The survey. compiled from reports

SHOWS
BIC GAIN OVER
PRIOR YEAR

WASHINGTON, Jan. .. - The
seasonal decline IN construction oper-
lions has made its appearance. accord
ing to conclusions drawn from sta
tistics compiled by the Associated Gen.
eral Contractors Of America. The de-
cline is robbed of some of its signifi-
canoe this year, however, because the
volume of construction still holds an
abnormally high position close to the
record breaking heights it reached dur
ing the summer.
Though the. volume Of construction
performed during October was per
cent smaller than the amount shown
for September, it was great enough to
set a new record for the month.
The total volume of construction
performed during the first ten months
Of 1925 exceeds by s per cent the
figure for the corresponding period IN
1924.
The average of construction costs in
the principal building centers declined
one point during October, reaching the
lowest position occupied since the
spring Of 1923, and registering a drop
of five points since July. The scale
based on 1913 costs, shows the index
figure for October TO be 209.
The average Of wages declined two
points during October, reaching the
index number, based on 1913, of 22f.
Although the month saw numerous
small fluctuations in prices paid by
contractors for the basic construction
materials, the average of prices re-
manned unchanged in October.
September was the seventh consecu.
tive month in which contracts awarded
exceeded by a considerable margin I'll
previous records for a corresponding
month. The total volume of contracts
awarded during the first nine months
of 1925 was 80 per cent greater than
the volume awarded during the first
nine months of 1924. The volume 81
building permits issued during Sep
TENDER was per cent smaller than tho
August volume.
The total of concrete surface pave
ment awards, including streets. alley
and roads. for the first nine months o.
1925 was is per cent greater than thu
corresponding volume in 1924.

HENRY HACELSTEIN HEADS
HUGE FARM LAND PROJECT

CRYSTAL CITY, Tex, Jan. g.
The last few days of 1925, saw the
beginning of actual development work
on the Henry Hagelstein subdivision of
the Byrd ranch lands near Crystal
City.
More than a year ago Mr.. Hagel-
stein of San Antonio acquired by pur-
chase from the owners of the Byrd
ranch tract consisting of about 90
600 acres of fine land in the shallow
artesian belt and since that time he
has been constantly at work formulat-
ing plans and getting real farmers in
terested in his position. He has
brought many prospectors to Crystal
City and has sold many tracts of land
to farmers in Texa. and other states
who are planning to return to Crystal
City and develop their holdings as
soon as they can make the prepare
tons required for big move.
Mr.. Hagelstein has been respons-
ible for getting Crystal City and the
Winter Garden District before the
eyes of the people in every part OF the
United Stataes and the publicity thus
given by him is in a great measure
responsible for great deal of the new
development work that is now going on
in every direction from Crystal City.

COLONIZATION PROJECT.

Mr.. Hagelstein has further shown
his confidence in this community by
buying a building on the main bust
ness street and establishing an office
here.
The scene Of his first development
work will be a tract of 200 acres To-
Gated just north of the model irrigated
farm owned by A. Z. Ponder, general
manager of the S. A. U. G. X. X. and
the newly elected president of the San
Antonio Chamber of Commerce. The
new farm will be located very near
the railroad and adjoining the original
Byrd farms at Byrd switch which are
rated as among the best and most pro-
ductive lands in the Winter Garden
cvtrict. Several hundred acres OF

DEMONSTRATION FARM.

His present plans call for a demon
stration farm to be established on the
new land which he is now developing,
and where he will establish within n
very few months one of the show
places of the Winter Garden District.
A variety of all the different products
that thrive here will be grown on the
200-acre farm. An artesian well will
be drilled and other improvements
made at once. The development work
is in charge of Roger Cook Of Crystal
City, who has been appointed as farm
manager and will direct the clearing
Of the land and other developments.
Twenty-Five miles of roads have been
grubbed and will be graded at once in
the south part Of the subdivision. Mr..
Hagelstein has been in Crystal City
for several days getting the worE
started. The people of Crystal CITY
and vicinity have been anxiously look
ing forward TO the time when actual
work would begin on the Henry Hag
elstein subdivision and his entry into
the field is looked upon as an import
ant event. The fact that he has been
busy for months working out his
plans bears testimony to the fact that

San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-03

new lands have been put into cultiva-

on 1000 acres reserved by them during
the past few months and many car
loads of such vegetables as spinach,
carrots, tomatoes, beets, cabbage,
onions, roasting ears, etc. have been
shipped from Byrd's switch on the S.
A. U. G.
With hundreds Of acres of fine
lands in cultivation surrounding the
Hagelstein lands, it does not take a
very far-sighted MAI TO see that Mr..
Hagelstein has one of the best coloni-
cation propositions in Texas, and with
in a comparatively short time, in all
probability, the entire tract of twenty
thousand acres will be dotted with
homes.

DOUGLAS RATES
ON ORES UNDER
Ell PASO RATES

meeting of the traffic committee
of the Chamber of Commerce was held
yesterday in response 20 : resolution
passed by the Chamber of Commerce
at recent special meeting, which was
addressed by James S. Douglas and
Charles b. Blaine, resulting in a spe-
cial committee being appointed to in
vestigate the rates on lead ores from
Arizona points to Douglas, the per-
sonnel of the committee being as fol-
lows Alfred Paul, chairman Fred
Hubbell d. c. O'Neil and George Bux-
ton
The committee met with w. c.
Barnes, general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific company, and after
a lengthy discussion it developed that
the Interested smelling. and mining
companies and the Southern Pacific
company early in March agreed upon
an adjustment; in fact, it was shown
that at the present time the rates on
ores from points in Arizona and Mex
leo applied on lead ores, as well as on
other kinds of ores and concentrates,
and that the rates from Arizona points
to Douglas are now on lower basis
than to Ell Paso.
Barnes expressed surprise at the ac>
tion of the Douglas chamber in APP
pointing a special committee to ham
die the matter of rates on lead ores,
inasmuch as the present rates on ores
and concentrates apply on ores of any
character. Furthermore, Barnes stat
ed, the mining and smelling compa
nies interested already have the mat
ter up with the Southern Pacific COM
pany and interested carriers for the
past several months and all interested
parties were conversant with that
fact.
The question of bullion rates was
also discussed at some length and
Barnes stated that, so far as he knew,
the Southern Pacific company had not
received any request for readjustment
of the rates on bullion from Douglas
to eastern seaboards or any other
points. Concerning reduction in the
present bullion rates, Barnes pointed
out that he did not understand the in
terest of the chamber in these rates
for the reason that the various smelt-
ing and mining companies had in their
employ competent Eraffic managers,
who, in his opinion, are amply able to
protect the companies interests which
they represent.
1T has always been the policy. of
the Southern Pacific company to pro-
tect industries located on it's lines"
assured Barnes, and he added that "our
prosperity is dependent on the pros
perity of the people we serve"
