The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce outlined a deficit of 8491 to raise for the motor repair shops site costing 39,341 with 29,000 government support. Only 1850 of the chamber’s share is subscribed as officials seek pledges from locals to fund the deficit. The shops, seen as an industrial asset postwar, aim to attract hundreds of families and stabilize the city’s economy. The military fund had been 10,000, a Brooks Field water main cost 5670, and a hospital aviation clinic with 1250 in instruments. Subscriptions are sought to cover the 10,000 needed, with the shop’s value estimated at 2,000,000.
