Proposed Franchise for
Industrial Iyackage for
St. l.. b. e NJ. Published

The proposed franchise granting to
the st. u. u. An. railway company the
right to construct and operate two side
tracks in thA proposed Industrial sec
tion Of the city. passed its first reading
October z and received its first publica-
tion Saturday.
Due 10 misunderstanding the re-
port was published recently that the
side tracks proposed by the company
would be constructed 10 Tenth street
in the alleys between Railroad. Fronton
and ST. Francis streets but the company
has no intention Of extending its track
age in the latter alley further than
| Fifth street. This report resulted in a
number of property owners. who will in
no way be affected by the construct on
Of the side tracks, filing protesN with
the city manager against the granting
Of the proposed franchise.
The title of the ordinance is as fol-
lows:
AN ordinance granting to the st. Lou
is, Brownsville a Mexico railway COM
pany. the right. privilege and franchise
to construct and operate two industri-
al railway switches and loading tracks
over. upon and across Hale street. From
ton street, Bcldcn street. Stillman
street. st. James street. the boulevard.
First street. Second street, Third street.
Fourth street. and along the alley in
block Nos. 7Ia. Ala. SEA. 3a. IL. l3, 42a
asa. IA. 26. 25. "a. % and % in the city
of Brownsville. Texas. and prescribing
the terms and conditions Of said fran
chise."
Most Of the district to be traversed
by the proposed sidetracks is unoc-
cupied. and practically all the land is
owned BY II. L. Fitch.
There has been considerable confu-
sion and misunderstanding regarding
this franchise" was the statement Of a
city commissioner yesterday. '.None of
the residence portion Of the city will be
affected. Most of the Misunderstanding
appears to have developed from the re-
port that the company desired to extend
its track through 10 Tenth street. in the
alley between Fronton and St. Francis
which would have seriously affected a
large district. Fifth stree. will be the
terminus of this track. IL the proposed
addition to the city's industrial section
II made possible through the granting
Of the franchise. II is unfortunate that
this misunderstanding has arisen. but
IL the ordinance as published Saturday
should convince all that no material
dnmaee TO property will result from the
proposed extension of the city's indus
trial section"

sl'lLpses of some of their readers. It's

pul nave seen many of my readers
WIN my eyes shut, and at this time
i"Ne to shut my eyes and think of
those readers. can see them in small
rooms and big rooms, rooms where
there are good old warm lamDs nv
winch to read and rooms where cleo
trlc lights shine down on the papes,
or gas light. And see them reading
or that best of all friends-Santa
'iaus-nnd of his dog, Boy of the
North. and of Santa's magic telescope
through which he can see the smiles of
MS many friends when they open their
gifts ON Christmas morning. I see
them reading of old Mr.. Giant and
Witty Witch and the Fairy Wondrous
Secrets and the Dreamland King. Of
GYPSY Haze md Midgie Moon and the
good Old Man himself and Mr.. Sun.
And ns | can see them reading In all
these rooms all over the country wish

them that they are really the creators
of these stories! 1t Is because they

The First Budget.

General Dawes, the Director of
the Budget, has had but brief
time in which to prepare the bud
pe, for the fiscal year I922-23. He
has been under the additional dis
advantage Of being oblidged to do
something for the first time. No
great administration change was
ever made without disclosing de.
fpcts and blunders in the drafting
Of the law, or without encounter
ing obstacles and opposition in its
early days. Such difficulties will
will appear when Congress begins
to deal with the new system,
though no one can tell what form
they will take. When they dc
arise il is we'll to remember that
the novelty Of the system is seri.
Gus handicap. We should not lay
upon the administrator any blame
that properly should rest on the
law.
If the budget should run the
gauntlet of Congress, which it must
do if the system is to succeed, the
appropriations for the year I922-23
will be considerably greater than
the revenue. 1t is estimated that
the revenue will be $3,33S,Is2.75o
about 5000, ,ooo. 900 less than the
revenue for the current year. 1921
az. The expenditure is put at
S3.5os,754,727, which is S462 ,ooo,-
600 less than the estimated expend-
iture for this year. The apparent
excess of expenditure is $I67, ,57I,-
e77, against about $24, 500, 900 this
year, but the larger deficit ex-
pected next year does not indicate
that there has been an extravagant
increase in our spending. The
taxes have yielded less.
But neither can we accept with
out any qualification the expected
reduction of $462. 900, 900 from the
expenditure of this year. The
estimated cost in the current year
OF railray administration and the
transportation act is $337,679,235,
and there is no corresponding
figure in the budget for the coming
year because it is impossible to
make a trustworthy estimate OF
what the figure will be. 1t will,
however. be only a small part of
the sum for this year.
Turning to details, it is crafty
Ing to see that almost every one OF
the great spending departments is
allotted less money for the coming
year than was appropriated for the
present year. There are cuts of
10000, 900 for the War Depart
ment, S47, 900, 900 for the Navy
department, and $26, 900, 900 for
postal deficit. The Shipping
Board gets S23, 1000 900 less, and
'ne entire sum of $3s, 900, 900 spent
this year for increased pay to gov
eminent employees is omitted. On
the other hand there will be an
increase of Sac. 100000, already
appropriated for good roads--The
