connecting line from San Antonio
TO Laredo.
The junior chamber of commerce
at Laredo is interested IN the move.
the Laredo Times reports. This
paper SAYS:
Many factors point to the fact
that Laredo will again some day be
on an air route to Mexico City. II
Is the logical route. With Monter-
rev, Saltillo and such cities. and the
business found there. considered. u
is a paying proposition Where
ever that Is the case. some way to
take care of 1t will be found.
With a little casting about. the
members of that body will find
number Of influential business in
terests willing to join them in such
move. Some of these are already
at work, and their progress may
some day present a little surprise" /"
The same issue Of the Times car
ries an interview with A. w. Grant,
managing editor Of the San Antonio
Express. To quote:
Mr.. Grant while in the city dis
cussed the matter Of having the
airmail service restored between La
redo. Monterrey. Mexico City and.
together with other San Antonians,
plans taking the matter up with
the proper high authorities for its
re-establsshment. He says he be-
lieVes Laredo Is the logical place
for the airmail service to and from
Mexico. and while not opposing the
route via Brownsville. he believes
LanRdo and Monterrey should also
hav an airmail service like El Paso
and other places"
YET A THIRD article appears in
the same issue OF the Times, and
all Of them are on page one.
MANY Advantages for Air Route

the matter Of establishing air mail
service there will be discussed at a
banquet 10 be given in Nuevo La

the Fort Worth aerocade Is there.
And then quotes "a business man
visitor from San Antonio:

the attention of those interested IS
one. The mountains in Mexico have

they will not compare with the long
stretches of pine forests the aviators
are already flying over"
1T IS UNLIKELY that plans Of
Laredo and San Antonio will have
any effect on the air mail routes
In operation through Brownsville.
The Laredo-Mexico City route
was tried by the government for a
period Of several months and IL was
found regular service could not be
maintained.
The federal government would
not be constructing a lighted arr
way from Brownsville to Houston
and planning to install like facili-
ties between Brownsville and San
Antonio If any change in the SER
vice here was intended.
When there is need for air mail
over the San Antonio-Laredo-
Mexico City route il likely viii be
established and Brownsville will be
glad TO see II put into operation.
