This is believed to prove positively that the Atlantic Petroleum rig is sitting

government have been marked By
sound business administration and 8
wike-avake efficiency.
An especially notable achievement
is the solving of the water works
question. The water service is a nat
ural monopoly. Under the decisions OF
the courts, the city was practically
powerless to compel the laying Of new
mains and 10 fix rates regarded az
reasonable. Under such conditions
municipal ownership seemed desirable
and the administration negotiated the
municipal purchase Of the entire wa
ter plant without any expense what
ever TO the taxpayers. The plant was
bought by an issue Of bonds against
the water plant itself and the receipts
of the water plant, some $4,000 per
month, are more than sufficient at
the present rates TO operate the plant
under a liberal policy and pay off the
bonds. This means much TO San An
tonic in the future.
Another factor is the fact that the
contiguous trade territory Of San An
tonic is as large as the average Amer
lean state. Its unsupported sgricul-
tural and mineral resources are being
developed upon q large and successful
scale. A proven oil field of unusual
extent lies all about US. The Magic
Valley Of the Rio Grande and the
Winter Garden artesian district. lying
next 10 our back yard, are proving a
veritable wonderland in citrus fruit
and vegetable production.

PERMANENT

AT the present rate Of consumption
and reforestation. the lumber supply
Of tie world will be depleted in the
next 20 years" said a recent report
OF committee to President Coolidge
on the condition of the lumber supply.
The use Of lumber is increasing an
nuaily and indications are that the
supply Of lumber will not last that
long.
As the age OF lumber passes, in all
| probability at the end Of the twentieth
\ century. the world will have to turn
TO another kind Of building material.
II will turn 10 clay products, which
are made from he earth.
MANY BRICK HOMES.
The future city will be constructed
Of brick. tile. stone, concrete and
other similar building materials. It's
skyscrapers and homes will be almost
without a stick of wood. If care is
taken nov. the homes OF % years
from now may have wooden doors.
window frames. trim and possibly
wooden fittings.
This is the prediction Of J. c. Mac
ManuS. manager of the Alamo Brick
Company.
Brick and other clay products
have been for thousands Of years the
supreme building material. The Old
World is constructed almost entirelS
OF stone and brick. Many castles and
mansions, which have endured for
centuries and have passed from one
generation 20 another, were construct!
ed Of these permanent materials. Many
buildings. which have fallen and have
been buried for thousand years or
more have been unearthed TO find the
brick and stone used in their walls
still in the same condition as. BheD
they were built" ne says.
WEARING QUALITIES.
The wearing quality Of the brick
is again shown in some Of the Oldest
homes in America. Some Of the first
structures built in the New England
states are still standing and will be-
In good condition for many years To-
come.
Regardless Of weather, the brick
structure will remain in the same con-
dition year in and year out for many
centuries. In few years after a frame
home or building is built. II begins 20
decay and will finally ruin, while the
brick structure will appear practical
ly new.
People are fast turning to brick
and tile for homes and every year the
number is greatly increased. Hundreds
Of structures. from house to sky
scrApers. are being started in America
daily. The lumber being used in them
Is draining our forests, while the brick
and tile supply-is ineHhaustible rs long
as there Is any earth. For this reason,

Banker, Optimistic, Says
City to Be Greater
Industrially.

"A vision OF San Antonio in the
future naturally leads to optimism, '
says z. ID. Bonner, vice president OF
the Commercial National Bank.
Within the next 20 years can
visualize a city with more than 400
600 population, and with a business
district greatly expanded. From the
Past increase in building, believe
property values will have more than
doubled in size. Office buildings no
doubt will be 20 stories or possibly
more. Factories will be taking ad-
vantage Of the abundant labor, mild
climate, cheap power and fuel. I feel
sure thousands Of desirable homes
will be built by people who will dis
cover in that time that San Antonio
is the most delightful place in Texas
in which to live" continued Mr.. Bon
ner.
MANY ADVANTAGES.
San Antonio has more advantages
than any other city in the Southwest.
As soon as the citizens awaken to the
opportunities that are awaiting them,
San Antonio will be known as a manu-
featuring center of the Southwest.

vantases and prospects in view for
this city and are responding to the

cal business men are investigating
