PLAN SUGGESTED FOR
CASH|NG BOND PLEDGES

A tentative plan for the campaign
to collect subscriptions 10 the Rio
2Grand railway bond pledge was. pre-
scented at meeting at Harlingen thi:
morning and is being discussed this
afternoon.
Sixty-five farmers, bankers and
business men from every community
in the Valley, including 20 from
Brownsville, were in attendance. The
sentiment of the meeting apeared 70
be a unit that the deep water way
project must not be allowed to fail
through inability to raise the money
which has already been promised.
A ways and means committee ap-
pointed at a previous meeting sub
mitted the report which is the basis
of discussion. The report was signed
by Fred Bennett of Mercedes as chair
man and A. B. Jacobs of Donna as
secretary. The report made the fol-
lowing recommendations
1. That money already collected
on the sale of bonds shall not be re-
turned to subscribers at this time.
2. That, on the other hand, the
movement for the collection of the
balance of the money for the bonds
and the rehabilitation of the channel
fund be pushed vigorously.
3. That sixty percent of the stock
of the railway, together with the
signed agreements. be placed in es-
crow in a trust company 10 be agreed
upon.
4. That an executive committee be
appointed to take charge of and as
sumo responsibility Ior the collection
of the unpaid subscriptions.
s. That, in order to raise the fund
the executive committee obtain releas-
es from enough subscriptions already
paid to make available needed money
for the immediate and pressing needs
of the road, especially some SIS, 900
needed for certain pressing obliga-
tions of the railroad.
The meeting i being held in the
rooms Of the Rio Grande Valley
Growers Exchange. Leaders Of that
organization say that all the thou
sands of farmers who belong to it are
behind the project and insist that il
shall not be allowed to lapse.
