I'm OUR
VALLEY

THE UNITED States railway mail
service IN beginning TO recognize the
Importance Of Valley mail into hous-
ton.
They have expedited the delivery
Of that mail.
Mail from the lower Gulf coast
into Houston heretofore has been
delivered to the postoffice in sacks,
being yedistributed there.
Now they have arranged to dis
tribute Valley main on the cars
while the train us rolling. Reaching
Houston, il is ready to 60 straight
to the mail carriers for their first
morning delivery.
That isn't a new service insofar as
mail from other point into Houston
is concerned. IL is new so far as
the Valley is concerned.
The Valleys mail into Houston
and San Antonio Is Important. Lots
of il. or most Of IL. has to do with
business. II should receive the
best Of attention.
NOTE THAT the postoffice de-
partment has authorized an ad-
ditional city mail carrier ioT
Brownsville.
The office now has three regular
carriers. a parcel post carrier. and
a special delivery carrier.
The fact Of the additional carr lcr
is not Of particular importance IT
this time. What is important is the
fact that Ii Brownsville hal more
sidewalks in some Of the residence
sections that do not now have side
walks, there would be ut least one
more carrier, and possibly two.
There should be five carriers in n
city the size of Brownsville. Lack Of
sidewalks n the obstacle.
Perhaps when the city has COM
pletcd its fifteen-mile paving pro-
gram, Erownsville's mail delivery
service will be at the poin; where it
should be.
