CHAMBER NOT
TO VOTE FUND
No Money Available For
Bugle Corps Trip To
Louisville

Prospects for a trip to the Amer
lean Legion convention at Louis

Bugle corps were dimmed Friday as
the result of a report made 10 the
city commission by a chamber Of
commerce committee composed Of
II. L. Yates, Joe Ceiaya. and z. j.

Yates. spokesman, declared that

the fiscal year is exhausted due TO
large appropriations vited In onnec
ton with the airport celebration
and work done on the Brownsville
deep water project.
I'm view Of our expenditures, the
chamber OF commerce feels II Is not
in a position to ask OF recommend
an appropriation for sending the
Drum and Bugle corps to Louisville"
Yates said he did not mean to in
fer that the project is not meritori-
ous, but when asked by the mayor
what chamber Of commerce thought
OF the proposed trip, he replied that
although there was not a quorum
present at the meeting during which
our aid was sought. it was the con-
census of opinion that the adver-
Using which Brownsville will derive
from the plan is not worth $500.
The commission still held that il
could do nothing about the matter
and told Henry SHELTON. represent
ing the Legion. to present his plan
to the chamber when a quorum is
present, and demand a definite an
swer.
If the chamber OF commerce
should sponsor the trip. the commits
sion probably will vote the required
sum at the next meeting 1t was
said.
