotel deal was big
| thing for Fort Worth.
A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Fort Worth is engaged in IL contest for
supremacy, and it is not only necessary
that her citizens De united III their ef-
forts, but equally as important that they
know just what they wish 10 do and have
IA well defined plan OF campaign to &C
complish the desired object. There
must be real estate dealing, AMI it mus:
be profitable. Suburban land ana town
lots must be sold 20 outsiders, ana
must change hands at home be-
fore there can be general improve
ment of this property. The first thing
then that would result from al approved
plan of campaign TO bull | II city out OF
Fort Worth would be activity III real es-
tate. The next thing must be an era of
building. All things Indicate at the
prese mt time, that during the year of
1891 buildings, to aggregate in cost
SO 600 900, will be erected and completed.
This sum will probably be increased and
should be. 1t should be part of the
city's plan of campaign to make this
amount s., 1000, 000 before 1892 rolls
around. This building Will be
necessity. Fort Worth needs more store
buildings, and needs q number of very
fine store buildings. 1t should be made
the study of the chamber of commerce to
secure for the people of Fort Worth
cheaper money, TO be used In improving
property. a united aud systematic eff
fort on the part OF the financiers of the
chamber of commerce would bring this
about. The city council of Fort Worth
should map out generous sys-
TEN OF public improvements
which should be pushed. The council
should not only expend the public
money in public improvements, but
should cause good sidewalks, and miles
of them, built by individual property
should not be too great. a gravel side
walk for twenty-five feet, u rough stone
for twenty-five feet, brick walk for
twenty-five feet, dressed stone for
TWENTY-FIVE feet, cement walk for
twenty-five feet, tile walk and an
asphaitum walk, all in one block should
not be permitted. There should be uni
formity and only approved walks
should be allowed TO go down.
A systematic effort in the factory line
should bs made. Not all factories are
possible for Fort Worth, not all schemes
schould be favored or encouraged. The
matter Of securing one or more parks for
the city should not be delayed longer.
In 1891 plans should be set on foot that
would make Fort Worth the city of
parks and therefore q healthy and beau |
tiful city. The matter of Legislation for
citv ana county should receive attention |
and if the city OF Fort Worth |
can secure justice and ben
efts by legislation it should |
be had. This might bring about the |
erection of $500. 900 courthouse. Our |
trade should be extended by securing |
more wholesale houses aud by building |
railroads to unOccupied territory. Fort |
Worth people shouli in the next twelve |
mn bs fri l,rf 20 pf hai I,t,
600 to make them $40 900 ZOO richer.
Adopt such plan of campaign and the
city of Texas can be named on January |
/, 1892, and il will be called Fort Worth. |
THE PAPER MILL.
The paper mill matter has been al !
lowed to lie dormant, awaiting the re-
suit of the hotel committees work.
This city wants paper mill and the
proposition now before the chamber of
commerce is the best that has been
offered.
The projectors were advised before
making their proposition that it would
be difficult matter, II not an impos-
siGility, TO raise cash subsidy of the
needed. IL that could be done
and land enough secured close to the
Union depot, the paper mill people i
would bniii on such land. The fact
WAS Developed that these conditions
could not Byron piled with by the peo-
pie OF Fort Wgrth.ts1t is conceded that
the only pracs say to raise the sub
sdy and ecure the mill
is to sell Hescribers lots and
giES them direct
aud full vaise fdther subscription.
The subscribers to fsE in the stove foun-
dry and wcolen miifkddition who raised
the Subsidies therefte. have in many
csses received back thsSamouut of their
subscription with profit added.
1t seems q fair and equitable manner
to raise a subsidy as the generous ones
who contribute to :he various enterprises
for the upbuildnS OF the city, in such
cases, receive a return for their money
directly as well as the Indirect gain to
ali.
The paper mill can be located il the
people OF Fort Worth Will assist the
committee in securing g sufficient sub
soriptiou.
An hours work yesterday gave ninety
lots as the result.
