NEW PARK PROGRAM
PLANNED FOR 1926
City, With Aid of Railroad Company,
Plans to Beautify Miller and Caesar
Parks.—Other City News.
At last Thursday's regular rtty
meeting, practically the entire time
given over to business connected with
the uproaching paving program, with
representatives of I he paving con-
tractors present at the meeting.
After due consideration, the Com-
mission decided at this meeting to
attempt a more pronounced park pro-
gram for the year, and particular at-
tention will be devoted to what is
known as Miller and Caesar parks.
Special arrangements have been made
with railroad officials whereby this
work is taken over by the city. Gulf
Coast Lines railway officers were con- berry, A. L. Kleberg, C. H. Fla o. Mr
suited, and have agreed to co-operate | Kleberg, as a member of this com
most heartily with the city. It is the
plan of the Commission to undertake
a decided change in the parks, both
of them being plowed up and set to
grass, with shell walks, flowers in
season and with a general appearance
mittee, has liberally given of his ex
pcrience and knowledge of such af
fairs and been instrumental in offer
ing counsel almost otherwise impos-
sible to obtain.
A number of lesser city affairs were
taken up and disposed of during the
of inviting attractiveness. The rail- j 8everai recessed meetings of the Com-
road people are very anixous to see j iHjasjon since first of the year,
it done, and it is believed that the Following is report from heads of
believed that the
general public will appreciate the
difference, oven though the expense
incurred is to be considerable.
At a recessed meeting of the Com-
mission, held Monday afternoon of the
present week, final papers having to
do with the city’s contract with the
light and power people, were present-
ed. thoroughly discussed, and will no
doubt bo signed at an early date.
Present at this meeting, acting will)

members of the Commercial Club’s
public utility committee: Mr. Rasp-
Taft Ranch Lands
With a perfect Bottom Season assured: with most of our lands
up and clean ns a pin; with plenty of thoroughbred seed in hand
to plan*, our acreage, wo have a wonderful prospect for a bumper
1926 crop.
With deep water just around the corner, all speculation is elimi-
nated: with Big Business predicting tor Corpus Chrlsti, the great-
est port for agricultural produce in the Nation.
With a Boom on the way, just as surely as time, everybody says
it’s coming- your own subsconscious mind tells you its coming—
you can even feel it coming. IT IS COMING.
What will happen in San Patricio County if we make a bumper
co ton crop this season? Let us ask you what will happen if we
Just make a fairly good crop—
What will happen in San Patricio County, when the Port at Cor-
pus Chrlsti is opened and we can deliver our products by truck in
an hour to the docks that load it for the world’s markets—
What will happen in San Patricio County when the Boom comes
bringing with it the brains,’energy and wealth of the whole coun-
try—
And, as a recapl'.ulation, “picture in your mind, this great cotton
producing area, this wonderful climite, this great Black Land Belt
of the South Texas Gulf Coast, should all three become a reality—
should all happen at once."
The question is, aro you going to ge‘. yours now—or will you wait?
Just now wo have on the market, some of the world famous Taft
Ranch Farms. Some on the highway, some off. These are without
doubt the most desirable proper ies in this country. We also have
some undeveloped lands in sizeable tracts, all priced to sell—live-
able terms, too. May we serve you?
8incerely yours,

At the first two fires to occur since
the passage of the ordinance regulat-
ing traffic during the actual time of a
fire, there was little or no attention
paid to the law, though it was publish-
ed twice in full in the Kingsville
Record. The Fire Department desires
hat the risk to life and property be
eliminated at the time of a fire. Only
through the proper observance of the
law as it has been regularly passed
can this objective be obtained.
This ordinance is a city law and
he enforced. Get your old Kingsville
Record and read up on the law. At
he last two fires the public ignored
the law entirely. Some of the firemen
were delayed in getting to the fires on
account of having to dodge traffic.
The Mayor has issued instructions to
police and traffic officers to arrest, all
violators of the law. If you are called
before the City Judge, be prepared to
pay your fine as no excuses will be
taken.
If you are conmiaded by a city fire
man to carry him to a fire you of
course not violating any law hut are
classed as a fireman. Should traffic
or special police ge. your number, you
are requested to appear before court
and simply explain that you were ask-
ed to assist a fireman. The law either
must be enforced or it naturally does
not amount to anything. Be.ter read
up on the law or you will get caught
in the violation of it.
Harry Stuth, Chief.
Boosters Responsible for Emigrant to
Kingsville
Mr. Sam Skaggs, a delegate to the
Odd Fellows Annual Encampment
meeting at Corpus Christ! this past
October came from Saratoga., Texas,
with a dual Interest. One was to at-
tend the Encampment, the other to
make arrangements to move to Cor-
pus Christi. He is an expert dairyman
and was intending to settle in Corpus
but when he saw the Gulf Coast Lines
Booster Club No. 1 from Kingsville,
parading down the main street of Cor-
pus with a big band in front and fol-
lowed by a long string of Boosters, he
said to a friend at his side: “That is
the kind of bunch I want to throw in
with; I am going to settle inKings-
ville among alive wire community."
Monday, January 4th, Mr. Skaggs
moved to Kingsville und the next day
purchased eighty acres of choice land
southeast of town. He returned to
Saratoga January 7th with a new un-
derstanding of community co-opera-
tion, and will return in the spring with
thirty head of fine blooded dairy cat-
tle and other stock.
Mr. Skaggs has already made ar-
rangements with Mr. O. M. Kellogg,
a rechecker in the Auditor’s office, and
a personal friend of his, to arrange
for routing his cars of household
goods, implements and stock when he
moves.
All of this goes to show that our
railroad boosting is not limited to
freight and passenger receipts but
boosts the welfare of the whole com
munity. a Booster.
