1 1 STILL CITY Of MB Ml
ITS GROWTH STARTED IN EARNEST WITH Till! ADVENT
OF THE FlIiST RAILROAD INTO. OUR UTTLF. CITY
THE BUILDINGS M IBM M SUBSTANTIAL
Many Publc Building Have IWn Erected. Splendid Residence
Grace Many of the Principal building Sites Over the Ci!y Also
Fine Sanitariums Church and School Building.
Prior to 1 99 Lubbock wa. truly
the example of the proverbial "wide
tpni iii the road". Il was a little in-
'iinil trading point with population of
less Uiun 1.000 but even in those day
-Alien freighters hauled mJ i the mer-
chandisc to the city irn.l freighted
the products out Lubbock was recog-
nized an the principle trading city
In r.(i;i the first steam engine
moved into Lubbock bringing with it
ihe outside wosj l's idem of pro-
greaaive business and it coterie of
merchants business men and hunger
on. The fimt year the city increas-
ed to a population of 2000 making
strides ahead of any other city on
the new railroad. With the railroad
came building. Home were erected
business blocks were put up to
house the new busine institutions
and to care for the increasing trade.
The city was in' a hustle snd bustling
with business. Today the population
is over 6000 showing that the
growth and development was substan-t-al
and has increased steadily during;
the ten years that the railroad ha
been here.
In the growth and development of
a new city tt is appropriate that the
writer govern its stages of growth in
period of ten year each. Taking
that a- a criterion Lubbock is today
' facing its second period of growth
end development. Of course it is
not anticipated that this growth will
be as phenomenal a the last ten
j -ar in numbers of immigrants yet
tl. ire is no logical reason why in
1930 thi city should not have a pop-
ulation of 15000.
Reverting buck to the h story of
building and building operations the
reader may get some idea of thii pos-
sibilities for the future. The build-
inr prior to 1HI2 w-ns the usual con-
struction of busine blocks to meet
the emergency ihe building of new
residence and similar buildings. In
1913 however just three year after
the advent of the railroad more sub
1.intal buildings were started and
in 9.'i the budding fever w given
a great rmpetn hy the erection of
the Went Texas Sanitarium or the
Overton Sanitamim This : a three-
stiry modern substantial brck
structure erecvd at on approximate
cost of 170.000 Thi' foib.wTjf

nn institation which would do credit
to any city west of the Mississir pi.
?nd which draws patronage from u!l
the territory west of the M .iippi.
'I (lis building 'i erected at S cost
of approximately 1 1 ii.l.ooo and is
tlie essence of advancement and de-
v.j'opment along this line. Modern
ir very respect the cit.en of Lub-
b ck an I the plains country are just-
ly proud of ft an 1 the men responsi-
ble for its i rectum. fur:rg the last
year the city school district has rx-
psnded ft.t.000 tn the erectmn of
two nen- school houses brick in ma-
terial and modern and far above
slate regulation which is pertly re-
sponsible for Lubbock maintaining a
school system classed as the best of
sny city its sire in the Slate One-of
the most up to date and modern
eounty government buildings to be
found anywhere in the State of Tex-
as was completed last year. This
modern budding in the center of the
square in the heart of the business
district surrounded by beautiful
park and shade trees was erected at
a cost of approximately $130000.
In 1917 the Methodist congregation
erected a church edifice which is im-
posing and handsome and which cost
in the neighborhood of $.r0.0OO. The
eounty expended $9.1.000 for six new
brick school buddings in the rural
districts within the Inst year.
These buildings mentioned above
are among the more important struc-
tures which have been erected which
does not include several extremely
modem business blocks banks and
mercantile establishments two large
wholesale house and numerous resi-
dences. Some of these residences
entiling as high as $15000. A sig-
nificant fact is that this building was
not done under the auspices of a

in ait-sly
boom neither wer" hoo.-i method
adopted. The bui'ding Wu nothing
n ore nor less than the results of
foresight and good business judg-
ment and the success and steady
growth of the city has proven be-
yond a shadow of a doubt that those
who were responsible tor this build-
ing knew what they were doing
Today with the exceptions of
course of a few the buildings envied
in the earlier days of the growth of
Lubbock all the buildings now erect-
ed are modern pretentious in many
instances and substantial and hand-
Isoine in all case. The reader may
get some idea of the advancement in
'the summary statement that more
jlhun half a million doliars wn ex-
pended during the last yenr in public
buildings and nearly an equal amount
in business blocks city residences
and fa nn improvement. And again
'the majority of these buildings were
contracted under pre-war prices and
if erected today would cost twice the
amount paid fur them.
And the general consensus of opin-
ion i that Lubbock is again fac.ng
a building era and an era of progress
and development Several business
h'ocks are to be cn-cted soon or in
other word as soon as labor can be
'secured and proper materials placed
on the ground. Mary of the-e budd-
ings will be extensive and large struc-
ture and w.ll replace some of the
earlier day build. tigs which "til!
stand as a monument to those stur-
dy pioneers who worked with so much
dil. genre to bring about th.s steady
development. There have been sever-
al new buildings completed at the
present time including the new
letililmg now occupied by the Unit-
ed State pt office which is located
n such a place as to demand the ex-
tension of the business section of the
ii'y. It is estimated by the lumber
dealers and those interested in the
furnishing of the materials for budd-
ings tht at least thirty to thirty-five
ne' homes .ire either in process of
construction or contracts have been
. t for them while plans haw been
drawn and all arrangements made
f r the erc'ion of mnr.y more as
soon as material and hem is avail-
able for the carrying on of the work.

Civic improvement hss also had its
attention in Lubbock. Many miles of
cement sidewalks have been con-
structed lined with shade trees and
well kept lawns and at a recent elec-
tion held on a paving proposition the
vote was overwhelming in favor of
the paving bond and only a few days
ago a contract was let by the city
commission for t'i'i't.V.M.l 3 for pav.
jng. It is the plans to extend this
paving from time to time until all
available blocks in the city are paved.
This building operation comes as a
result of the prosperous conditions of
i the Plains country which has been
brought about by development of re-
! sources and means that it will con-
tinue with the development of re-
sources r.ml immigration. Lubbock
