San Antonio Chamber backs free Brackenridge golf course plan
The Chamber of Commerce directorate urged the City Commissioners to pursue a free eighteen hole municipal golf course at Brackenridge Park to attract tourists, boost year round golf, and promote local business. The plan, endorsed by Hotel Men's Association and supported by Mayor Brown, links park use with visitor draws and potential revenue from a small play fee. The group also backed erection of the Alamo Heroes monument at an estimated $700,000 and praised Fiesta, Battle of Flowers, Order of the Alamo, and Gran Quivern organizers for their efforts.
