H. E. DICKINSON TO
OPENS NEW ADDITION
ON BLANCO ROAD
"Norland Heights" Out OF
City But Will Have All
Conpeniences.

With the purchase Of the McIlvane
property, on the Blanco road, which en-
braces 200 lots, H. Il. Dickinson, real
estate man, will open a new subdivi-
sion. He has named it "Norland
Heights" 1t is located just out Of the
city but city water mains are being
laid on the property and Mr.. Dickinson
is preparing to equip his new addition
with every modern convenience enjoyed
By residents within the city limits.
On n tract of land just outside of
the city limits between the Beacon Hill
street car line and the Blanco road.
Mr.. Dickinson is contemplating open
ing one of San Antonio's finest sub
divisions. The tract is known as the
old McIlvane property and is being
cut into full-sized lots. The fact that
Norland Heights is outside of the city
limits but still easily accessible to the
business district is one of the advan-
tages the property offers. Property own
ers will not have TO pay city taxes. Ii
is unusually situated. Mr.. Dickinson
says, and has large frontage on the
Blanco road. All improvements will be
made in Norland Heights, he says, in
Guiding graveled streets and gas, sewer,
light and water connections. Water
mains are already being laid on the
property.
To reach Norland Heights buyers will
pass through some of the most uip-ro-
date residential districts of the city and
over paved streets. The Beacon Hill
car line borders the subdivision on one
side and the new Beacon Hill school is
only four blocks from the new addition.
There will be 200 lots placed on the
market with the opening of Norland
Heights in March, Mr.. Dickinson an
nounces, and at reasonable prices and
terms.
The growth Of the city is in this d.
rection, Mr.. Dickinson believes. and.
therefore, his new addition will be at
tractive TO the investor ms well as the
prospective home owner. 1t is also sit.
uated among some Of the most valuable
real estate in and around San Antonio.
he says, and one-day sale is expected.

Los Angeles Heights. He also reported
that provision had been made for the
removal of the Given's street mission

REFINERY GAS WITH
DISAGREEABLE ODOR
MAY PROVE USEFUL
Service Company Negotiat-
ing With Grayburg for
Purchase of Fumes"

The Public Service Company Is try.
ing TO buy the gas from the Grayburg
refinery which gives off such bad
odor and which caused so many COM
plants a few weeks ago. According
to L. II. Kifer, vice president and gem
eral manager of the company, it would
be valuable to mix with natural gas so
that leaks could be detected by house,
holders. Natural gas is practically
odorless and for that reason there is
some danger. However, with the odor
from the refinery mixed in, ii is be-
lieved that it would serve to warn any
one before a leak might terminate fatal
ly.
This gas would burn with the natural
gas so that there would be no odOr when
the fuel was burning properly.
An analysis of the refinery gas is
being made by experts of both COM
panies to determine its heating quali-
ties.
If the gas contains the heating quali-
ties and other necessary requirements,
it will be mixed in a small percentage,
with the natural product.
Mr.. Kifer intimated that il is very
improbable that there will be sufficient
of this gas to mix and that il there is.
it must come from the refinery under
considerably higher pressure than It now
dos in order to make a practicable mix
ture. If the gas can be used to an adj
vantage by bringing it into the largest
main near the refinery, the project
would possibly be worth while, accord
ing to Mr.. Kifer. but if the gas has to
be taken from the ref,nery to the gas
house of the Public Service Company,
it will make a large investment neces-

United States District Attorney John
d. Hartman, Assistant United States
Attorney William Williams, and Dis
trict Clerk ID. ii. Hart, will leave San
Antonio for Del Rio Sunday.
-Four men from San Antonio have been
arraIgned before the United States COM
missioner at Del Rio, recently, for al
legged violation of federal laws in con-
nection with the seizure of 80 bottles
of liquor and two automobiles by Gus
toms inspectors, state rangers and cOun-
ty officers at point near Uvalde. No
intimation was given at to whether
the alleged activities Of the four would
be made the subject of a grand jury
probe.
Expect Sensational Revelations.
Rumors current at the federal build
ing IN San Antonio are TO the effect
that sensational revelations of snug
glIng activities along the border will be
made as a result of the session of the
grand jury at Del Rio.
Among those who will leave San
Antonio Ger Del Rio, Sunday, several
have CLnouncCG that they expected TO
return within four or five days. While
this TACT is indicative that the grand
jury will remain in session for only
a short time. yet it is not positive proof
that such will IL the case, as the con-
tinuei presence of all the court Of
firialS would not be essential during the
entire time that the grand pury is in
session.
