The San Antonio city council set the 1916 17 tax rate at 2.03 per 100 of valuation, up 14 cents from the prior year, to cover 294 298 47 spent on permanent improvements and other current expenses.

Supreme Court rules will to dispose of co owned land requires clear intent
In Walter Avery et al v Dianna Johnson et al the Texas Supreme Court held that when a testator holds a partial land interest and his will disposes of the land, the will only operates as a conveyance of more than the testator’s own share if the language clearly shows an intent to treat and devise the entire property as his own. The law presumes one cannot dispose of another’s property and co owners have election rights when other estate benefits are created.
