In 1919 the city imposed a 2-mill levy
for the Board OF City Development.
which was entirely financed by the city.
but no part Of this levy was ever utl-
liZed for that purpose. This levy was
for the financial support Of the Board
of City Development for the year 1920.
but the Board or City Development went
out Of existence in December 1919. and
was succeeded by the Chamber of Com
mcrcc. which has derived its financial
support from other sources.
The contention has been advanced
that the city. having raised this amount
for development purposes. there il no
better way in which az least portion
OF IL could be utilized than a. a contri-
button to the channel fund which il now
nearly closed. II has been pointed out
that inasmuch a. the fund was never
utilized for the purpose for which the
levy was made. there could he no logi-
cal objection to its use at the present
time for purpose which the old Board
Of City Development devoted months in
developing.

Valley has responded generously in the

IF the City OF Brownsville complies
with the request presented by Mr.. Lam

channel fund. there is no reason why all
preliminary work should not be closed
up in o few weeks and actual eonstruc-

few thousand dollars are now standing
between the Valley and a deep water
port. and we cannot afford 10 permit
