OUR OPPORTUNITY.

The LIGHT has so often called at
tention to the cty's need Of manufac-
tories to give employment to our sur
plus capital and idle labor, that it
seems almost stale to repeat the adj
vice and yet it must be given again.
If San Antonio wishes to forge her
self to the front in a way that will
astonish herself, let her aid manufac-
turing as she has railroad buildings and
she will enlarge her borders and null
tiply her capital in way she has
the state has such facilities for manu-.
featuring as she has, and yet they are
all dormant. Laredo, down on the
Rio Grande, with facilities not to be
compared to hers, is pushing her
wooden mill and tannery enterprises
with some show of success while San
Antonio sleeps on. 1t is true she has
brewerieS and ice factories and soap
factories, all under the head of luxu-
ries, but all of them combined would
not bring the shekels into our Golfers,
that one good goat hide tannery with
the manufacture of kid shoes would
This ls the country of goat skins, and
yet they all pass through by the car
load to the east for the tanner and
shoe maker, and the tanner relieves
them of twO-thirds of their weight
and doubles their value. Then
comes the shoe maker and by
his labor heaps on the cost for
the eastern merchant to further
increase with profit. All of this in
crease in values with the merchants
profit might be kept right here. And
what is said of this industry might
be said of others, such as wooden, cot
ton and paper mills, and all others OF
which they would be feeders. Let
San Antonio take up these enterprises
one by one, and they will add to her
wealth and population in a way to
make her not the first city of Texas,
(she is that already but the city of
the United States, in the south and
west. This she can be If she will
awake from her sIumber and cease to
fold her hands in idleness.

The Daily eight.
w EDNESDAY, FEBRUARY. ), 1890

New YORK is nothing if not big,
and her present bridge schemes are
immense. Rapid transit within the
city does not worry her but a rapid
transit outside, and how to get out
side is the question. No matter how
rapid her suburban trains run when
they come TO the rivers that surround
the city they must call halt and
creep over to the metropolis on ferry
boats. There are at present three
schemes on foot for connecting the
city with New Jersey aud Long Is
land without the uss of boats. The
Jersey scheme will be one of the
largest bridge schemes in the world.
The proposal is to build six track
double deck bridge with a single
span of $500 feet, and run trains
direct from Philadelphia and all the
west into the city. This will be
great boon for Gotham and when it is
supplemented by railway bridge
into Brooklyn and another into Long
Island city New York will be very
advantageously placed so far as rapid
communication with the outside is
concerned.

OWNERS JUBILANT.
MIR. SutrO Quit.Claims Street
Land i'm Park Lane Tract.

1t is claimed by the members of the Park
Lane and Seyenteenth-street Improvement
Club that it has accomplished the main OBJ
Ject for which it was organized.
at meeting of its members at Seven
teenth street and Corbett road last night it
was announced that a deed for several
streets running through that portion of the
city had been made to the city by Adolph
Sutro. They claim that Mr.. Sutro had
promised to deed the streets some time ago,
Dut mad deferred the matter until the COM
mlttee was appointed by the organization
to wait on him. Messrs. B. Joost and w.
V. Stevens talked the matter over with the
owner. and an unconditional quit-claim
deed to the city was filed for record yester-
day.
The streets given are as follows:
From the north end of Seventeenth
street southerly to the center of Eighteenth
street, and from point 1856 feet west OF
Clara avenue, on the east side of the dis
trict, to the east line of Park lane, on the
west side Of the district. Ths will give an
opening for Merritt street, Corbett road to
the center of Eighteenth street. Ross, Mars,
Uranus and Minerva streets through to
Park lane.
The next steps to be taken by the club
are toward petitioning the Supervisors to
establish the grades and accept the dedica-
ton. Then there will be an effort on the
part OF the people in the Eleventh Ward to
have another driveway built to the park.
This will necessitate cutting through tho
hogs back of the hill near the monument,
put the citizens claim that the hill must be
lowered anyway, as it is now about fifty
feet above the reservoir. An effort will
also be made to get better sewerage, and to
have the Corbett road repaired. Com
mittees were appointed to wait on various
officers, and the meeting adjourned until
next Friday, April 18th.
