arriving in Brownsville at 7:30 a.
m, to meet the needs of the
Mexican Aviation company's south
bound plane, now leaving here at
$50 a. m. Mayor "A. B. Cole told
the city commission Friday morn
ing.
The matter came up In connec-
ton with a proposed new offer by
the city TO the Pan-American air
lines. Mr.. Cole said that Mr.. Choate
will be in Brownsville Saturday TO
discuss the matter. After certain
arrangements have been made, the
mayor said, he viii corIfer with
H. L. Yates, attorney for the
Mexican air lines, on the proposed
contract.
The mayor stated that the offer.
which 1t was agreed n week ago
WOULD be considered by the COM
mission at this meeting. should be
ready in two or three days.
The owners Of La Paloma addi-
ton, on the Southmost road, ad-
joining the city limits, applied
through @. ID. Sutton and Tx.
Fabra for extension OF a city wa
ter line for a distance OF about
eight blocks in order that the addi-
tion might connect at the city

Mob Lmches Florida Man
Explains
His. Position on
Deal ON Airport
by w. r.. PENDERGRAFT

The city commission in its nego-
tiations with the Pan-American
Airways, Inc. for a contract under
which that company will use the
municipal airport as a terminal for
its air mail and passenger line be-
tween Brownsville and Mexico City,
is seeking to arrive at an agree
ment which viii be fair to all air
lines now using the field and to
all air lines and individuals who
might desire TO use IL I'm the future.
This is the explanation or Mayor
A. b. Cole OF the reason a contract
has not yet been signed. The COM
pany has one year lease on the
new hangar and in the meantime a
satisfactory agreement will be
reached. in the opinion Of Mayor
Cole.
This interview with Mayor Cole
was obtained by The Herald in or
der that the position Of those who
have opposed signing of the con-
tract might be made clear to the
citizens.
PuDuc Itlllty
Il view the airport as a public
utility, just as much so as light,
water and sewer systems of the
city. There must be no deals made
which will favor one user OF the
airport over the other. We must
treat all alike, whether q large or
small concern.
"Of course. q special price can
be made on gasoline to the big
users, just as special rates are
allowed to large consumers of elec-
trical energy. But everyone must
have equal access to the field.
THE principal stumbling block
has been the demand of the Pan
American Airways for a preferen-
tial option to buy or lease the air
port.
1t Is impossible for the city to
grant this request unless the PAN
American Is willing in turn to agree
to take the field off the hands of
the city at any time on a basis fair
to both parties.
Opposes Option
III the preferential option Is
granted to the Pan-American IL
means that the city would not re-
ceive any offers for the airport. In
case it became necessary to lease
IL. Tor any concern which might
otherwise like to contract for its
lease or purchase would realize
they only could get 1t after the
holders OF the prior option mad

INDEPENDENTS

Hidalgo Good Government
Meet Draws Throng
To San Juan

SAN JUAN, May 17.-Hidalgo
county independents are far from
whipped and the battle for control
of political affairs of the county will
be continued TO a successful con-
clusion, Gordon Griffin. candidate
for district judge in the last gen.
eral election, last night informed a
large crowd composed Of members
Of the Good Government league.
The crowd was estimated to num-
Der about 5000 people and the meet
ing was called, league leaders de-
clared, TO counteract rumors TO the
effect that contests of the election
had been dropped. The gathering
was outdoors.
Griffin explained that the con-
test he had filed in the Hidalgc
county district court was dropped
only because he already had wor
a victory in the Travis county court
In the same case and there was nc
further need for prosecution Of the
case in Hidalgo county.
He said enemies of the indepen-
dents had used his action in thi:
suit for the basis OF spreading ru-
mors that all contests would bt
dropped. On the contrary, he said
the victory had practically beer
won and that all suits now on fils
would be carried through the courts
Griffin predicted that j. Z. Leslie
would lose on appeal TO the higher
courts from the decision OF the
Travis county district court, which
ordered that the Weslaco returns al
the last election be included in {
recount of the Hidalgo county bal.
lots, and that Griffin eventually
would be made Judge OF the distric'
court.
Other leaders OF the Good Gov
ernment league delivered addresse.

all that was needed was for mem

 The depletion of this fisheries seriously ef- fleets the trolling industry for when there is marked shortage of herring in trolling areas there is marked decline in the catches of salmon
 Continued decline of the herring fisheries and poor catches of king salmon by trollers will mean more serious and rapid decline of the po- pulation of the Territory.
 SEINE SALMON
 The average catch of seiners according to re- ports on file in Juneau point to an average earn ing (gross) of less than $50 per in the First Division. Which means that the workers must turn to other industries for their livlihood. And there are no other industries in Alaska to turn to- it cannot mean anything but a migration to the States. The problem is how will the Territory maintain existence without permanent popu- lation?
