Towers to support the antenna, 100

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. March 23-The
antl-bond men profess to be wholly
pleased with the adjustment of the
matter of providing funds for the
state highways with the adoption of
the three-cent tax on gasoline and
the referendum of the matter Of pol
icy-bonds or pay-as-you-go-for the
building of highways.
Overwhelming Vote.
The referendum is to be a state
wide affair. the result of the ballot
ing in November. to be certified by
the governor as a state vote and also
by house and senate districts. The
senate passed the referendum by a
vote of "a to I. and the house ap-
proved the gasoline tax bill by vote
of II to II.
The agreement to have the refer
endum compromised had the effect of
ending a long and tiresome debate
both sides agreeing to abide it, and
both sides claim that they have won
on the points for which they contend
ed AS matter of fact. both sides
have made concessions, much to the
delight of the people. and the whole
matter now will go to- the voters for
their determination.
Stands Taken.
1t was declared on the floor of the
senate in the few short talks by some
Of the speakers that they will not
abide the result OF the statewide
vote, but will abide the decree Of the
voters Of their districts. Others said
they will observe the mandate of the
people at large regardless of how
their constituents voted.
In other words. if their districts
vote against bonds and the state SAYS
for bonds. they will vote for bonds.
The reverse is taken by others.
Political Fight On.
The fight Is on from now to the day
Of the election. with the certainty
that several of the members. particu-
larly in the rural sections. are ex-
pected to have the time of their lives
in obtaining nomination. The
meaning of the struggle is that there
will be party nominees by the several
parties in practically every district.
The house and senate membership
will be chosen this fall.

Il. X. Stanford. president of the in

Not. only have students been en-.
rolled from San Antonio but many

list Of accredited schools, many in
quiries have been received from other
states, including New Mexico. Okla.
boma, Arkansas, Louisiana. Missouri
and even Mexico. In addition to the

Are Almost Unanimous in
Opinion That Site Is Best
Possible and Maintain 1t
Advertises San Antonio.

"San Antonio couldn't do worse
thing than move the tourist camp out
of Breckenridge Park, and am sur
prised that the women want 1t moved,
are the words in which Rev. Jesse
Lee, pastor of the North Side Method
list church of Houston expressed his
opinion of the petition of the ,wo-
mems clubs to have the camp site
removed from the park.
DIR. Lee arrived in San Antonio
Thursday afternoon with his wife
and three children to spend two
weeks resting at the park with sew
eral other Houston people who were
already there.
The camp site is IDEAL" he con-
tinued. Il wouldn't want to camp
here if it was not in a public place.
Tell the women to investigate the
character of the people who want n
more private location, and in most
instances they will not find them the
kind of people San Antonio or any
other. city wants to entertain.
Breckenridge Park is so far ahead
of the noted Forest Park OF ST.
Louis that there is. no comparison.
The fact that the tourist camp is
located in the park draws many
tourists of good character from all
parts Of the country. I'm surprised
that they even think Of such a thing
as moving it to some other loca-
ton 4"
Business men. farmers and tour
lists of all classes are emphatic in
their condemnation of the effort be-
ing made to move the camp site. All

al have camped on the lakes OF
Minnesota and heard people up there
say they were coming to San Antonio
to camp in Breckenridge Park" said
Il. A. Chopper, whose home is at San
Juan in the Rio Grande valley.
Tourists who camp here tell other
tourists about the wonderful park
you have, and everybody who hears
about it wants TO see it. Take the
camp out of the park and you will
ruin this town for tourists as well
as lose a wonderful tourist trade.
"This camp is the cleanest | have
ever seen: the people who stop here
are the most neighborly of any tour
lists / have ever met; and ! have
never heard of single thing being
stolen from q camper in this park.

there was so much vulgarity that de-
cent people had to leave, but have

road where l can see lots of people"
is the answer Mrs. \ A. Braden gives
to those who say tourists desire a
more private camp ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. Braden stopped for few days
in Breckenridge Park on their way,
from Missouri TO their home in the

RESOLUTION To.
STOP CHANGING.
OF OLD NAMES.
Bushick Would Place City
on Record as Opposed
to Alterations.
REASONS ARE CITED
Says San Antonio Should
Preserve Old Annals
and Traditions.

Tax Commissioner Frank Bushick
will present a resolution to the city
commission Monday proposing to place
the city on record as opposed to
further abandonment of the historic
names of streets and plazas. Mr..
Bushick declared Saturday that he
fayors retaining the romantic and
historic names that attach to san
Antonio thoroughfares and would
contest any plan in the council. 10
change these, names.
The resolution also proposes that
the. name Westcett Place given to
old Romano Square. be abandoned
and that the old name be reinstated.
The resolution, in keeping with the
sentiment expressed by many San
Antonians, follows:
Whereas. San Antonio has ro-
mantle and heroic history extending
over 200 years. under the flags OF
six different sovereignties. or hia-
toric periods, including a. the per-
iod of Spanish discovery and dis
puted dominion with France: 90
the period of. Mexican rule; (3) the
period of tn, Revolution from Mex
/. leo and the Republic of Texas; az
the period of Statehood after An
nexation to the United States :~l3)
the period of the Confederacy or the
Civil War; 90 the period Of Recon-
struction; and -
s whereas. We should preserve for
their historical and educational value
the annals and traditions and
nomenclature of the past, not only
because of their value as attractions
to;tourists and visitors, but TO, honor
the pioneers and patriots who found
ed and bequeathed to lis the priceless
heritage of "a Christian civilization
and republican government of law
and liberty, now therefore
r Be il Resolved; That it Is the
sense of the City Commission OF the
city of San Antonio that both
practical and sentimental consldera-
tions make it desirable to retain the
early historic names by which our
streets and public places have been
designated by law and sanctioned by
long use. and that no changes OF
such ancient and historic names
should be made hereafter except for
a necessary and compelling reason
of public interest as distinguished
Sfrom mere whimsicality, desire for
. novelty or; mistaken devotion to a
strite modernism. N...
Resolved further. That in pursuance
of the above policy, which has re-
.ceived the endorsement of various
patriotic and civic organizations OF
our city, that Westcott Place, voted
by the City Commission two years
ago as the name of the plaza at the
intersection of Main avenue. Ro-
mana and Camden streets. be changed
back to its original and historic name
of Romano Plaza. an historic name
which has attached to that locality
for a century and continues to be
used BY the general public.
Resolved further. That the city en-
gineer be instructed to make the
necessary changes on the city maps
and plats, showing Romano Plaza
instead of Westcott Place.

personally. | would prefer q
quietor place in which TO camp" said
Frank McElrath, superintendent and
one Of the proprietors of the -Four
States Press, morning newspaper OF
Texarkana, Tex. This is fine
place, but / had rather camp where
it is not so public" ..
Mr.. McElrath was the only tour
list interviewed who thought that n
more suitable location might be found.
He said he was impressed with the
neighborly spirit exhibited by the
campers with whom he came in con-
tact. No sooner does q newcomer
reach the park than he is made to
feel at home by the friendliness of
the nearby campers.
Families camped al. the park vary
in size from two TO the ten persons,
pet dog and two pet badgers in the
camp of Caleb c. Rutledge. All buy
their provisions from San Antonio
merchants while they are here. The
value of their bushes can readily be
seen when it is remembered that there
are from forty TO a hundred families
eamped there every day throughout
the summer.
Tourists are almost unanimous in
their opinion that San Antonio will
make n big mistake if tile camp is
removed from its present location.
