BROWNSVILLE is starting dog
fight.
It's a good thing. even though il
has been delayed this long.
Can't afford TO let our city 90 in
TO the summer with bunch Of pos
sibiy dangerous dogs leading a free
and easy life.
There is no question but that
there are many useless dogs in
Brownsville.
Recall recently seeing one pack Of
more than a dozen ours parading
through the business district.
Not an altogether pleasing sight.
BROWNSVILLE Is going TO stage
a little celebration on May 1.

of the grounds near the Chamber
of Commerce. Those grounds are
going to be beautified and changed
\ into a real park.
Nav take some time. but il i
scheduled to happen.
Brownsville needs everything III
the way Of a park or parklet that il
can get.
This city should. in fact, spend q
quarter Of million dollars on parks.
il i, requires that amount Of money
to give US a pretty fair representa-
tion.
One Of San Antonio's greatest at
fractions lies in its possession Of
numerous large and small parks.
Some of them in the heart of the
city.
Nothing impresses a visitor more
than beautiful parks.
With growth so luxuriant and al
ways green here. no reason why this
city shouldn't be beautiful at all
times.
Let's make Il.
HARLTNGEN HAS very attract
i've square in the eastern part ~
that city.
San Benito has a square which i
has parked. near the business sec
tion.
One of the outstanding features al
Mercedes is the very attractive park
near the railroad station.
MeAllen has so many palm trees
that IL looks as il the entire town Is
q park.
Parks are good investments for
towns and cities, Breathing spaces
will be even more necessary as our
cities grow.
