Gen. Lansing H. Beach represent
ed the applicant sand Major Rufus
w. Putnam, representing the San
Benito-Point Isabel Navigation dis
trict, spoke for the opposition.
The Brownsville Navigation dis
trict was not officially represented
at the hearing but that district two
weeks ago forwarded a lettr to Ma
jor Fox in which it stated that no
formal protest of the Arroyo dis
trict application would be made.
The letter set out, however, that
any move which would interfere
with the development of deep
water channel at Brazos Santiago
pass would be opposed by the dis
triCt.
Beach Discusses Tides
The hearing was held in the as
sembly room of the city hall and
lasted As minutes. About $50 per-
sons attended.
The application for the permit
was made in connection with plans
of the Arroyo Navigation district
to dredge a deep water channel up
the Arroyo Colorado { othe Mis-
souri, Pacific bridge near Harlingen
Gen. Beache discussed principally
the question of whether the pro-
posed channel across Padre island
would affect the tide in and out
of BRACES Santiago pass.
He declared the tide coming
through the pass never reaches
more than eight miles above Bra
zos Santiago and that the proposed
cut would have no effect on the
tide there.
The cut would be an aid to fish
ing by providing fresh water in the
Laguna Madre, Beach declared. In
support of this he read a letter
from the Texas state game, fish
and oyster commission approving
application for the cut.
Putnam Says Cost High
He also pointed out the proposed
cut would be only One-tenth the
SIZE of the pass at Brazos Santiago
and claimed that because Of This IL
would make very httle difference
in the tide.
Tie new cut would let an addi-

MaGrc and during ncrthers this
would send more water out through
Brazos Santiago pass, thus helping
to scour the channel at that point
