City Owns Its Water Supply

The purity Of the water supply is
credited by physicians with being the
chief reason for the low mortality sta
tistics This. coupled with the fact
that San Antonio is an out-of-doors city,
place where people enjoy fresh air
and sunshine more than any city of this
size in the world, makes for good health.
Statistics show conclusively that San
Antonio residents are healthier than the
residents of the average city in the
United States. Pure wafer aud AN
abundance Of it are the foundations for
this condition. .
Tie thousands of green lawns, the
multifudes of roses aud flowers of cv.
cry description would be impossible
without ample water Through the long
summer days. The pressure remains At
the same high level as IN tie winter
time. Lawn sprays and garden hose are
. in constan, use and there is no lowering
of the available water supply because ii
is perpetual ~.
The waters FROM the San Pedro
Springs and from The beautiful springs
in Alamo Heights no longer are needed
for water supply for the city. Until
II few years ago, an accquia here and
there, diverted small supply of water
for yards and gardens adjacent there
10 but these bitches long ago ceased to
function and have been filled in. These
waters now find their way down the
beautiful San Antonio river. There,
below the city and for more than $50
miles thence 10 the Gulf They are en-.
ployed for irrigating the fertile farm
lands along the banks. The springs
that gush from San Pedro Park are
used to fill a large bathing pool before
cmptyins their waters into the creek
and the river, as it passes through
breckenridge Park also I,ovides another
delightful swimming resort.
San Antonio owns its own water
plant so this wonderful natural resource
never can be exploited to the loss and
detriment of the people who dwell in
this favored place. BY an overwhelm-
ing vote of the electors, the people wall
dated a bond issue which water rentals
in due time viii liluidate and the city
acquired this great artesian water sup
ply and distribution system.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18
"HE most wonderful water sup
ply in the world!

ply in the world!
Il This invariably is the excla-
nation Of water engineers who have in
spected San Antonio's water supply.
The Alamo City owes it's existence 10
the excellence of it's water supply. When
the first Spaniards came TO Texas from
Mexico, they found the only good water
in sufficient quantities for a settle
ment, at the great, sparkling springs Of
San Pedro and the source of the San
Antonio river in what is now Alamo
Heights. The Indians bad made use Of
these waters for many centuries ard one
Of the first conflicts in Texas territory
was waged over the possession Of these
springs, the Spaniards eventually Sc
curing control of this water supply.
However. the water supply Of San
AntouiO does not come from springs or
streams-at least those appearing at
the surface of the ground. The wonder
full. crystal-clcar. cold. pure water that
flows through the faucet IN San An
tonic homes never sees the T"ht Of day
until it emerges as the tap is turned
on. San Antonic's water supply is mr.
tesian it comes from great under
ground river 1900 feet below The sur
face % the earth and is obtained through
seventeen large artesian wells from
which the water Pushes with great
force due to rock pressure. This water.
which seems TO have its origin in the
great hill country TO tide north of San
Antonio, flows undo ground through
channels of water, sands and beds Of
gravel so that it is filtered more COM
plctely than could be done by science.
lis purity is 50 remarkable that lab
oratory tests have surprised the chem
lists. There probably is no finer sup
ply Of pure, clean water owned By any
city Of this size in America. Very few
cili : have as pure and as b0unteOus
supply of water which is used with
prosidality for every purpose. \ water
shortage is unknown in San Antonio.
The wells now in use produce 10000,
900 gallons daily. Other wells can be
put down as needed but the present sup
ply is based on the estimated needs of
double the present population 50 that
the existing water supply is sufficient
for sbne years 10 come even with the
city growing rapidly.

The Business of Getting
Ahead
At What Age Should a Man Retire!


A robust individual will not volun-
tarily withdraw from active business
life until he has built up compe-
tence. But every man who has be-
come financially independent is not
ready to retire.
Millionaires continue the chase for
dollars long after they have amassed
fortunes which far exceed their
spending power. The love OF the ad-
venture OF business leadership, the
desire to do constructive work. and
the will actively to supervise their
investments. keep the ultra success
full at the grind long after profit.seek-
ing has ceased to be necessary.
Although our crop of millionaires is
large and growing, it consists, of
course, of a small minority of eXcep-
tionally circumstanced men. The
average man, with dependents, may
find joy in his work, but he is also
driven by the lash of economic neces-
sity. To build up an investment
structure which will provide enough
income to finance the evening of his
life. after he has quit active work.
is the goal of every ambitious indi-
vidual who is intelligent enough to
realize that he depreciates as a pro-
ducing machine in the latter part Of
his life. Every we'll managed corpo-
ration allocates part of current in
come to special funds or reserves
against the wearing out of machinery
and other assets. The prudent in
dividual will take a leaf from the
book of corporate finance which old
age, accident and sickness ultimately
cause.
The Older Leaders.
Averages are misleading, but ac-
tuarial tables indicate that the
prudent man will not count on re-
tanning his full earning capacity long
after 60-certainly not after IS. There
are exceptions both above and below
this limit. John Aikman Stewart,
chairman of the United States Trust
