The necessity for concentration OF efor
by tbs citizens of Houston to further tn,

than now. Houston has reached that poir

and opportunities. Il IS but at the throsh-
old OF Its commercial destiny.

Its development
It's retail trade Is capable OF a vast ex-
pansion. simply by Improving the means
within tho city's borders FOR easy and
rapid communicated between different dis
tricts through good streets and avenues.
It's health and the comfort OF living can
be added to by drainage ana better and
more sewerage.
The factory plants can be probably and
easily doubled by effort on she part Of the
citizens
Is any attempt beng made to accom-
rilsh this desirable development? Are not
the business men themselves and the c!ii.
zers generally, sitting idly by and waiting
and hoping for batter and creator things
without putting forth tho effort nccessrry
to secure them? Ana in the meantime are
not other Texas cities, such as Fort Worth.
DALLAS san Antonio and even Galveston.
actively discussing ways and means FOR
growth and Improvement
We need concentration Of thought and
action here upon soue ot these ways Of
acquiring new power and prosperity. new
people and new enterprise. new comforts
and additional local attractions. The city
IS rich admirably situated. well equipped
for aggressive ac,lon. There is only one
thing needed-vicorDus and harmonious
concentration Of efor, or the TART OF The
wide-awake citizens in any given direction
OF development and progress
Nothing is ever accomplished without
labor, and labors are futile unless copeen-
trated upon some specific object. Let the
business and progressive clements get to-
