AMENDMENT
VOTE LIGHT
Little Interest Shown In
Valley; Proposals Are
Favored

The Valley Tuesday was helping
the state decide two proposed
amendments to the state constitu-
ton.
At 9:30 a. m. % boxes in Cameron,
Hidalgo and Willacy counties had
reported 167 votes and indications
we're that at least the morning
vote would be one of the lightest
ever cast IN a constitutional elec-
tion.
The first amendment, to increase
the membership Of the state su-
preme court from three to nine
members, and to provide for a con-
tinuouS session of that court, was
believed to have better chance for
passage than the second, which
would increase the governors salary
from $4,000 to $4,000 q year, the
increase to become effective with
the close of Governor Moody's ad-
ministration.
County officials are of the opin-
ion that the recent action of the
governor in vetoing a measure to
increase the salaries of county Off
cials, has greatly injured the
chances of the amendment to pro-
vide for a better salary for future
governors.
Proponents of the amendment

of the 41st legislature was on the eve
of finishing its work today.
Only departmental and claims and

down all appropriations of the sec
ond called session. 1t was cut
S2,1O5,S42.
The claims and accounts measure
was shaved 50 per cent. 1t was re-
duced from $987,543 to $474,546.
The EDUCATIONAL bill, appropri-
ating S16,451 ,282 for support of the
universities, collebes and schools for
the next biennium, was accepted
yesterday. 1t was reduced only $45,-

posed by Governor Moody in his
message Of last Saturday, wherein
he recommended passage of a law
preserving to the university and
public school funds returns from
minerals beneath state lands. He
rroposed retaining all mineral rights
and as a result the senate yesterday

VALLEY

ROTARY PRESIDENTS and Sec
retaries assembled here in the
fourty-Seventh district assembly
question the motives Of Burt E.
Hinkley, ST., Brownsville member
Monday afternoon the visitors
were offered a free ride in a tri-
motored airplane by the Mexican
Aviation Company.
The plane was described in de-
tail by Charles Burton, and to
quiet fear in the minds of those
who never had experienced a ride
in the air, he told Of the absolute
safety Of tfG airliner.
"There is absolutely no danger,
gentlemen" Hinkley chimed in at
this point.
All was quiet for moment when
a visiting official in the rear Of the
hall rose to his feet:
May I ask whether the brother
who last spoke is in the undertake
ing business"
But most of those present accept
ed the invitation Of the Mexican
Aviation Co. and all those who
went pronounced it wonderful
experience.
CAMERON COUNTY has 1878
miles of concrete paving and 1885
miles of first class road on which
grading and structures have been
completed.
Before expenditure of money
from the $6,OO0,00O road bond issue
was started the county boasted only
1868 miles Of paving.
The last of the proceeds from the
fourth million of bonds is now be-
ing spent-with the exception of
$35, 900 reserved by Commissioner
Sam Bell to extend paving to the
site Of the proposed deep water
harbor near Brownsville.
Here is what the 100000 has
purchased:
Arading and structures on 300 %
ufseS of roads.
Concrete paving on 1925 miles
of roads.
Over half of the concrete is 18
feet wide, a considerable portion
of it is 16 feet wide, some Of If il
Is feet wide, and there are two
strips a total length of seven miles
only feet wide.
Until some way has been found
to increase the bonding capacity If
the county there is little that can
be done to continue the PAVING
program.
When the remaining $2,0OO,OO0 of
bonds finally are sold dumps will
be ready to receive paving on .

These include the Boca Chico
highway all the way to the beach
and two gaps in the military high
way along the river. Money from

HOUSTON, July 16.-(AP)-
The Houston - Billion Dollar
City," attempting an endurance
refueling flight record, landed in
a field about one-haf mile south
east of the Houston airport this
morning. The plane had been in
the air less than 20 hours. The
cause of the landing was not i'm
mediately aScertained.
HOUSTON, Texas, July 1.6-P)-
Determined to bring the endurance
flight record back to Texas, Joe
Glass and Glenn L. Loomis contin-
ued to circle Houston in their or
ange and black monoplane which
they took into the air yesterday on
refueling endurance flight.
To break the record of 246 hours,
43 minutes and 80 seconds the flyers
must stay in the air until a week
from this coming Thursday. The
first cargo of gasoline was trans
ferred to the endurance plane last
night, Lieut.. Earl T. Showalter pi-
loting the 1efueling ship.
A second successful refueling con-
tact was made early today by the
Billion Dollar City.
Glass and LOomiS reported every
thing in perfect condition.
The refueling was made over the
Bay Shore line. Most of the flying
is above the bay because of the
smoothneSS Of the air there and the
opportunity to cut down on gaso-
line consumption.
Brownsville and Valley residents
were especially interested in the
endurance flight under way at
Houston, Tuesday as both the en-
during and refueling planes for
merly were operated between the
municipal airport and Soto la Ma
rina to transport fish for the Tex
Mex Fisheries.
Harry E. Stewart, owner of the
planes, spent many months in
Brownsville and has many friends
here.
Joe Glass, pilot Of the endurance
plar2, is a Texas Air Transport air
mail pilot who for several months
has been making regular flights be-
tween here and San Antonio. He
obtained a leave Of absence in or
