San Antonio urged to build more apartment houses

Real estate men urge capitalists to invest in apartment houses in San Antonio, noting strong demand from tourists and long waiting lists for existing properties. They cite examples like the Toltec, Evergreen, Havana, Romana, Randolph, and Affleck as profitable models and point to reasonable site prices in the business and semi residential districts. Construction is already underway on several new buildings with costs ranging from six to eight thousand dollars.
