you want to 60 to Matamoros from
Brownsville. you not only have to pay
your boat fare and your car fare, but
when You reach the river customs houses
on the Mexican side you will, beginning
today, pay a tax Of one nickel. A nickel
to go to MatamOrOs; a nickel TO come
back to Brownsville. Or in other words,
it will cost you a dime in the coin of our
realm to 60 to Matamoros and return to
the United States, besides the expense of
your regular transportation. Pay your
nickel or stay in Brownsville; pay your
nickel, or stay in Matamoros.

moros, that for revenue purposes they
are forced to impose a tax of ten cents
Mexican money on each and every person
travelling between Matamoros and
Brownsville. The tax is collected by the
customs officer at the ferry landing, and
by the customs officer in charge on the

Many people who do not understand
Spanish were surprised when they were
stopped by the customs officers on the

tax. After some explanation by hand
motions and certain ways of extending
the palm, understanding dawned-and all
was well.
How long the tax will be eXacted of the
