CHEAPER MONEY.

Several prominent citizens well known
in the financial world, met yesterday
afternoon IN this city to take preliminary
steps looking to the formation of a loan
company that would let our people have
money at 6 p. cent. IL is understood
that in this case per cent. will mean
| per cent. not real rate OF 8 per cent.
| with with per cent. stated IN the mort
gage There is no reason why Texas or
Fort Worth property owners and devel-
| opers should pay ., 10 or - per cent.
| when Iowa pays only per cent. If q
reasonable rate of interest prevailed to-
day at least $500 200 would be going into
| good buildings or lots worth large sums
| of money When the Old time ~ per
cent. rate is broken Fort W orth will take
giant strides.
/ THE IRON ROLLING MILL.
| The charter of the Fort Worth iron
| rolling mill campany will arrive from
Austin TODAY, and Tomorrow or next
! dav the board of directors will meet and
! elect officers, when the work of COM
| pleting tine buildings will begin and be
| expedited until everything Is really to
! roll iron, which will not be- many weeks.
! The cash capital of the rolling mill full
| puid is $50. 0c0. Fort Worth with this
| mill in operation will be q market Cor ali
the scrap wrought iron n Texas, and
| thousands of dollars now tied up IN old
iron viii, be released and Hud its way iu-
| TO the Golfers o! our people. II is init
mated TINT wire mill will be cstab-
! lished near the rolling mill when the lat
| ter is IN operation.
THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
It is said that two letters have been
! written to Congressman Abbott OF this
| district requesting HIM 10 call on Secre-
tary Window and ascertain, if possible,
what has been done in regard TO the gov
| erument bullding to be erected in this
city. The bids asked for by the secre-
tary have been sent TO " Washington weeks
| ago, and it is said have been opened.
There are some people in Fort Worth
who believe that a special government
agent has been in Fort Worth. and utter
look ng ut all the sites offered has made
his report TO headquarters. 1t Is not Ge-
lieved that the government architects
have prepared any plans for the building
up 10 the present time. As is known,
the amount appropriated for the building
ia Sl75, 200, but ii is very probable that
this amount will grow to $500 900 when
the government is fully advised in regard
to the great Importance OF Fort Worth as
q center at which government business
can be transacted.
