POINT ISABEL. Feb. 24.-The
little city of Point Isabel is stirred
70 its depths by an issue in con-
nection with the proposed incor-
poration of the city.
According to the notice of cleo
tion it il proposed to change the
name of the city from "Point Isa.
bel' to "Port Isabel" and strenu-
Gus objection to this proposed
change has been voiced by 10 resi-
dents who assert they will vote
against incorporation IL a name
which "has N rich heritage, senti-
mental, literary and historical, and
the venerable traditions of nearly
100 years Of use" is to be "con-
signed to IN ungrateful oblivion"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-02-24

A petition was filed with the
commissioners court Thursday. in
which the protests against the
change were voiced.
The signers assert they are in
favor of incorporation, but will not
sacrifice the venerable name Of the
famous border port.
Opponents of the change in
name have delved into the archives
Of ancient history and revealed
that the name of "Point Isabel"
figured prominently in the earliest
history Of the lower border, and
that to make change would vir-
tually relinquish the hallowed
memories which surround the IA
nous old port.
