Posts; Talks AT Mer-
q

They should hold national Amer

ter and have 'em all down here, :"
Edward Z. Spafford. national con-
mander of that organization. COM
mented as he boarded q train for
Houston Sunday night following .
day spent In touring this region.
Fresh from two days Of rain in
central and north Texas, following a
winter spent in the snow-banked
streets Of indianapolis, his home
town, Mr.. Stafford saw the Valley
Sunday In its most advantageous
light.
A spring-like sun besmed from a
tcloudless sky, as though bidding the
visitor welcome. while the famed
Gulf breeze of the Valley carried
enough kick TO offset the warm rays
OF the sun, making for an ideal day
for entertainment.
And Mr.. Spafford was entertained.
From Raymondville to Brownsville
american Legion posts turned to
do him honor.
Following speeches and inspections
the party ended the day in Browns
Vile. from which place Mr.. Spafford
left for home, after lauding the VAL
ley to the skies during n dinner
given in his honor.
At San Benito the national COM
mander made an unofficial inspec-
tion of the new home Of the legion,
and expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the signs Of progress
found.

of platform and banquet delivery

born so, but has deliberately culti-

MAYOR IS STILL
 OPPOSED ID ANNEX
Expresses Himself on High
 School Question

T regret I cannot give my ap- proval to the plans of the school committee for an addition to the Senior High school: l am opposed to the expenditure of $500,o0o when l consider that within the next four or five years, the city must spend six or seven million dollars for im- provements, Mayor Paonessa an- nounced last night after the regular business of the common council had been disposed of and adjournment had been moved
 The mayor called for expressions of sentiment held by council mem bers. but with few exceptions they were unwilling to speak, preferring to await a detailed report from the mayors inquiry committee of 14 members. majority of whom are in favor of the addition proposed by the school committee, but frowned upon by the mayor
 Discussing projects to be under taken by the city in coming years the mayor stressed the cost Of sew Turning to the High school problem the mayor expressed disapproval with the spacious auditorium plan and with the idea of having all Senior High school accommodations at the southern extremity of the city while there are none in the north ern section.
 Alderman William H. Judd, e member of the inquiry committee who voted to accept the school com mittee's plan, defended the board on grounds of economy and expediency. He explained the difference in cost between an addition and new school in another section, and told his colleagues that there will be sui tlcient room in the proposed new building to relieve the Junior High school situation for years to come.
 Alderman Frank Zapatka. anoth- CT member of the committee pro- pounded his arguments in opposi- tion. The alderman argued that the city must eventually build another school in the northern section of the city. and that the extended build ing in the south end will have many vacant rooms when the new struc- ture is erected ann pupils north of the railroad crossover are thus car ed for. He disputed the wisdom of the boad's policy.
 Alderman D. l.. Nair was unwill- ing to express any opinion until he hears the committees report. Ald-
