San Antonio town crier Julius Myers dies at 102
Julius Myers known as a traditional town crier in San Antonio dies at his home on 123 Rolgin Street at age 102. He was a familiar figure at baseball games and public events, drawing thousands of residents and tourists over the years. The community chest will not be revived in San Antonio, per chamber of commerce officials after a vote among 22 participating charities. Businessmen favored restoration, but individual organizations voted against it. The 1919 note reports city club support for standardizing property assessments across Texas counties. Albert W. Huth of the state tax assessors association urged reforms, while San Antonio tax officials viewed the move as essential to curb profiteering. The Gulf coast relief fund near $15,000 is expected to reach $20,000 with continued solicitation led by A. W. Seeligson.
