Perfect Order
Maintained By
City Policemen

Only two arrests, both for minor
disturbances, were made by the
Brownsville police force during the
Fourth of July celebration.
1T was the most orderly crowd
that ever assembled in Browns
v%ille," was the comment or Lieuten-
ant Of Police John Armstrong. "We
had no trouble Of any kind. Two
arrests were made, but both were
for minor offenses."
So far as could be ascertained
there were no automobile accidents
on the American side Of the river.
Despite the fact the city streets were
filled with cars, the traffic was
handled very efficiently. and a few
bent tenders were the net results of
the occasional traffic jams.
The Brownsville police force de-
serves commentator for the man
neT in which the large crowd and
heavy traffic were handled" G.. {.
Richardson, manager of the Browns
Vile Chamber of Commerce. said
Thursday. Not n serious accident
occurred during the day. though the
traffic was the heaviest in the city's
experience. II is a puzzle TO me how
the traffic officers maintained the
steady flow Of traffic without tang
ling it into an inextricable knot"
The crowd attending the celebra-
ton was the largest that has assem-
bled in the city since Armistice Day,
1920, when the late President Hard
ing visited the border city.
