Citizens Predict Big
Gain for Valley During 1923

Brownsville and the Lower Rio
Grande Valley are in for one Of
the biggest years in history in
1925. according to a ~consensu of
New Year opinions expressed by
some of the leading business and
professional men of the Valley.
Following is a list of the per-
sons called upon for expressions
and their opinions:
o. G. Dancy. county Judge: "In
my opinion Cameron county and
Brownsville, will have its biggest
year in history in 1928. ID is then
that We will fully begin TO realize
a return on the many public inn
provements inaugurated this year.
Many o improvements ere be-
ing planned for next year"
II. b. Creager: TOO much stress
cannot be laid on the PROGRESS
made by the city of Brownsville
and the Valley during the past
year. With our splendid paving
program almost complete, q
drainage, and sewerage systems
ard other improvements installed,
l think | can safely say We have
enjoyed our biggest era OF pros-
perity during the past year. All
indications point to the fact that
this era will be equalled. if not
bettered during 1928. With plans
we'll under way for a new nation
al airport, which certainly should
he in operation by the middle of
the year and the need Of a muni-
cipal auditorium becoming daily
more apparent, 1 think 1928 will
make Of Brownsville a bigger and
better city. We will probably get
this auditorium during the next
year. with its attendant influx of
conventions and other big affairs.
William McDavitt: Prospects for
Brownsville in 1928. 10 me, look
rather bright. Although things
have been a little quie: during the
past year. | can see no conceivable
reason Why they should not get
very much better. and many rea-
ons Why they should do so.
Judge II. l. Yates: There Il no
reason why the Valley in general
and Brow R~sville in particular-I am
not so familiar with conditions out
side Cameron county-should not
experience the biggest year in his
tory in 1928. This will be true If
the price of the commodities pro-
6ueed here will hold up. The ex-
pertinent in FL Jardin has proved
beyond a doubt that scientific
drainage is a success | think the
lower Valley next year will begin
10 fully realize on the many i'm
~prOvemcnts and advantages start
cd duri~ the past year.
5. C.. Tucker: I think Browns
ville's prospects in 1925 are very
encouraging.
NJ. r. Hall: The coming year Is
sure to bring TO Brownsville and
the entire Valley an era Of pros
perity that has never been equal
cd in this section. In that year
we will begin fully 10 realize up
on the many forward steps taken
during 1927. Last year we inaur-
urated many improvements ard
most or these rave already hegrn
10 pay rich dividends, and will IN
doubte6ly pay even richer divi-
dends during the coming year.
Also many other improvements and
progressive steps are planned.
Tom Stevenson: I think next
year will be enc of prosperity, not
only for Brownsville and the Val
ley. hut for the country at large.
This il true. not only in the auto
motive industry. but in all other
bus ncsses as well.
Jesse bennett: There l. every
reason to believe that 1928 will be
the banner year for Brownsville
