I'm OUR
VALLEY
p at Raymondville they are doin,

whatever is necessary looking
TO the development Of the town as a
real little city.
Raymondville the other day award
ed contract for something like $780,
900 worth of street paving. Which Is
N splendid beginning for a town the
size of the Willacy county seat.
The next few years should see the
rapid development of the town from
.. CIVIC standpoint
x~&1 oRdviIle has undergone extra
ordinary growth recently, due to the
tensive farm land development
/ at has been in progress for the
ast year in the country between that
ity and Edinburg.
Ride the Busses." is the urge of
the Brownsville Transit company.
And why not? The Brownsville
Transit company. with its two splen-
did busses operating over a route
about three miles in length. is af
fording the public of this city real
transportation service.
Cars are operated on schedule.
They are in the hands of capable
drivers. The seats are comfortable.
The entrance doors and the height
Of the step from the ground are con-
vcniently arranged.
The business district continues to
he crowded with parked cars. Good
bus service permits one TO leave the
family car at home in preferenc to
al arnnnA kln~E. 1nALsnnx 70
place to park.
II is to be hoped that the patronage
given the company will be at least
sufficient to permit 1t 20 operate
with a reasonable margin Of profit
over and above expenses and de-
probation.
Adequate transportation Is a real
public need in Brownsville.
We do not know whether the ac-
tion was satisfactory to all candi-
dates, but it is certain that with
the decision not to hold a run-off pri-
mary in Cameron county, the public
will be saved a great deal of agony
and suspense. A run-off for state
candidates. however. is probable.
And We are bit more confident
IN the saneness of the candidates this
year than some Of the candidates
themselves. One. urging no run-off.
Offered, the plea Of continued mud
singing. etc. So far there has been
none. so far as the general public
knows. and the lineup gives promise
that there will be none in the future.
As a matter of fact. Cameron
county promises to be in safe hands.
regardless Of the outcome Of the cleo
tion.
With eighty or more men on the
job of building a harbor at Point
Isabel. the little coast village prom
ises to be busy with the activities Of
people during this summer.
s Summer residents already are TAX
ing possession of their cottages at
the coast town. The marine-navy
barracks. which have been unoccu-
pied for months. will be taken over
for the accommodation Of the port
workers.
A man in Brownsville recently an
nounced that he is TO open a maya
zine store, and will sell fresh milk.
That latter. by the way. will be a
considerable addition to the com
forts of living at the Point. Milk
has always been scarce article
here. just as fresh water is always
scarce.
Elizabeth street business district
Is pushing on out beyond Ninth
street. at the postoffice.
When the Rio Grande railroad. in
he old days. was the central artery
II traffic. business was inclined out
twelfth street, in the direction Of
he Rio Grande railroad yards.
Now. with the city spreading north
and westward, along Elizabeth and
he highway. business Is looking in
hat direction.
