EXPECT SHORTAGE IN CHANNEL
FUND TO Be RAISED IN 2WEEKS

Every community in the Valley
where shortage exists in the chan.
mel fund quota, is pledged to have
its quota filled within two weeks.
was the report brought back from
Mercedes last night by the delega.
ton Of Brownsville business men who
attended the channel meeting at that
place
The meeting was attended by ap.
proximately sixty representatives of
Valley cimmunities, every town in the
Valley with the exception Of Pharr
and Edinburg being represented. The
sentiment was unanimous that the
channel fund must be closed up i'm
mediately and work on the harbor
started, and representatives Of the
various communities pledged them
selves to Immediately organize com
nittees and inaugurate a campaign
to fiji their respective quotas, an
nouncing that they were confident
The campaign could he concluded
within two weeks.
X. b. Creager of Brownsville made
an address in which he set forth the
condition Of the channel fund and
the vital necessity Of immediate &C
tion on the part of those communi-
ties in which portion Of the quota
was still short. "His talk was straight
from the shoulder" said one member
of the Brownsville delegation, "and
II was just the kind OF an address
needed for the occasion" Mr.. Creag
cr did not mince matters. Declaring
II was the duty Of every community
TO make good" Immediately, he
pointed out that a project of such
vital import 10 the economic and in
dustrial development of the Valley
could not be jeopardized by failure
OF any community to meet its obliga-
tions. Mr.. Creager took up each con-
munity individually. discussed the
part II had borne in the campaign,
and the present standing of its quota,
and called upon them individually
and collectively to get busy. That his
address made the proper impression
was evident from the promptness
with which the representative present
pledged their communities TO take
care of the shortage.
Those from Brownsville who at
tended were: A. b. Cole, VIM. 4
Burnett, VIM. G. Whitman, Sherwood

responded TO the call for prompt &C
ton. II believe it will be the final
wind-up ofthe channel campaign,
faid a member of the delegation.
"The spirit and enthusiasm shown by
the representatives of the towns
whose quotas are incomplete convinc-
ed me that they are going to put IL

government that the completed chan.
mel fund is at its disposal. and il
