CITY TAXRATE
TOBELOWERED
Mayor Cole Points Out
Raising Valuations Is
Advantageous

although the valuations rf city pro-
perty in Brownsville f@f the purposes
of taxation are being raised consider
ably in most instances. the tax rate in
Brownsville is to be lowered 50 that the
amount paid by more than fifty per
cent Of the tax payers will BE- less than
heretofore. and there will be more
equitable adjustment OF taxes. according
10 statement made by Mayor A. B.
Cole of Brownsville following d short
executive session Of the city commits
sion ut which tax matters were discuss
ed today.
Mayor Cole mentioned the fact that
many persons are cmplaining because
their property valuations have been
raised. but pointed out that in most
cases the amount Of taxes they will
have TO pay will be less. The commits
sion proposes 70 lower the tax rate from
sal. the present rate. to $2.25, or a fig
urc close to that, the mayor said.
II was pointed out by the mayor that
this will work for the benefit Of the
city. in that the rate will be lower,
which will be an added induccment for
persons 70 buy homes here. and that
the tax payments will be more evenly
distributed.
THE city has TO have certain
amount Of money I. operate" Mayor
Cole said. "and this money must be Sc
cured by taxation. We intend 10 set
the valuations At figure whi~h we
think correct. ani then We will make the
tax rate just enough to run the city"
Although the city board Of equaliza-
tion. which is working on valuations at
the present time. has made no estimate
Of what the total valuation Of city pro
perty will be. unofficial estimates place
the total for this year at $l0.00o.00o rs
against $1,000. 600 for last year. This
would allow a considerable reduction in
the tax rate. IL. was pointed out.

ON QUARANTINE
New Fumigation Plant
Not Necessary, Says
Deputy

The question of allowing the passage
across the international bridge here in
20 MatamoroH Of livestock and produce
from all parts of the state except the
area where the foot and mouth disease
has broken out has probably been TAX
en- up with the feds raj government in
Mexico by Consul General Alexandra
Lubbcrt Of San Antonio. said Mexican
Consul A. {. Vasquez here this morn
ing, as the consul in Brownsville has
received no further instructions in the
matter.
Consul NaSquez wired for permission
70 allow the passage of livestock from
other parts Of the state. but 50 far has
not received an answer. 1t is likely
that permission will pc granted for the
crossing OF cattle and horses from other
parts Of Texas provided n veterinarian 5
certificate accompanies them, Mr.. Vas
quez said.
According to o. ID. Deputy, in charge
of the fumigation plant at Brownsville.
the plant here can hardly be used for
purpose Of sterilization, or the killing
of germs. Mr.. Deputy replied in con
ncrtion with the suggestion from Wash
ington that a fumiration plant say be
placed here. that this matter WI. prob
ably be handled through the public
health service, and that the fumigation
would not require the construction Of a
plant Of any kind.
Killing Of disease germs ami killing
cf insects are entirely different, ac-
cording to Mr.. DEPUTY. The fumigation
plant here operates principally TO kill
any insects on cars, To kill germs. ly-
sol or scme other kind of spray would
probably be used, and the car would he
sprayed inside and out. and not fumi-
gated. This work could be done without
the use of plant or special building of
any kind. he pointed out.
Several shipments of livestock are be
ing held up in Brownsville the consul
said here this morning. There have
been no changes in the orders, and no
instructions to fumigatc motor vehicles
or to prevent their crossing the bridge.
