Main street, in the center of thecity. runs south from the bayou. All streets running parallel with Main are desig- nated as "streets;" all running at right angles to Main are called " avenues." One hundred numbers are allowed to a block, so that one can tell from the number the distance from a designated place. Main street is numbered from the bayou south, so that No. 601 is the seventh block from the bayou. The city is divided into districts, with a named street as a base, the numbers on the avenues or cross streets run east and west from the base line, dividing at 1000. Exam- ple : Main Street District, Con- gress Avenue, No. 900 is in first block west, and No. 1001 is in first block east ; No. 501 is in the fifth block west, and No. 1501 is in sixth block east. The actual points of the compass as relates to Main street are thus : HOUSTON. SHORTLY after the battle of San Jacinto, April 21, 1836, A. C. S: J. K. Allen, located the City of Houston. On May 5, 1836, the Congress of tlie Republic met in adjourned session, and from that date until 1840, Houston was the Capital of the Republic. For a short time after that date — in 1842-1844, it was again the Capital City. In locating at the head of tide-water on Buffalo Bayou, our fathers builded better than they knew, for the location has given our cit}^ a commercial ad- vantage not shared by any other city in the State. The bayou, with its direct "deep-water" connection, gives the city the benefit of ''water competitive rates." This, with the twelve railroads centering here, makes Houston the best distributing point in Texas. ''AH Railroads in Texas lead to Houston." Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change, in his last report gives the cotton "deliv- eries" for six months ending February 28th, at 8,467,655 bales, of which Texas furnished 2,893,396 bales, or over 34 per cent, of the whole. At the same date. Secretary Kidd, of the Hous- ton Cotton Exchange, reported that the gross re- ceipts of Houston, had reached 1,629,023 bales — 56.3 per cent, of the Texas crop, or 19.2 per cent, of the whole deliveries. These receipts stand second only to those of New 6 Dealy & Baker's Guide to Houston. Orleans, and show Houston to be the largest interior cotton receiving port in the United States. The value of our bayou to Houston, and the State at large, is best seen when we note that of cotton only, there were shipped from September 30th to March 8th, via the bayou, 455,254 bales, of which 182,000 were delivered at ship's side in the stream, saving all drayage and wharfage charges at Gal- veston. The banking facilities for handling the business of the city, are ample. With five National banks, showing $1,671,000 capital and surplus, [see reports of March 5th, 1895], and $2,400,000 deposits, and two private banks with large capital, all legitimate business demands can be accommodated. Our Clearing House reports show for the past six months, the volume of business to have reached $156,597,191, a weekly average of $6,138,354. Nine Building and Loan Associations afford assist- ance to all desiring an opportunity of owning their own dwellings, on easy terms, and the many resi- dences erected during the last five years, show that our people are strong in the belief that ''there is no place like home." The area of the city proper, is nine square miles. Surrounding it are "additions" so well built up as to seem part of the city. Houston's population in 1890, according to the United States census, was 27,411. The population in 1894, according to the Directory, [based on 3 per- sons for each name in it], was 61,530. Dealy i.^ Baker's Guide to Houston. 7 The |>opulation of the "additions" reaches at least 5 per cent, of the city proper. January 1st, the assessed value of the city was .$22,463,185, of Harris county at the same date, it was J}!28,141,108. The Houston City Street Railway [Electric line] with its forty miles of track, affords rapid access to all parts of the city and suburbs. A reference to the pages following, will give some information as to the "places in the city," and ••how to reach them." 8 Dealy & Baker's Guide to Houston. T. W FORD. C. H. HAMMETT. W.F. HAMMETT.
