City.ftes
Dear Sir:.4f
Permit me to say few words re-
garding your beautiful city. Pensa-
cola is without doubt one of the most
beautiful cities in the entire south
with heF-wide and well kept streets
nd handsome business blocks, park
ways, plazas. etc. 1t is indeed a fine
lefty. I have just built home here
/ nd bought other property and am
istartinSTSa business here which will
employ several experts. also quite
number of other assistants. There
seems to be but one thing lacking here,
md that is civic pride shown by owners
7f many beautiful homes here. They
don't seem to care, to keep their homes
5eautiful by the use of a little paint
which not only beauties but preserves
their property. / have noticed so
many handsome residences here that
could be made beautiful homes if their
owners would give them a good coat of
paint. In the city from which 1 came
everybody paints his house. Detroit
Michigan is the city of which I speak
and the cleanup idea is strong there.
'l4S VI INC AehA $751; paint laetoIiSS LII
the world is located there and they
make a brand which is known all over
the world If the owners of homes here
would commence to clean and paint
their homes, this city would not only
he one of the prettiest cities in the
United States but also one of the
eleanest. 1 think SO well of Pensacola
that I am urging several of my friends
to come here and build homes. Thank
ing you for space in the Journal
Respectfully,
G. Rushut.

AdUantageS Of
HighLine Canal
Copy Of Synopsis By Head
Of Committee Received
By c. of c.

The possibilities of the Rio Grande
project as a development agency for
the FL Paso section is set forth in a
synopsis of an argument for compIet-
ing the Rio Grande project by a high
line canal written by h H. Brook.
chairman OF the high line canal com
mittee. who is now in Washington. A
copy Of the synopsis was received Sat
urday morning by K. N. Roberts.
manager OF the E. Paso chamber Of
commerce.
The outstanding features Of the
high line canal as presented in the
argument is that the Rio Grande
project will never be compete nor en-
tirely successful without the high line
canal, inasmuch as the vast resources
OF the section cannot be entirely de-
veloped.
VIII Furnish Power.
The argument states that the pro-
posed canal VIII save land and water

The argument further states that

the present distributing and drainage
system, save an expenditure now COM
templated OF $50. 900. for a river nume
and an inestimable amount due to ac-
cumulating sand in the lower Mesilla
valley above the international dam.
