CITY ON FIRE
In.necfors of State Depart
ment Express Approval Of
General Conditions Found
in Brownsville

II. A. Barron and r. VI. Grafton Of the
state fire insurance commission. fire
prevention bureau, left Brownsville this
morning for San Benito where they will
conduct an inspection Of that city. The
inspectors made a thorough investigs-
tion of the situation in Brownsville and
reported that everything was IN excel
lent condition. far above the average
for city u this size.
Only one fire marshal ruling u vio-
lated to any extent in the city. accor-
ding TO the inspectors. and that il the
leaving Of gasoline IN open containers W
printing shops. cleaning and pressing
shops. and jcwclry repair shops. Case
line in these stores and all Others
should be kept in fire proof containers.
Fire chief Weller told the inspectors
that he would see that this ordinance is
enforced in the future. and will insist
that gas tanks. which are not only air
tight. but are fire proof. be ordered and
installed. These tank. are also u pro-
lection to the firemen. who often 60
into burning buildings where there are
gasoline containers. and an explosion OF
one Of these containers might prove ia
tai 10 the firemen as in the case Of
a recent Houston fire
As TO wiring. the inspectors compli-
mented the city, stating Brownsville has
more wires in conduit than most cities
Of this size. and the remaining wires
are rapidly being placed IN conduit
Some faulty wiring was found. but this
has been repaired or will be attended
10 in the near future
Although il is not part Of their du-
ty, the inspectors mentioned the fact
that Brownsville. although the city has
a very efficient fire station. needs an
other fire station TO care for the entirl
population. The inspectors declared
there should be "A fire station for every
1900 people. and Brownsville has twice
that many inhabitants. They pointed out
that the erection Of another fire sta
tion and the installation of more fire
fighting apparatus would not be a bur-
den 20 the tax payers a. ii would low
er the key rate and eventually prove a
saving TO them on Insurance.
Inspectors Grafton and Barron will
inspect San Benito. Harlingen and other
cities along the border. Other cities in
the district Of the inspectors in this
part of the state are Alice, kingsville
and Corpus Christi.

A Victory for the Valley
The final assembling of the COM
pleted channel fund j. a great vic
tory for the Valley, and marks the
beginning Of a new epoch for every
branch Of Valley industry, was the
opinion expressed this morning by
Mr.. O'Bricn. Il cannot express my
appreciation of the support the peo-
pie of the Valley have given me- he
stated. The Valley has waited long
for this day. They have given me
assistance at times when they were
obliged to make real sacrifices to do
so. They have worked and struggled
to realize the Valleys dream Of wa
ter transportation and lower rates,
and the accumulation Of this chan
mel fund is in itself criterion of
the Valleys deep interest in the har-
Dor project
Mr.. O'Brien expressed himself as
confident that there would be no un-
necessary delay in getting the dredg-
es started at Point Isabel. The dis
trict engineers have taken great in
terest in the Valleys harbor project
and can be relied upon TO cooperate
in every way possible in its early
completion.
