Much Interest Shown
In Biding For Mail
Contract

Bidding for the contract to carry
the mails owe the Star Route TO be
inaugurated August 1 between
Brownsville and Mission has become
so spirited that G. W. bennett,
Brownsville postmaster. was forced
Friday to wire the postal department
at Washington for 10 additional pro-
posal blanks.
When it was first decided to re-
ceive bids for the carrying Of mail
over this route, the department at
Washington furnished bennett with
four blanks. These blanks were
called for five minutes after they ar
rived and ~ more were requested.
These have also been used and 10
additional have been ordered.
All bids must be in Washington by
July IL.
The contract will run from August
l, 1928 20 June 80. 1880, bennett said.
Persons outside the Valley have
requested blanks in order that they
might bid for the contract but have
been refused because OF the fact
that they did not live in the terri
tory through which this route is to
run, bennett stated.

TORRID NORTH
HAS NOAPPEAL
Brownsville Man Re.
turns From Tomato
Tariff Hearing

1T is certainly a relief TO get away
from the torrid North and back to
the cool breeze Of the Valley" was
the comment of W. Z. McDavitt, who
arrived home Friday morning from q
trip to Washington, New York, St.
Louis and other Eastern and North
ern cities.
Mr.. MeDavitt went to Washington
TO attend the tomato tariff hearing
before the tariff commission. Lower
Rio Grande Valley and Florida
growers Joined in asking for a max
imum increase the tariff commission
can recommend, and the increase was
opposed BY New York commission
firms, and Nogales, Ariz., shippers
Of Mexican tomatoes.
THE commission did not indicate
what its recommendations would be-
Mr.. McDavitt said. However, | be-
lieve they will recommend the max
imum increase, but this will not re-
lieve the situational materially as it
would amount to only one-fourth of
a cent per pound. The present tariff
is one-half cent per pound, and the
increase could not exceed SO per
cent Of the existing tariff"
News of President Gales action in
placing an export duty Of approx
mately l cent per pound on toma-
toes was received in Washington
just prior to the opening of the hear
ing, and was regarded by the Valley
and Florida interests as a gesture on
the part Of Mexico TO influence ac-
tion on the commission.
The export duty on tomatoes has
no real significance" Mr.. McDavitt
said. 1T was promulgated after the
Mexican shipping seaso had closed
and can be revoked at any time by
the Mexican president. Mexie. will
0 permit such a duty to stand in
the way Of development of the tomato
industry"
Mr.. and Mrs. McDavitt spent July
1 in St. Louis. The day was ex-
tremely hot" Mr.. McDavitt said, "but
We were becoming accustomed to hot
weather. Washington, New York and
other Eastern cities were sweltering
during the time we were in them"
