Albuquerque daily citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1895-1903, 1903-01-01
GENERAL RESUME.
Concluded from page one.)

comfortable for the travel of vehicles.
All the bridges and culverts have been
recovered and several new bridges
built. A better sewerage system is
hard to find. IN fact the sanitary con
ditions of the city are looked after
carefully and no room is left for the
development of diseases. The street
commissioner uses to a good advan-
tage all the 'hobos" and DRINKS. who
find their way into the police court in
keeping the streets clean and in good
condition.
The councils interest in the public
health has reached the point where
of milk and foods. Albuquerque has
been and is adopting municipal meth
DDS and customs daily that her people
may enjoy the privileges as other citi-
zens do.
Buildings Substantial.
Real estate dealers have had a pros
porous and successful year. There has
not been a street, but on which prop
erty has been sold or residences erect
| ed.
The contractors say that the build
ers in the past year have, without ex-
ception. built modern equipped houses.
Many beautiful homes. with every
comfort and convenience, have been
erected in the past year. Not only
have they had a prosperous year but
there are better prospects for business
blocks and residences to go up in the
near future than ever before. Several
large business blocks are under cree
ton now, and many buildings have
been remodeled. There is no doubt
but that another year will bring with
it a new theater, postofiice and other
desirable buildings.
From an architectural standpoint AL.
buquerQue has as fine experts as are
to be found in the southwest; their
ideas are all modern and strictly up to
date. which is a favorable qualification
with the progressive citizen.
A Curio Center.
Albuquerque has gained a wide rep
u~tation and received much attention as
a curio center, Branch curio stores
are to be found in New York. Pitts
burg and Chicago, which are supplied
from Albuquerque. Advertising litera-
ture is distributed from these stores
irducing the people to visit the place
where such wonders are natural.
Transcontinental travellers cannot
fail to be impressed from the city's
entrance and form good opinions from
the depot and hotel built, as they are,
after the old Spanish missions.
Visitors Favorably Impressed.
southwest contains as many in
t. ing and wonderful places as does
the old world; from a historical view,
more. and the pleasure and sightsee-
ing world have come to realize it. Ev-
cry year brings more Inc more people
into the land of sunshine. and in many
cases they are so favorably impressed
that the city con won them as resid-
ents.
Police Protection.
While it cannot be stated that the
city is better morally, it can be said
that the police authorities nave done |
eifectual work in surpressing and pre-
venting crime. One new policeman
has been added to the force in the past |
year.
Continual Sunshine.
AS a municipality there is lacking |
the general clamor connected with a I
lively city. We miss the clang and
rumble of the electric car, the jarrine
noise of the heavy trucks over the
rough cobbles, the characteristic cry |
of the "newsie" and the jostling and |
pushing of the world of the streets, |
but we have a prevalent feature, which
surpasses all those everyday indica-
tons of city life, and that is an ideal
climate with a continual blessing of
sunshine.
A Bright Future.
Architects, contractors, builders and
all public interested men assert that
Albuquerque has a better future before
her than any city rim the southwest.
And this assertion is confined and
made favorable by the fact that a gen.
erous public spirit predominates.
If the progressive spirit of 1903 is
equal to that of 1902 there is no doubt
about a successful and happy new
year.
