NEW SCHOOL SITE AT
MASON AND AUSTIN is
BOUGHT FOR $21 900
Board Decides to Move Mi
lam School; Building Has
Been Condemned.

A new site at Austin and Mason
streets was purchased at cost OF
$4,000 BY the San Antonio school
board at an adjourned meeting Thurs
day afternoon. The site will be the
future location of the present Milan
school. The Milan school building at
Mason and blackberry streets has been
condemned by the school board archi-
tects. Phelps and Devices.
Prior TO the purchase of property
on Austin and Mason streets, mem
bers Of the school board discussed the
relative advantages of erecting new
building on the old site rounded out
by the purchase of adjacent property,
or erecting the Milan school upon an
entirely new site. 1t was decided that
the difference in cost was so small that
it would not warrant the loss of the
use of school rooms that would be en-
tailed while the building was being
torn down and another erected.
. The one-story type of junior high
school was selected for the Shook site,
Yorkshire and Berkshire avenues.
The school board architects gave
detailed report on the sinking of the
Herff school foundations and recon-
mended that measures to prevent
further sinking be taken Immediately.
The school board authorized the work
to be let Immediately.
Among other matters considered was
that Of protection of school property.
As a result of the discussion the
board decided that wherever janitor's
quarters can be established in the new
schools, one or two additional rooms
will be built and man deputized and
kept on the school grounds.

PUBLIC SERVICE
HOLDINGS WILL
BE APPRAISED
City Votes to Have Private
Audit of Valuations Of
Property.
STATE ALSO TO ACT.
Railroad Commission Will
Have Engineer Appraise
Gas Division.
STATE ALSO TO ACT.

Passage of a resolution providing for
an appraisal of all the properties Of
the San Antonio Public Service Com
pany-gas, electric and traction; the
charge by Commissioner John z. Pfeif-
fer that COMMISSIONER William o. Red
en- already has exceeded his budget for
the fiscal year and lively row between
the street and taxation commissioners
marked an unusually long session of
the city council Thursday afternoon.
Rieden and Pfciffer opposed the APP
praisaI resolution, which wa intro
duced by Commissioner Phil Wright,
while the mayor voted with the two
hOld-over commissioners. A lively tilt
also ensued between the mayor and po-
lice commissioner when the former COM
planned that the resolution had not been
brought up in caucas before its intro
duction in the council chamber.
After pointing out the fact that the
Public Service Company is fighting the
city's natural gas rate ordinance, that
the company is threatening higher
street car fares, that the lighting con-
tract expires on February ], and that
the proper appraisal has never been
made of the company's properties, the
resolution provides that steps be taken
at once to provide for !. complete survey,
inventory and appraisal of all property
of the San Antonio Public Service Com
pany useful and necessary in the rendi-
ton of the respective classes of public
utility service engaged in by said COM
pany. as well as a complete audit of the
company's records and book touching
capital account and charges to Operat-
ing expenses, etc." The city attorney
is authorized to negotiate with compe-
tent consulting and appraising engi'
neers and auditors TO ascertain the
cost of the work and. report as expedi-
tiOusly as possible to the council.
State 70 Survey Gas Properties.
The railroad commission at Austin
late Thursday, had granted the appli.
cation of the city to have engineers OF
the commission make survey and ap'
praisal Of the San Antonio Public Ser.
vice Company property, before hearing
the appeal Of the company to determine
the gas rate question. 1t WIS stated in
dispatches from Austin that X. d. Par.
ker. chief engineer of the commission
will make the inspection at his earliest
convenience.
Despite this it is contended that the
city also needs a survey. because the
commission likely will survey only the
gas division Of the company. while to-
city should know the investment the
company has. in all of its properties. in
order that the question Of street car
fares and electric light rates may also
be fairly determined.
In explaining his resolution Commits.
sioner Wright pointed out that the city,

Auditor.

State Auditor Robert Bracken said
today he would suggest to the State
finance board that a suit to mandate
him to turn over the S1,40Q,00 gaso-
line tax collections to the highway
department be fled. He said he would
waive the usual ten-day notice period
in order that a decision might be OBJ
tanned Immediately.
Several State officials said that
Bracken's refusal to pay over the col
lectlons, pending Supreme Court de-
clsion of the laws constitutionality
was mot for the sake of protecting
himself against certain contingencies
he has mentioned but for the sole
purpose of embarrassing the admins
tration."
A balance of $4,000 is in highway
funds.
Bracken declared, In answering the
political" charges, that he recalled
the $500, 900 and refused to pay the
remaining 100000 in order to give
protection to all gasoline taxpayers
pending the court decision.
