MORE WORK FOR the Browns

MORE WORK FOR the Browns
vile police force.
City commission did it.
First they designated certain
cross street blocks as mo parking"
spaces.
The police was kept busy enforc-
ing the order.
Then they put in signal lights on
fdizabeth street. in the business
district.
The police had to educate the peo-
pie to that
Then they paved the alleys. Hur-
rah. said the psrkers. a new place
TO park.
And city commission stepped in
and issued no parking orders for
the alleys. And the police had to
enforce that. Still do.
Now comes the city commission
with a proper order fixing one hour
as the parking limit on Elizabeth
street. between Tenth and Four
teenth.
ihE rARhiNG situation on
Elizabeth street is really a serious
matter for Brownsville merchants.
During business hours it is i'm
possible for customers 20 find
space for autos.
An hour is reasonable time for
any customer to do shopping.
And more often than not the parked
car is that of some person who is
in the habit of driving to work in
the morning and parking his car
for the day.
Another thing: Business streets
are often used for all night parking
spaces.
All Of which means still more
work for the police department
II you find a chalk mark on
tire. an officer has given notice that
ore hour from the time the chalk
mark was made. Is the time to find
new parking space.
OUR GOOD FRIEND Don Fru-
gencio Lopez did not make a trip
into the district east Of the Los
Fresnos. and toward the coast as
was stated.
Therefore he could not and did not
know about the weather conditions
there.
And when the statement was made
that II had not rained in that sec
ton. IL was meant to infer there
had actually been no rain.
What was meant was that con-
ditions were such that the roads
were easily negotiable by auto
mobiles In fact. one man described
the roads as "just like race track"
There has been moisture IN the
coast district. but possibly not 10
the extent that has taken place
along the river and farther inland.
PUBLISHER W. ID. Holland of
the San Benito Light is to be con
graduated on the changed and i'm
proved appearance Of the Light.
The Light not only has enlarged
by going from seven column size TO
the standard eight columns. but has
also acquired a new dress. includ-
irg new and attractive head letter
type faces.
COLONEL GEORGE BAILEY. long
time editor Of The Houston Post.
and later vice president and editor
of The Houston POST Dispatch, has
passed TO his reward.
Colonel Bailey was among the
few remaining prominent newspaper
men of Texas who adhered largely
to what some term old-fashioned
editorial methods.
He IL was who for so many years
write early Morning Observations"
for the Post and its successor. a
column that had a national repu-
tation. and he was probably the most
widely quoted paragrapher in the
nation.
His facile pen viii be missed by
South Texans.
Colonel Bailey. always original.
cannot easily be replaced. IL at all.
A VISITOR. MOTORING into and
through the Valley. complained the
other day that he was thoroughly
frightened.
He found himself in the midst of
thick. rapidly moving traffic. going
in both directions.
Some were moving so rapidly that
he wanted TO give them more of his
own space on the pavement. but
then feared running into the rain
softened ruts along the road.
Here's something for US to think
about.
The highway is eighteen feet
wide. in some short distances Il i
only sixteen. IL should be al least
