mission last Friday 1t is a project
which must be considered carefully
and painStakingly" and the COM
mission thereupon decided to give il
a whole meeting. 1t is possible
that still more meetings may be
required before the final plans are
agreed upon.
G.. c. Richardson. manager of the
chamber Of commerce declared that
should our proposed extensions be
agreed upon, IL will mean that the
population of the city will be in
creased from 1900 to 1000. There
is no reason why Brownsville should
not include all Of her people in the
federal census. and unless the linn
its are extended, our total will suf-
fer as a result"
Must Study Angles
Mayor A. b. Cole said ne be-
heved the proposition should be con-
sidered from all angles before n
action is taken. The chamber OF
commerce in bringing up the mat
ter OF extension Is acting solely on
the idea Of increased population.
We must study other phases.
Hearings will have TO be held for
those who would be brought in. The
section in West Brownsville has the
greatest number of inhabitants.
Some OF these have expressed a de-
sire to become city tax payers as
they benefit from most of the city
conveniences and do not wish to be
classified as tax dodgers.
"On the other hand, I'm not sure
that the income from taxes would
offset the expense OF extending city
limits. A separate sewer line for
West Brownsville will be necessary.
| have been told by engineers. The
expense in the first five years may
exceed the income for the next Is
years. And any number OF other
questions must be gone over" Cole
said.
Extension Plans
The proposed extensions. as
drawn by City Engineer George
Rogers. follow:
On the south the limits voaid
follow the middle Of the Eio
Grande from the Jesus Vilsareal
tract below Fort Brown TO a point
