BRONMSVZLLES DAY.

BROWNSVILLE day is at last dawn

tact, while Brownsville has existed
heretofore, it can not be SAID TO
nave been a live town, contradic-
zorv though that may sound. But
ats previous lack of modern con-
veuiences may after all prove IN
the end to be a great advantage.
The reason is apparent. With the
dawn of its day" at this advanced
stage of the worlds development,
Brownsville has the inestimable ad-
vantage of having before it a whole
svorld full of modern towns to serve
as examples of what is best in the
suatter of modern improvements.
with the demonstration or what
has proven best and what bad In
other places on all sides, there can
ne no excuse for the town to err
IA choosing or planning improve
zzeuts for itself. Brownsville may
consider herself as the heir of all
she ages with the advantage OF
having before her all modern In
xeutions and improvements from
which to choose. With such adj
vantages in the matter of making
improvements, with no past mis-
takes in such matters to repair,
Brownsville should build right from
nhe GROUND Up. Our city council
should informs itself in all lines oil
civic improvement, and find Out
what is best before making any i'm
portant step.
TIE HERALD favors all kinds
of zuuicipal improvements for the
sawn, but it wants to see them
made intelligently. and with view
30 the general welfare. not only Of
she present population, but also Of
chose yet to come. There can be
no excuse in these modern times,
ser a city council to make mistakes.
