Glenn, Wichita Falls; Heber E. Pampel, Temple; F. W. Steinman, Beaumont; M. S. Ryan, Laredo; J. P. Annan, Shreveport, representing Sanguinett & Staats, of Fort Worth. What a practical application of the principles of “The City Beautiful” has done for Kansas City in providing a magnificent park system, in Cleveland where municipal eyesoreshave given way to artistic landscape features, and in Chicago, in advancing the day when that city will have a lake front park sys tem that will be one of the municipal marvels of the world, the Texas architects hope to accomplish in a measure, at least, forevery city ofany pretensions in the state. Considerable business of importance was transacted. D. F. Coburn of the architectural firm of C. D. Hill & Company, of Dallas, introduced a resolution directing the association to arrange for an exhibit at the next state fair, which will embody some of the association's building ideas and attractively present the advantages of artistic construction. This was adopted. Atlee Ayres, of San Antonio, also introduced a resolution censuring the state university board of regents for going outside the state to select their architects at a higher rate of pay than is necessary to secure similar services from state firms. The resolution received warm support. Although some of the members were in favor of a vote upon the resolution, counsel prevailed which advised delay until the next annual convention. In deciding upon the Dallas meeting next year, November was the month chosen, for at that time the state fair will be in progress, and this is in order to give support and weight to the exhibit which it was already decided to introduce at the fair, exemplifying the association’s ideas of fitting architecture in the erection of new buildings in the various parts of the state. Fort Worth was the only serious contender for the convention honors. Telegrams were read from the chambers of •commerce and mayors of both cities inviting the architects to gather there. But Dallas was given the preference. The question came up of recognizing one of the architectural journals of the state as the official organ of the association, but this idea was defeated. A majority of the architects held that as there were two journals in the state devoted to their interests, and as each had shown equal consideration and courtesy to the organization, it would not be proper to show any recognition to one which was denied the other. A resolution, thanking the press of Houston for the courtesies extended the organization and congratulating the members of the local reception and entertainment committee for the amusement and hospitality provided the delegates was also heartily adopted. Entertainment and sight seeing was one of the features of the convention. For one day the architects visited Galveston and a portion of the trip was given over to the inspection of the government and municipal buildings of that port. The general attractiveness of design and architectural simplicity exemplified in Galveston’s buildings received liberal praise, and several members expressed a desire that at some future date the convention meet in that city. The architects visited Oyster Park, where a delightful repast was served of oysters in all styles known to the culinary art. Returning to Houston these city builders then repaired to the Bender Hotel, headquarters for the convention, where dinner was served. Afterwards they attended the coronation ball of King Nottoc XIV, in a body.
