Business League to Solicit Sub-
script loos tVAogets Bonus.
IRON AND PAINT FACTORY
Owner Agrees to Move Prom Birm-
ingham to Invest $100000 and
Employ 100 Skilled Mechan-
ics if $3000 Be Given.
The director of the Houston Business
League met yesterday afternoon In the
directors' room of the league to take up
the matter of the Iron and paint manu-
facturing plant which W. H Rogers of
Birmingham Ala. proposes to establish
in Houston a mentioned In Sunday's
Post.
Out of the eleven directors and four
officers tea were present as follows:
Colonel R. M. Johnston. David Burks.
W. D. Munn. C. B. OUlesple B. D.
Harris 8. K. 81ms. H. YV. Cortes. W. D.
Cleveland Jr.. W. El Richards and
George P. Brown.
President Johnston called the meeting
to order at 4 o'clock and stated the
purposa of the assemblage lie then
called upon Mr. Munn chairman of the
manufacturing committee for a report
on the Rogers proposition that commit-
tee having had same under advisement.
Mr. Munn said that Mr. Rogers' prop-
osition was to move his plant to Hous-
ton curing bis own site and using his
own money; that he would guarantee
n Investment of not less than $M0oj0
and would employ 103 skilled mechafttps.
What Mr. Rogers wanted of the Business
Ieeuge he said was W0 to pay for
the transportation of his plant from
Birmingham to Houston. Mr. Rogers
claimed to have put up a forfeit of WMO
on certain Fifth ward property and he
wanted a definite answer from the Busi-
ness League by August 1.
BIMS FAVORS BONUS.
On the suggestion of Mr. Elms that he
Ixpress his opinion on the proposition
tfr. Kuan said the report of his commu-
te showed that he was In favor of
granting Mr. Rogers' request The Busi-
ness League he said had never paid
tay bonuses to secure Industries or man-
ufacturing plants and the only thing
ft could aay against It was that It
(night establish a precedent; but that a
bracedsnt had to be established asm
una If Houston was to forge ahead In
a manner thoroughly In keeping with tier
progress In other directions.
Mr. Cortes asked If Mr. Munn had
thoroughly Investigated the proposition
of Mr. Rogers and Mr. Munn replied
that he had done so only through letters
to Mr. Brown and by personal talks with
Mr. Rogers himself. He said he under-
stood that Mr. Roirers had recently dis-
posed of several valuable blocks of prop-
erty In Birmingham receiving therefor
something like $00000 and It was the
prooaeda of this sale together with his
plan and maohlnery that he proposed to
nveat In Houston.
Mr. Cleveland said ha was not W fa
vor of putting up any money until the
plant was on the ground and Mr. Rogers
had demonstrated his ability to fulfill
any contract he might make with the
Business League that they might agree
to pav the sum when a certain amount
say. $75.000 had been invested here.
Mr. Harris said he was not In favor
of a bonus where a business was sup-
posed to be profitable and lucrative. He
was willing he aaid. to. help In anyway
to afford Mr Rogers the advantages of
a pood site. " but he did not believe In
going down Into his pocket to make up
a fund with which to pay this bonus.
COLONEL JOHNSTON'S VIEWS.
Colonel Johnston said the matter If
giving bonuses to secure industries was
becoming practical In a good many
places as well aa the giving of free
sites. He knew of several occasions he
said when plants which contemplated
locating In Houston had been offered
sites and he w no reason why this
bonus should not be paid If Mr. Rogers'
offer was found to be genuine. He
would rnther have 100 skilled mechanics
in Houston he said than three new cot-
ton mills.
Mr Munn said some one had sent him
a report of a fund subscribed by the
cltlsens of Wllllamsport Pa. to secure
new Industries and which amounted to
the enormous sum of $21t.O00. The re-
port was sent him he said to show
"how a real up-to-date city went after
manufactories."
Mr. Gillespie moved that a special com-
mittee of alx be appointed te solicit from
the business Interests of Houston 13000.
to be turned over to Mr. Rogers at such
a time aa was decided upon by the di-
rectory. Mr. Johnston said he wanted to state
before the motion was put before the
board that the headquarters and ter-
minals of the fit. Louis. Brownsville and
Mexico railroad would have been located
In Houston had the cltlxens subscribed
$30000. The sum of $23000 was raised In
about two weeks he said but that the
committee could not approach within $7000
of the amount demanded by the railroad
with the result that the terminals went
to Klngsville.
MOTION iFcARRIED.
Mr. Gillespie's motion seconded by Mr.
Sims was put to a vote and carried)
t to I.
Mr. Munn said Houston had rivals
close at hand In Beaumont and Port Ar-
thur both of whom had deep water
and that we must have concerted action
If we expected to keen In the lead.
Colonel Johnston said he would confer
with the secretary and appoint the mem-
bers of the committee on Wednesday.
The matter of a fund to help the Com-
mercial Secretaries' association of Texas
was brought up by Mr. Cleveland who
aid that they had raised approximately
$1300 for this purpose but that they had
virtually promised $2000. There was some
discussion as to whether this amount
should stand as It was or whether the
$300$ should be raised.
Mr. Richards made a motion which
was amended by Mr. Munn. that the
secretary remit this money as rapidly
as It could be collected up to $1300. and
that the league take up the matter of
raising enough to swell this sum to
$1600 at the next meeting. August 11. The
motion was put to a vote and carried
I to $.

Real estate is the basis of all wealth and every man and woman should own
a piece of this earth. There is no other investment so safe so sure and so
certain to make large profits as real estate located in or near a rapidlygrowing
city. '
Population controls real estate values and especially is this true in thease
of suburban property. Where property is subdivided arid sold by firms cor-
porations or individuals the increase in ' value depends entirely on the de-
mand for that property as a place for residence) and unless th promoters
maWiai especial effort to make the property unusually desirable as a place
of residence or create industries which will furnish employment for people
who will make their homes on the property being sold the value is very
likely to increase slowly and the rroperty wUfbe saleable only when the city
grows so large that the property is needed for residence purposes. A
South Houston Property Will
Increase in Value Rapidly
In the case of South Houston we have taken a piece of raw prairie and
we are daily creating an increased value for this property through the loca-
tion of manufacturing plants etc. We are offering free sites and cash bon-
uses for manufacturing plants and have already located five good plants
all of which will be in actual operation within a short time. Many -others are
interested and we expect to close with one or rnore new ones at an early date.
Ve have donated a site of 25 acres of land and a cash bonus of $25000
for a large Female College and this college will be under actual construction
within fifteen or twenty days. We are now making contracts for the con-
struction of four miles of Shell Streets and eight miles of Cement Sidewalks
at a total cost of approximately $62000. We have drilled three artesian flow-
ing wells and others are being drilled the total cost Of which will be over
$4000. We have completed plans and will let contracts within five days for
the construction of a $5000 Public School Building. We will soon begin
setting over 5000 shade trees which will cost more than $6500. We are
offering $1000 cash bonus and a site to the first five churches begun at South
Houston total $5000. We are grading all the streets in South Houston over
40 miles at a cost of more than $5000 including ditches.
Where else around 'the city of Houston will you find any piece of property
offered for sale where so many developments have been planned dtnd are
under construction? Summed up the improvements in South Houston will
be about as follows :
Factory Cash Bonuses $50000
Grading Streets 5000
College Bonus 25000 s
Church Bonuses v - 5000 '
Shelled Streets and Sidewalks 62000
Public School Buildings 8000
Artesian Wells 4000
Shade Trees 6500
Grand Total Approximately
$16 5500
Just let your mind rest on this array of improvements for a few minutes.
Don't you know that when these sums have been spent and these improve-
ments are completed. South Houston will be a town of 2500 people? The
factory bonus fund will locate at least ten good manufacturing plants at
South Houston. The college will bring many families to South Houston to
live. In addition to all the above mentioned sums we have a bonus offer
outstanding of thirty thousand dollars for a street car line which is to be
built within twelve months. And in addition to this we have had surveys
made for a canal into South Houston which will bring boats and freight
barges right into the heart of the town. We have made no promises to carry
this deal through but it is our purpose to do so. This wilj cost us about
$125000 additional making a grand total of over $300000 which is to be
spent in making" of South Houston the very finest suburban town around this
city.
Is there any other locality around Houston where you can buy lots for a
low price and on terms of $5 down and $5 per month WITHOUT INTER-
EST and where any such an expenditure is going to be made to assure you
that your purchase will increase in value? When you spend YOUR money
for real estate get the best. SOUTH HOUSTON property is sure to make
big profits for you. Better act TODAY. TOMORROW you may need our
Free Insurance.
