To Establish Concrete
Brick Factory

The project for the establish
ment of a concrete block factory
for Brownsville seems about to as
sumo a tangible form, as one of the
parties interested in the project IS
now en- route here to personally in
vestigate the situation. This gen
tleman, or the firm which he rep
resents, has been in correspondence
with Secretary Bannon of the Bust
ness Men s Club OH the subject,
his attention having been drawn to
Brownsville, as he writes, by an
article OH Brownsville by Mr.. Ban
nor which was published in the
Texas Stocknan & Farmer. 1t
seems that concrete blocks can be
made about as cheaply as ordinary
bricks, and are very much better
for building. Sand in the greatest
abundance, which is we'll adapted
I for this purpose is available here,
and everything seems favorable to
the inauguration of the proposed
enterprise. The prospective con-
struction of a waterworks and cleo
trio light plant here is a drawing
card in securing this industry for
Brownsville.

some well merited praise on ac-
count of some very effective work
in grading and draining on ST.
Charles street and also on Tenth

each of these streets has been com.
pleted and passers-by pronounce il
a first class job, which gives that
part of town quite a Gifted look.
Work on the drainage bitches in
other parts of town is still being
pushed also, and it looks as if the
city dads mean to put the streets
all over town in first class condi.
tion before they get through.

place in Dr. Kaintsky's private lab

for about four inches. The wound
was an exceedingly ugly one. 1t was
