The most courteous treatment guaranteed. j The WALK-OVER BOOT SHOP FRANK BROS. COMMERCE STREET was in a somnambulistic state and I dreaming that he was diving into a! bathing pool, that he made the wild!' leap. Falling squarely into a very thick 1 cluster of rose bushes is what saved the! life of the lad. The boy had been sleeping on a cot | on the front second s*ory gallery, his j cot being within a few’ feet of the| couch occupied by his mother. Mrs. Nel- j son w?s aroused fr ji her slumber by । the boy calling her from below. She! found him entangled in the rose vines I and it was with difficulty he was ex-; tracted. Beyond being scratched about I the face and body, the lad was none the I worse for his experience. Ralph does not remember having left j $3.50 TO $5.00 iis bed. lie says that just befo.e he vas suddenly brought to life by his :ontact with the thorny bushes, he was n a dream with himself standing on a ligh cliff and making a dive into a treat pool of water below. There is no luestion about him making the famous live, he had pictured in his dream, >ut instead of striking the cool and efreshing water he had seen so vividly n his sleep, he fell into the brush, rhe thickness of the vines and the fact hat the body fell squarely into them s all that saved the lad from perhaps 'atal injury. : Turkish is the softest toned of mod “rn languages. SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE much ran IN BUILDING DURING AUGUST Total Greater Than During July—September Will Go Ahead of Both, RUSH TO ASSESS PROPERTY Last Day Sees Scores in Line Death Rate for Month Low ( But Fire Loss Increases, Showing a very material increase over the record for the previous month, the close of August, according to the records on file in the office of City Building Inspector Leo M. J. Dielmann, show 275 permits -issued for improve ments in this city, representing a valua tion of $209,551. The cost of improve ments during the preceding month ag gregated $189,000. With the closing of the summer sea son, Inspector Dielmann reports that much activity is being manifested in building in San Antonio and that the month of September promises to break a few rccoras for the year. Many plans for new and modern business structures and handsome dwellings, he says, are being finished and permits would in all likelihood be taken out during the next thirty days. The month of A igust was the first month since the creation of the building in spector’s office that this department has been open all day. This new feature is said to have assisted in swelling the total receipts for the month. City Assesor Busy. Hundreds of property Owners filled the office of City Assessor Shiner at the city hall every hour during the forenoon and an equally big rush is ex pected this afternoon. This is the last day for the rendition of property, and, as is the custom, scores of real estate owners wait until the last moment. The rendition of property has been under way during the last three months, but the last day found the greatest rush. Following today, all property not ren dered will be placed upon the unren dered rolls of the city. Assessor Shiner and his force of deputies were taxed to the limit today and worked on through the noon hour working in re lays. Beginning tomorrow the asses sor’s force will begin the preparation of the tax receipts and the considera tion of unrendered property. The board of equalization will begin its work within the next sixty days. It is expected that about seven thou sand property owners will have assessed their property when the office closes at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The rolls in the office show over sixteen thou sand individual assessments. The num ber of persons rendering their property, however, shows an increase as compared with previous years. The increase in renditions, the assessor says, is large ly due to the building now going on in the city and that contemplated. The sale of real estate, he says, is extreme ly lively and has much to do with the healthy showing made in the rendition of property. Death Bate Very Low. The death rate for San Antonio for the month A August will be low-, ac cording to statistics on file in the health office. The general Jiealth of the com munity during the last thirty-one days has been excellent and the city has never been freer from contagious dis eases of all kinds. At the present time the records of the office show not a contagious disease repprted in the city. At noon today one hundred and nine ty-two burial certificates had been is sued. This represents deaths occurring outside of the city limits and those bod ies shipped here from other cities for interment and those dying here. When the secretary has calculated the actual deaths among those dying in this city, the local death rate is expected to show a verv decided decrease. Statistics also show that while the grim reaper has not been so very ac tive, the stork has been leading a de cidedly strenuous life and during the thirty-one days just passed has visited no less than la>3 homes in the Alamo City. The record, is not com plete, as many physicians and midwifes are negligent in reporting births in which they are in attendance and the total number will not be known until about a week hence. Fire Loss Is Larger. Because of the fire which demolished two blocks in the warehouse district a week ago, the fire loss for the month will be considerably larger than the average monthlv loss during the year by reason of fires. The loss resulting from this fire will aggregate $90,000. Aside from the warehouse district fire, the loss otherwise sustained was exceedingly small and will not reach $15,000. Practically three-fourths of the damage sustained by fire during August was covered by insurance. The total number of alarms turned in will reach 18, of which number four turned out as false. For eleven days, between Aug. 5 and Aug. 16, not a fire occun *d and not even a false alarm was sent in. The first consignment of the paraphei nalia ordered for the improvement of the fire alarm system reached the city vesterday afternoon, in the shape of four pedestals, which will be used for locating fire alarm boxes in connection with the underground circuit. The bal ance of the fire alarm equipment is ex pected to reach here the latter part of this month. Cupid Victor Over Divorce. Cupid won out handsomely in the fight with the divorce evil during the month of August, there being 108 mar riage licenses issued as against ,12 divorce suits filed in the district courts. The number of marriage licenses for the month is small as compared to the usual run, there being usually all the way from 130 to 150 during months. Similarly, the number of divorce suits filed is also small, be- BUT ONE CAN BE THE BEST To say that anything is the BFST, is making a mighty big claim for it, but that is what we claim and prove about our vehicles.
