Approval of the amendment to the
charter will mean an increase of
$4,000 in Mayor John w. Tobin's sal
airy and $4,000 increases in the sal
aries of Commissioners Bushick,
Wright, Steffler and Lambert. The
mayor now draws $4,000 annually and

SAPSCO
Company's Annual Report
Shows 1925 Year Of
Prosperity.

Growth chat has necessitated the ex-
penditure of S1,J00,000 for the OK
pansion of public utilities. has been
San Antonio's Development during
1925.
This facr and bright prediction
for the future are seen in prelim-
mary report of the years business AMI
activities, prepared by officials of che
San Antonio Public Service Com
pany. made public Wednesday.
The report substantiates with fats
and figures the optimistic generaliz1
tons and conclusions that business
men of the city have been drawing
from observations during recent
months and holding up as indications
of a coming period of industrial de-
velopment.
POPULATION INCREASES.
Outstanding in the report are fig
ures to show that at least $1,000 new
residents of n substantial nature have
joined the city's population during
the year just closing.
This is indicated by the fact tnat
a total OF 5000 new gas meters and
5000 new electric meters were III
stalled during the year. Each new
electric meter, statistics show. repre-
sents an increase Of four persons in
population.
While the increase in population
will doubtless exceed $1,000, officials
of the company said, that many new
names in the directory next year are
certain. The class of population req.
resented by meter installations, theS
said, is always high.
A large snare OF the money spent
during the year for Improvements and
expansion, officials said, went for the
construction of new pipe lines and
electric lines to serve new homes anC
industries. The demand for the ser
vice, it was said, is not temporary, but
will continue into the future, increas
ing as the city grows.
The public utility growth is consid
cred an unimpeachable record of the
city's steady and consistent progress
FORM NEW COMPANIES.
The company during the year, ac
cording to the report, was one of thc
largest contributors to the city in the
form of taxes, paying in excess Of
$4,000. The company in 1925 hat
an average of more than 1000 employees
with payroll of approximately
100000 during the year.
The greatest single stride forward
as indicated by the report, has beer
the organization of two companies al
associates of the company. They arr
the Comal Power Company and tn
South Texas Public Service Company
The former, by erecting a power plan
ON the Comal river, will make avail
able TO the city a power supply witt
a potential capacity of over 100000
X. W. The latter company will pun
chase power from the Comal compan,
and distribute it through the towns O
