Point Isabel channel, and such other
purposes as they might see fit to
carry out. Accordingly we redraft-
ed our petition modifying it TO suit
their request. Our direct channel
project was emphasized at the first
meeting held with thoss representa-
tives and your port committee at
the chamber Of commerce building
oil Monday, October s. At this meet
ing VIC stressed the fact that We
would not compromise By connecting
with the Point Isabel channel, but
would hold to our own, : we felt
that we knew the sentiment Of the
people of Brownsville and the ada
cent communities, and did not want
to place ourselves or the people Of
our district in n compromising situa-
ton. The same matters were dis
cusse6 at the second meeting held
on October 18th ut the chamber Of
commerce building.
The final result Of the election
was a vote Of 1911 for and SO against
the organization OF the navigation
district and the issuance Of bonds.
Eighty of the 96 negative votes were
cast in Voting Precinct No. 8, the
Fresnos, where local sentiment ia
vors the Point Isabel project. The
rest of the district is without doubt
overwhelmingly for the Brownsville
pert. Ii is our fixed opinion that
whatever may be the immediate OBJ
ftscles. the people of Brownsville
and adjacent territory can and will,
with persistent effort, secure a
Brownsville port as we have planned
by means of a direct channel con-

Since there is now a legal entity
