to the all-around work of Matthews,

OIL SHOWING is
ENCOUNTERED IN
ICHTHYOL SHAFT
Potranco Development
Company Seeks Valuable
Medicine Near Here.

A stratum of gypsum which is heaT-
ily saturated with oil in places was
found last week by the Potranco Dc
velopment Company at depth OF so
feet in its shaft for an ichthyol mine
being put down about fifteen miles
west Of San Antonio near the. Pot
rance road, Frank z. earle, president,
reports.
The Potranco Development Com
pany was organized several months
ago for the purpose Of developing land
owned by Mr.. earle. which is located
between the Cstroville and the Culebrs
roads. on the Potranco road. Several
tests had been made on the land for
oil and it is said that showings OF the
ichthyol were found. Ichthyol is an
oily substance having peculiar bdor
similar to dead fish and is said to be
exceedingly valuable for medical pur'
poses.
The Potranco Development Com
pany is putting down a shaft and eX-
pects to mine the ichthyol in large
quantities. According to Mr.. Care
the shaft is down so feet and it has
been necessary to blast a hard rock

BUILDING TOTALS
$368,69O HERE IN
LAST THREE WEEKS
Property Worth $780,
GIG Changes Hands as
532 Deeds Filed.

With the total Of $115,915 worth
of new buildings being authorized for
construction in San Antonio when ST
people applied to the city building in
spector for permits, building last week
showed a marked increase over the &C.
tivity of the prior week. Real estate
activity was up 10 the average for this
season Of the year. as a total of 1GS
deals were made involving property
worth $500 ,433. The first three
weeks of October showed a total of
532 deeds filed representing property
worth $1.550, 100 which had changed
hands. During these three weeks
building also reached a total valua-
ton of S36S,G90 when 20i building
permits were issued.
Although last week was not the
largest of the year for new building
activity here, it brought several large
building permits, mostly for homes.
and with its average total of $11J.91J
it may justly be placed in the class
Of the best building weeks of 1923.
William +. Schultz took out the
largest home permit, which was for
$4,000. This was taken out Friday.
A. l.. Thorman's name also appeared
in this days list. He will construct
three dwellings at an approximate
cost of $500 each on Felisa street.
w. A. Baiy. home builder, also took
out three building permits for dwell
ings to be constructed on kaytOn ave-
nue. and Elsmere place at costs rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000.
Monday the largest number Of build
ing permits were issued by Gus Nigel
and Joe Bova. city building spectors,
although the amount authorized to be
spent tOtaled S30.S2J and on Friday
this figure was exceeded somewhat By
total of S39.135. However, on Fri
day. only nineteen persons applied for
permits.
Real estate trading in San Antonio
and other parts of BeXar county main
tanned its weekly average, according
TO the public records at the court
house. With one or two excep-
tons there were no large deals made
during the week and the majority of
the trading included property worth
from $3.50 TO $4,000.
SO far indications both for new
construction and real estate activity
in San Antonio for October are eX.
cellent. During the first three weeks
of the month trading and building ac-
tivity have been unusually good for
this season of the year. Although new
home construction has slumped con-
siderably in various parts of the city.
the weekly lists of building permits
show that activity is steady. in fac
more so than it has been this year.
October is not expected to set a rec
ord in new construction nor in real
estate trading but in all probability
it will show a steady demand for
homes and new property.

BY WALTER SPLAWN.
Railroad Commissioner of Texas.

Senator CumminS began his sixth
article with the statement: The best
minds of America are in absolute
agreement respecting the desirability
of consolidation. That is a sweeping
generalization. One would infer that
whatsoever all the best minds would
agree upon would likely be desirable.
If by consolidation as used in this
statement the senator meant TO in
clude any and all kinds of railroad
consolidation, he would perhaps be
almost correct. Many are OPPOSED to
the present law which calls for imme-
diate and wholesale grouping of the
road in accordance with a prepared
plan, who are favorable to a gradual
or progressive consolidation, as com
binations of certain properties may be
shown to be in the interest of the pub
lie. However. careful reading Of the
article reveals that the senator had
in mind rather narrow use OF the
word consolidation and that he was
referring 10 combining the roads IN
a short time in conformity to n grand
scheme drawn up by committee.
That is to say. he evidently meant for
us to believe that the best minds favor
either voluntary consolidation or com
pulsOry grouping according 10 a plan
prepared in obedience to legislative en-
actment.
Exceptions Are Cited.
Mr.. Never, the present chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, could no doubt qualify as among
the best minds. Yet Chairman Meyer
has never expressed himself as in ab
NTH SnnatOr t'Ilm-
Minis proposals nor with the method
'of consolidation favored by the present
law. Chairman Lovett of the Union
Pacific is counted as one or the grea'
minds. /. +. Force is conceded &c
have a good mind. These gentlemen
are strenuous in their opposition to
the senator's idea Of consolidation
So are others. Senator Cummins, one
would think, hesitates to include any
railroad executives amon9 the best
minds Of America. He says IN the
third sentence of his article sic, mo 4
Of the big railways are fighting i
consolidation.
II the most of the big railways arc

its deSirability." just a breath earlier
he said the best minds of America are

desirability of consolidation. Then h'

tOrneys from his group of best minds

his arguments. but that they refuS'

This house avoids the commonplace
in design; in every detail it shows
unusual character; it is a house that
would stand out in distinction from
its neighbors.
Yet there is nothing freakish about
the design, it is throughout. in the

it is unusual and distinctive. 1t fol-
lows the old English type.

roofs that a pleasing vcriety in form

Typical Financing Plan.
The following is quoted from one
realior, and is typical of the financing
plans which are being offered by
others with slight variations:
For n lot owner who has pur-
chased his domestic from US, we will
build n bungalow home upon payment
Of 20 per cent cash. We furnish 50
per cent of the money necessary to
complete the building. For instance
a domestic costing $1,000 and the cost
Of the building at $1,000, total $500.
the 20 per cent cash necessary is
about S1700, balance payable 1 per
cent per month including interest at
Z per cent per annum payable monthly
on deferred payments. II the home
sire is all paid for. then 5000 cash in
addition is required, at which time
construction of the home is started,
and as fast as working conditions
permit, we complete it and deliver it.
ION q accompaniment house the re
quirad payment is % per cent cash.
We. lrnish a. per cent Of the money
necCSsary to complete the building, as
the following example will explain ::
If the home site costs $1,000 and a
two-apartmcnt building ST. 900. total
S14. 900. the required % per cent cash
is $500. balance payable ] per cent
per month including interest at Z per
cent per annum payable monthly on
deferred payments. If the home site
is paid for, then the required cash is
only $1,000.
THE building cost Of bungalows
thus financed is limited to $4,000, and
two apartment buildings to $4,000
~ home site with all necessary
street improvements such as sewer,
water, cement sidewalks. gas, cleo
tricity and paving. may be purchased
from Us on terms Of II per cent cash
aud ] per cent per month and inter
est q per cent per annum payable
monthly"
The above is merely cited as one
