MAYOR UPHOLDS
DECISION ON
BACK TAXES

Mayor John w. Tobin is of the
opinion that the back tax department
should collect all back taxes.
Saturday the mayor declared that
Tax Commissioner Frank II. Bushick
was right in holding that the school
board was overstepping its duties in
engaging lawyers to collect money
from delinquent taxpayers.
"Just as Mr.. Bushick pointed out,
two separate organizations trying to
collect money would serve only to in
flame the Debtors" Mayor Tobin ex-
planned.
Back taxes are finally paid up,
anyway" he added.
Recently the school board devised a
plan whereby it can collect back
school taxes amounting to several
thousand dollars.
In a conference with city officials
Thursday, Commissioner Bushick ex-
pressed his view.
Mayor Tobin backed him up.
The school board already had en-
gagged its attorneys to collect the
money from the delinquent taxpayers.
Commissioner Bushick Saturday re-
fused to reply to charges that his
stand was a political move.
my decision the other day is I'M
altered" he stated.

woman and her yankee" sister.

for a Sunday afternoon engagement,
before the Dallas Forum made it pos

here Monday night.

came known Saturday with the an
nouncement that the exposition
grounds on the eastern edge of the city. !.
have been practically paid for.
A debt of $4,000 on the land has
been liquidated with the exception of
one note for $4,000, W. A. Wurzbach,

Indicative Of the steady increase Ia
value of San Antonio property, Nh
Wurzbach said, he has been offered
$500 an acre for the 175-acre tract
purchased by the association. Z.
The land was bought few month";,
ago for $500 an acre.
CAMPAIGN FOR 100000.
The land practically paid for, Mr..
Wurzbach said, campaign will be
started at once to collect about $50, 900
of the money pledged by citizens when ,

According to present plans, the first
construction will be a concrete grand

grounds would then be turned to the
city to be beautified into a park.
San Antonio is recognized because
of its climatic conditions as the best
locality in the country for conditions
ing race horses, Mr.. Wurzbach said.
RACERS TO COME. 81

being requested, Mr.. Wurzbach said.
With the wealthy horse owners, it is
believed will come many of thu
monied tourists to attract whom the
Chamber of Commerce will spend
thousands of dollars advertising the
city as a winter playground.
The next step in the development Of
the International Exposition, accord-
ing to Mr.. Wurzbach, will be the con-
struction of permanent exhibition

it is eminently fitting that we
devote some of our space to a
frank testimonial of the eXcell-

dio in the successful practice of
an interesting, artistic profess
sion.
The art of photography,
which was introduced by De
Guerre nearly a century ago,
has within the period developed
from a mechanical trade to an
art of science, and the photog-
rapher of today must be a per-
son of advanced ideas and
thorough training, so as to sue
cessfully compete with those
who are now making this pro-
fession an art science. AS re-
CARDS the above, we can say
that this studio is in chrge of
a finished photographer who
has made a life study of this
interesting and artistic profes.
