ASK
bUENA VISTA
De PAVED
First Step in Opening Up
New Traffic Artery
inDowntown Section.

With more than Is per cent of the
residents having signed the petition.
Street Commissioner Paul +. Stefflcr
will be requested within the next few
days to pave Buena Vista street from
Medina to Murray streets, a distance
of one and one-half miles.
Knowing that the owners wanted
Buena Vista improved Commissioner
Steffler set aside money in the re-
cent S1.000,0O0 bond issue for
municipal improvements TO pay the
citys share of the paving.
Mrs. Ethel Young, 1412 Buena
Vista street. active in the circulation
of the petition, said Friday she was
almost certain there is large enough
majority to demand the paving.
OPEN NEW ARTERY.
Those backing the opening of Mar
ket street into Rusk street, which
will create q new traffic artery
through the downtown business dis
trict, regard the paving of Buena
Vista street as the first step in their
project
As soon as Buena Vista is paved,
the matter of creating the new artery
will BE- easier, it is pointed out.
The proposal, which drew Mayor
Tobin's approval, is to widen such
portions Of Buena Vista and Dolorosa
as are necessary, the latter running
into Market street which. it is hoped.
will be extended through South
Alamo street to Rusk.
DIRECT ROUTE.
This will give automobile traffic
a direct route from the southern and
eastern sections of San Antonio to
the western section and Prospect
Hill.
Commissioner Steffler has endorsed
the project and the mayor has prom
ised some definite action MS soon as
it is seen if any funds are left after
the remainder of Market street has
been widened.

What Madge Hears When She Finds

 From it there presently began to emerge shadowy harks of comcJcture, each moro fantastic than the one preceding it. Lee Chow had been Hugh Grantland's faithful servant for many years; or al least this was his assertion, although Lillian's statement had shaken my belief in the validity of his claim. He had led me to believe that nothing ir life mattcred to him save the serving of his master, both in solving the mystery of his disappearance and ir carrying out the army officers com mands concerning me.
 Yet he had said he want yer much to talk 10 sick lady"
 Then, too a cut-back of mcmor, showed me the stricken girl shaking me and dcmanding-somcthin' clicked deep in my consciousness Ire pieces of the puzzle fitted to Eether in a pattern so outlandisI that I burst into laughter at my owl overwrought imagination. l there with resolved to indulge no more i, conjecture or deduction, but to wal patiently for developments in thi bizarre problem.
