IS OUTLINED
Brownsville Attitude c
AS to Extension
Is Discussed

Brownsville will protest the grant
ing cf a permit to the Missouri Pa
cific to extend from San Benito
southeast TO the Rio Grande rail-
road only If that extension will op-
crate to prevent the Southern Pa
cific from building its line from
Harlingen to Brownsville, according
TO a statement issued today BY G. q.
Richardson, manager Of the Browns
vile Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Richardson's statement fol-
lows
"My attention has been called 10
an article found in the San Benito
Light Of October 27th, criticising
Brownsville for a reported action
taken relative to the extension of
the Spider Web System from San
Benito to a point on the Rio Grande
Railroad.
speaking for the Brownsville
Chamber of Commerce, ! wish to
say that this organization has taken
no official action relative to an
Intervention before the Interstate
Commerce Commission protesting
the above mentioned extension. We
have, however. gone on record to the
effect that il this proposed exten-
sion il fence To proven the
Southern Paific from coming 10

spent hundreds Of dollars in pre-
liminary work of various kinds, and
we believe that the Valley as n whole
appreciates the active part we tool
in the campaign.
1--WE bear no i'll will against San
Benito fer not intervening on be-
half OF the Southern Pacific, as We
feel that was their own business
and they were entitled TO take any
stand they saw fit, even though
several other towns in the Valley
that had no chance TO get the
Southern Pacific or even branch
Ct the Southern Pacific did inter
vene. We realize that great man.
San Benito citizens were in favor OF
the coming of the Southern Pacific
and that a large petition was cir
culated among its citizens endorsing
the application
'Thc Brownsville Chamber oi
Commerce felt all along chat tht
Southern Pacific would eventual,
apply for permission to extend theii
lines to this city. We have WORKED
hard to this end. and the logica
thing for Brownsville 20 dc at thii
time is TO stand behind the South
ern Pacific: and If the facts in tbs
case prove that the Missouri Pa
cific have made their application K
extend their lines east as a fence
to keep the Southern Pacific from
Brownsville. we shall oppose it jus
the same as we would expect SaT
Benito to oppose the cohaing of the
Southern Pacific to Brownsville Il

fence to keep the Missouri Pacific
from extending their lires from Sar
Benito east.
