q ELF analysis is the best sign of
| growth, be it man or municipality
! - Every mothers son Of Ell Paso's
population believes that this is the best
and the biggest town for 9ts size in the
world. But this does not blind them to
the fact that FL Paso can be made big
ger and better. It is to this end that
they have dug IN their store houses Of
original research and brought forth
original suggestions for a bigger, bet
These bigger Ell Paso boosts, boiled
down to their final analysis, read as
they run, follow:
New Municipal Building.
Mayor c. E. Kelly: eel PasO needs
a new, modern municipal building next
year, more than anything else that I
can think OF now. How to get it is
problem that the general public might
help the administration to solve and
any suggestions will be gratefully re-
ceived."
More Farmers; Less AgrieuIturists.
County judge A S. J. Eylar said:
More farmers and less aSrieulturists
are needed if FL Paso is to grow as
it should"
Thinks Money Too High.
Judge A Il Walthall said: Il don't
know, but it seems to me our money is
too high here Take into consideration
the way in which FL PasO is growing, the
enhancement of real estate values. and
I should think that money should be
obtained for less than eight or ten
percent A man would hardly realize
the growth of FL Paso until after he
had visited the residence section of
the city. With Mexico matters re-
moved it seems to me that we would
have a better FL PasO right away"
Bring In Settlers.
Claiborne Adams. vice president
chamber Of commerce. said: "El PasO
has some excellent natural advantages
as all Of US realize, but many things
must be done by our people during the
next few years to set the full benefit
OF these advantages
in anticipation of the completion Of
the Elephant Butte dam, q definite
campaign must soon be launched to
bring the right kind of settlers here
All of US must help and encourage these
settlers in every way in our power IN
til they have received a good start to-
wards permanent success. We need
more cooperation among our people
for the development of all our re-
sources; we must work together, setting
aside petty differences. By getting to-
gether and staying together for FL
Paso We will help the southwest
grow"
Open Up Mexico; Bring in Farmers
A Schwartz said; If we can open
Up Mexico and help farmers into the
valley both will mean a great deal for
Ell Paso during the next year. We
must all stick together and pull to-
gether. If we do that we can make q
wonderful city of Ell PasO. We should
find some way to get the big nonres-
ident property owners to contribute
their share toward conventions and
other efforts to build up the city. As
it is few have to foot the bills. and
have had to do so for many years
Spend Vacations At Home.
T0spDh NJ Npa1OU rftv attorney ffI,nf
everybody stay at home during vacation
next year and spend their money here.
1t is Just as pleasant and much more
profitable. We are paying 81, 600, 900
year tribute to summer resorts that
We ought to keep here. I stayed here
this summer and it was much pleasanter
than the last vacation 1 spent back
south and incidentally it was less ex-
peusive."
Let Autos Help Advertise.
Q. E. StrattOn, Seenral manager Of
Tri-State Telephone Co.: Eel PasO au-
tomobiles ought to have a tag bearing
the name FL Paso with their license
tags on the back of their machines.
When 1 was up in Colorado Springs a
number of Texas automobiles came
up there, and because they had the
Tex on the back, we knew where they
came from. 1t is good advertising"
Peaceful Mexico Needed MOST
J. ]. LOngwen, of the Longwen |
Transfer company: Give us Mexico as /
will have the liyest city in the state I
of Texas and the southwest If it were /
not for the disturbed conditions pre-
valent in the republic, the city would !
grow so fast that we would have to /
hump to keep up with il in the mat
ter Of furnishing housing accommo- /
dations for the influx of people who
would settle here 1t couldn't help
a slight and very slight, depression IS
the Mexican situation"
Settle Up the Land.
L NJ. Lawson, project engineer Tor
the Elephant Butte reclamation pro-
ect, said:
Eel Faso is the largest and most
thriving of any of the cities IN the 20
projects of the reclamation service.
With the completion or the proposed ir-
-igation system for the 10000 acres of
land, there is no doubt OF
is growth to twice the present popuIa-
ion.

ion for steady and prosperous growth

FL PasO's Natural Advantages.
s c. Aubrey. wholesale coal and coke
.ealer. said: "A wide-awake. progress
live, honest city administra ton an
nerEetic and broad minded press,
coupled with a loyal citizenship, IN my
opinion, are the most important and es-
entail features in the upbuilding OF
NY city. With the many natural ad-
SntaSes enjoyed by Ell Paso, some OF
which are unmatched by any c0mmuni-
y I know. Ell Paso should continue to |
hrive and ultimately become one of the
