NEARLY ALL 5. A.
STREETS ARE
PAVED

Only 1880 miles of the 700 miles
of San Antonio streets are unimprov-
ed, according TO a report to Street
Commissioner Paul f. Steffler from
the city engineers department, Mon
day.
And, Mr.. Steffler points out. a large
portion of the recent $1,O00,0O0 bond
issue for municipal Improvements will
be spent on the paving of these thor
oughfares, many of which are located
in the districts bordering on the city
limits where there are few houses.
OF the 566.11 miles of improved
streets, 1868 miles have been sur
faced with permanent paving, the fig
ures compiled by l. Ewig and L. ii.
Coghill, city engineers, reveal.
The total number of miles tarviated,
is 24.64. In the city parks there are
6.64 miles of roadways which are tar
waited also it is pointed out.
The greatest portion is either ma
cadamized or graveled, according to
the engineers. Three hundred and
fifty miles are covered with the two
substances.
In 1913 a 81, 500, 900 bond issue for
street paving was approved and IN
1919 an issue for $3.50, 900 was passed.
Following the $45O,0OO bond issue in
1924 for street improvements and
markers, the $1,OO0,OOO bond issue for
municipal improvements, approved a
few days ago, sets aside $250,OOO for
new paving projects alone.
The permanent paving includes the
following list of toppings: New rock
asphalt, 97.79 miles; old rock asphalt,
2; bitulithic, 1922; bituminOus mH-
cadam, 1.5S; asphaltic concrete, $50
creosoted woodblock, AGA; brick paw
ing, 1858; reinforced concrete, 14.OS 4;
non. reinforced, 4.56; granitoil paving
6.S7, and vibrolithic, .16 mile.

FLOWERS IN S.h

WHILE GOLD

Gardening Bids Fair L
Become Important
Industry Here.

While persons living IN that large
block Of the United States described
vaguely - the North and East, are
huddled over steam radiators or scurry
before penetrating blasts, flowers are
blooming in San Antonio.
Instead Of digging into coal bins,
San Antonians are digging in gardens.
And, to many at least, digging in
gardens means more than Just
pleasant pastime.
An average Of cns carload Of
flowers day Is being shipped out of
the city at present to parts of the
country where winter has laid its
hand, according TO figures compiled
BY florists.
SEE INDUSTRIAL POsSIBILd-
TIES.
That. it Is said, Is but a small
part of the production of San An
tonic flower gardens. Local florists,
it is estimated, consume one-third Of
the city's output. Much more is
bought by persons who deal direct
with the growers.
Summed up, figures show that
flowers do more than decorate the
homes, the churches and the pleasure
haunts Of the rich.
They decorate the larders and the
wsrdrobes Of a little knot of San
Antonians who have realized the in
dustrial possibilities of flower grow
ing and who bid fair to make the
city one OF the producing centers of
beauty loving nation.
BRING HIM HEALTH. =
From q death bed with poverty
stalking nearby, to health and finan-
cial Independence is what flowers have
done for one San Antonian.
A few years ago J. +. Coulter was
prosperous painting contractor. He
was just reaping the reward of years
of endeavor and had built a beautiful
home in Beacon Hill when the hard
ships of his calling took their toll.
He contracted lead poisoning, the
dread disease of men who hands
paints, and the. entire foundation Of
success he had built was swept away.
Months of sickness followed and he.
was compelled to sell his expensive
home. He bought small place at
5O4 Francisco Street, off of the Som
erset road, and moved there with his
family, hoping to make a living by
raising vegetables and chickens.
FLOWERS DID 1T.
By living in the open and remaining
away from paints. doctors said he
might live a short time.
Today he is not only the picture Of
health, but is once more climbing the
ladder of financial success.
Flowers did it.
Unable to keep body and soul to-
gether by truck farming and raising
poultry. Mr.. Coulter turned . raising
flowers as last resort. He now owns
seven 25-foot lots and has rented two
lots, all of which are planted in flow
ers of every kind.

WRITER Is ON DEVIOUS
BOAT TRIP IN EUROPE
Crosses Holland, Germany, Ba
varia and Austria in Little
Auxiliary Yawl.
By 4. X. DECKER.

BY Radio to The Star sndChicago Daily News.
VIENNA. August 15.-Negley Far
son, staff correspondent of The Star
and the Chicago Daily News, and Mrs.
t,arson on the auxiliary yawl Flame
have arrived in Vienna after an ad-
Venturous trip across Holland, Ger
many, Bavaria and Austria.
The pair followed the Rhine and
Main Rivers and then by a devious
and little known route entered the
almost forgotten Ludwig Canal by
which, in 10l locks they crossed the
Frankischer Jura Mountains.
Most Germans and Austrians have
forgotten the Ludwig Canal and look
skeptical when told that the Parsons
came this way Leaving the canal,
the Flame entered mountain tribu-
tarY of the Danube and soon was
caught in the torrential Danube itself
and whirled through it's dangerous
'strudels" or whirlpools.
t'arson accomplished the hitherto
uninterrupted feat of descending the
Danube without a pilot. He shot the
Flame through the only feasible arch
of the Regensburg Bridge. through
the rapids and through the wildly pic
turesque Wachau Gorge - but not
without finding numerous concealed
banks and bars. The craft now is un-
dergoing repairs at Vienna, while Mr..
and Mrs. Farson prepare for continu-
alton of their trip to the Black Sea.
Although the lofty mountains have
been left behind, the next stages of
the voyage promise further adven-
lures through the Hungarian plains,
the dangerous Irongate Pass and the
bandit infested swamps of the lower
Danube in lower Rumania.
