Book excerpt: Excerpt from Enlargement of Military Reservation of Fort Sam Houston, Tex: Hearings Before the Committee on Military Affairs United States Senate on the Bill S. 5049; To Provide for Enlarging the Military Reservation of Fort Sam Houston, Tex;; February 2, 1917 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to purchase such parcels of land, not exceeding one thousand five hundred acres, adjoining the military reservation of Port Sam Houston, Texas, as may be needed for the uses of said post, considering present and future needs, and such as may be suitable for encampments, maneuvers, and field instruction of the mobile army of the United States or parts thereof; and for the purposes of this act there is hereby authorized to be expended, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $330,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The Chairman. Senator Sheppard, the committee understands that you desire to have several persons called with reference to Senate bill 5049, providing for enlarging the military reservation at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. You may suggest the order in which you desire these gentlemen to appear. Senator Sheppard. Mr. Chairman, I desire to say by way of introduction that the bill now before the committee was a part of a program for necessary improvements at Fort Sam Houston, which was included in two bills that I introduced during the last session of Congress - S. 5048 and 5049.The Secretary of War wrote to the chairman of this committee on April 22, 1916, urging the adoption of these bills. At the time, however, the committee found it desirable to allow us only one of the measures submitted. I am now asking that the committee consider the other one, and I will ask Mr. Groos, the president of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, to say a few words in behalf of the bill. Senator Warren. Before Mr. Groos commences, I would like to ask the Senator if he has arranged to have his witnesses appear before the Committee on Appropriations, because that committee will undoubtedly take this matter up. The matter of several other posts has come up in this way. Of course I do not object to its coming up in this committee now, but as I say, it will undoubtedly come up in the Committee on Appropriations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Antonio, Texas, has been called Military City USA for many years. It earned this sobriquet not only by virtue of its major military installations but also because of its close and cordial relationship with the US Armed Forces. But in 1916, the year before America entered the Great War, all of that was still in the future. Fort Sam Houston was the largest US Army post in the country, but its attention was focused on the border with Mexico. This changed on April 6, 1917, as the United States needed to quickly raise an expeditionary army of three million men with its attendant air service and send it overseas. This volume portrays the growth of military facilities and infrastructure in San Antonio during World War I that started the Alamo City on the road to becoming Military City USA.
