III. ALI due TO a correct geographical
llocation, supplemented by a bit Of
foresight on the part Of the citi-
.zens OF Brownsville.
A PROMINENT Dallas business
] man paid one of his occasional
us to Brownsville the other day.
he recalled an opportunity that
had missed.
|'e four years ago he was Of
g half interest in a real
- venture for a paltry $780,
Ths :. property that he could have
bwne,rd had he wished to do SO to-
av fs valued at somewhere around
32M- 1000.
/ There is still money TO be made
in Brownsville real estate he told
q friend here. But such an oppor-
tunity as unfortunately passed
UP probably will not again occur"
HERE is A LIST Of the prom
inent Valley hotels opened since
] the first OF January, 1927:
FL Jardin. Brownsville; Stonewall
jackson, San Benito; Reese-Wil-
Mond, Moore and Damants, Har-
lingen; Cortez. Weslaco; Robb.

During the past five weeks, say
sreports, visitors have found it diff
Hscult to secure accommodations. at
least in the leading hotels.
All OF them have, from time TO
time. hung out the "S. r. o." sign.
With the result that visitors have
scurried around looking for quar-
tiers.
The point Is. does 1t all mean
another hotel building program for
this section TO care for an even
larger inrush next season?
Runners in Brownsville OF an
other 200-room hostelry.
Which may be merely the re-
action TO a seasonal rush. And,
again, maybe the result Of careful
study Of conditions.
THE HOUSE at Austin voted a
Fifty per cent reduction in the
license fees of automobiles.
In the Valley counties there are
approximately 10000 automobiles
and trucks, the latter where pri-
avately owned TO get a twenty per
cent cut under the bill.
II the measure goes through. II
will mean a saving 10 automobile
operators OF somewhere around
s20c 900 year.
Which will be welcome. Of course
eut there's still something to worry
,bo,rt. since there will be a gaso-
inc tax that will more than offset
he loss to the state.
MORE THAN SIXTY Kiwanians
of Illinois and Iowa are paying a
visit to the Lower Rio Grande VAL
