MOTOR ENGINES
FREIGHT ON TEXAS AND PORT
O’CONNOR ROAD WILL BE
DRAWN BY THEM.
TO BE READY BY 1908
New Line Will Be Completed by End
of This Year Says W. J. Allen
the General Manager.
The Texas and Port O'Connor rail-
way which will be built from San
Antonio to the coast will operate its
freight and passenger trains entirely
with gasoline motor engines.
W. J. Allen general manager of the
new line in speaking of the road last
Saturday while in the city said:
"The new line will be completed by
the end of this year and we expect to
have trains in operation between New
Braunfels. Seguin Gonzales Yoakum.
Victoria and Port O’Connor by that
time. The project Is well financed
and capitalists with enough money to
build 20 roads like it are back of the
new enterprise.”

to use gasoline motors for motive pow-
er as there was a very light grade at
all points of the line and it has al-

$315000 BACK
TAXES DUE CITY
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY LEO-
NARD GARZA DENIES THAT
SUM IS $1000000.
TRYING TO COLLECT
On an Average Three or More of the
Taxes Are Paid Every Day
He Saya.
Assistant City Attorney Leonard
Garza in an interview this morning
emphatically denied the report that
$1000000 in back taxes was due the
city and that no attempt was being
made by the city officials to collect it
Speaking of the matter he said:
“I made an estimate about a month
ago of the back taxes due the city
and found that only $315000 was due
the city for all years previous and up
to the year 1904.”
"The 1905 rolls have not yet been
placed in our hands” continued Mr.
Garza "and are still with the city col.
lector. These rolls are not turned
over to the back tax office until some
time in April.
“As to there being no suits filed
against delinquent taxpayers I will
say that at the present time there are
over 1200 such suits pending in the
courts. There is an average of three
or more of these taxes paid daily and
the suits dismissed.
"In 1905 we collected $65000 in back
taxes for the fiscal year and since that
time the average collection of back
taxes have been between $4OOO and
$4500 every month which is consider-
ed a good showing. Of the $65000 col-
lected. a portion was collected by suits
and some paid voluntarily on the part
of the property owners.
“Most of the back taxes now due
the city are in small amounts. The
cream of the back taxes were collect-
ed during the Hicks administration
when large amounts were due the
city. Even at that time the city in
collecting these large Individual
amounts of back taxes compromised
for half of the amounts due and in
some cases even compromised for low-
er amounts.
“We never remit penalties Interest
or costs except when the assessment
Is found defective and many of the as.
sessments of property from 1877 to
1900 are generally defective. Of course
in these specific cases we remit the
penalties interest and costs.
"The city is making every effort to
collect all back taxes now due it and
will always file suit against parties
where it Is found that no effort is be-
ing made to pay such taxes due.”
THE SAN ANTONIO RIVER.
Of all the rivers on the list
Is there one with such a twist?
You well might put it down
As crossing every street in town!
The city needs no hall of art
Her river fills that very part.
Such things upon its surface grow—
We never miss a picture show.
And then at night with stars o’erhead
And twinkling lamps blue green and
red
Our river—who could but admire
When all its bosom seems on fire!
