San Antonio Promoters Push for Rio Grande Valley Railroad
W J Hogue of The Dalles submitted a new proposition to the Business Men's club railroad committee to build a line south to Pleasanton. Negotiations with the committee failed over terms of a $10,000 indemnity and $40,000 in terminal facilities, with San Antonio backing and bank security to be provided. The committee reserved the right to consult San Antonio banks, insisting on a solid guarantee before further contact with Hogue or any railroad.

Million Increase Expected in City Tax Assessments
City assessors anticipate a sharp rise in property valuations for San Antonio in 1907, with a substantial financial impact on tax rolls and municipal revenue projections. Officials caution the figures may vary as new records are reviewed.
San Antonio Property Assessments Seen Soar in 1903-5
City of San Antonio expects assessments to rise by more than a million dollars, surpassing 54.66 million for 1902-3 as full renditions reflect higher cash values. New builds, land price surges, and recent permits over half a million dollars influence the totals, with final figures awaiting the city board of equalization in October through year end.

A polarizing push in Texas politics seeks to tighten primary voting by forcing voters to prepare their own ballots. Prohibition groups push for a law to restrict straight-ticket voting while targeting German and Spanish speaking counties in South Texas. The effort follows disappointing primary returns for Bailey allies and signals a broader drive by prohibitionists and water wagon advocates ahead of the next session.
