the Point Isabel port.
He said he believed the port would
reflect greatly on the development Of
the Valley. and that this develop
ment would be as pronounced in San
Benito az in any other Valley city.
Mr.. Anderson said many persons
are perhaps too optimistic in be-
lieving Eve will have q great port
IN a few years, but we nave to start,
and the sooner We start, the sooner
we will have a port"
Tells Point History
He then compared briefly the
Point Isabel and the Harlingen port
projects. declaring II think an eN-
cellent port car be developed IL the

physically wrong with a port IN the
Arroyo. But we can't have two
ports at this time.
"A port also can Be made AZ Bra
EOS Santiago PASS and Point Isabel.
and much progress ms already been
made on this mort. Years ago boats
came in through the pass and dock
ed at Point Isabel. Ever since I
have been in the Valley the people
have been working on the port
there"
Mr.. Anderson then traced the his
tory Of the Point Isabel project
briefly. telling Of the government
aid there in the past. and the fact
that the army engineers and rivers
and harhors committee Of congress
are in favor OF appropriating $1,000
600 to finish the harbor and ~s150.000
annually for maintenance.
This indicates the government Is
interested in the port" Mr.. Ander-
son said.

He mentioned the Harlingen Lro-

has been much discussion Of the two
projects. and declared II don't think

some Of the criticism that has been
made against IL. But IL Is impossi-
bic to have two ports. we must have

Almost All of 262
Towns Passing 3d.
900 Reported

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-CPJC-ity
populations of the United States, es-
simated as Of July /, 1928. were re-
ported today BY the census bureau.
Five American metropolitan centers,
headed BY New York with a total Of
60l7,5oO persons, were credited with
more than a million residents; Chi
cago with 1857, 400: Philadelphia
with 1904, zoo; Detroit with 1875
500, and Cleveland with l.0l0,3 300.
\ growth in population was indi-
Gated for nearly every one Of the
cities in the 10000 population class
reported though one of the most
famous city centers. Manhattan Bor-
ough in New York City, was actually
estimated TO have lost 100000 people
between 1928 and 1925. when the
ttate enumeration a made. The
cuAsus bureau explained that lis 1928
estimates we're based in part on cal
culations of population growth rates
indicated by the 1920 federal census.
by the results Of intervening state
census returns, and BY studies Of To-
cal conditions. Notwithstanding, in
the case Of a few cities the bureau
refused TO make any 1929 estimate
because Of annexation, or because OF
exceptional conditions Of growth, 7
or because of indicated population
loss.
After the leading five cities. the
estimates showed a large group OF
American cities possessing more thar
a half million people, the list includ-
ing st. Louis. s48.1eO; Baltimore $50
400; Boston T99.200; Pittsburgh. 673.-

and Milwaukee, $4,000. No estimate
was given for Los Angeles which in
1920 had a population OF 576.G73.
In all, the 1929 report listed 262
American cities having more than
10000 population in 1920, and for
most Of them gave the comparative
estimate of their total In 1928. IN
the case Of states such as New York.
Iowa, Florida Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, which conducted 4
state census in 1925. the 1925 figures
were used instead Of the 1920. Fol
lowing is q list of cities and the 1928
