CONSIDER BIDS FOR
BUILDING TOLL ROAD
Advisory Board Decides to
Start Work When $40000
Fund Is Raised.
Bids for the construction of the
proposed toll road to the Medina
dam were considered Friday morn-
ing at a meeting of the advisory
board at the Groos National Bank. It
wa s found the construction of the
road will cost approximately $40-
000 of which about $20000 has
been subscribed. The board took the
stand that no work shall be begun
until the whole sum required is sub-
scribed. On that account none of
the bids was accepted. Those pres-
ent included Joseph Frost. Clint H.
Kearny J. K. Baretta. Franz C.
Groos Frank Weinrich. Sam C. Beu
John W. Warren and Secretary Wil-
liam H. Furlong.
Three arguments were advanced
as to why stock in the toll road com-
pany win be a good investment and
these will be used xs "talking points”
in the solicitation of subscriptions. It
Is pointed out that the road will be
a public benefit that it will be good
as a sporting proposition and that
it ought to pay from its Inception.
The fact that during June. July and
August. 1914. a total of 4036 ears
visited the dam is taken as an indi-
cation that with a good road more
than double that number would
made the trip in the same period.
Secretary Furlong said he believes
the road will La ready for use by
March 1 1916.
ARCHITECTS OPPOSE
SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS
Pass Resolution Asking City
Authorities to Remove
Them.
The San Antonio Society of Archi- '
tects has gone on record as opposed
to bill boards and electric signs un-
securely placed on the tops of build-
ings. At a meeting of the society held
Thursday In the office of C. V. Seut-
ter president of the organization a
resolution was adopted setting forth
the view of the society with reference ।
to bill boards. This was as follows:
“Be it resolved by the San Antonio
Society of Architects that our mu-
nicipal authorities be requested to
take st**ps towards removing bill
boards from the streets of the city.”
The point was made by Ja nes
Wahrenberger. author of the resolu-
tion that such sign boards no longer
are permitted in El Paso and that;
there is nothing which makes a .
street more unsightly than bill
boards. At the same time he declared
that electric signs unsecured* fas-
tened to the roofs of buildings not
only increase fire hazards but art? a J
source of danger to pedestrians.
