Trucks bearing exported goods
from Nogales, Sonora, to Tucson
must bear Arizona license plates,
according to word received from
the highway department at Tue

probability will be enforced, it

the persona! interest of Senator
Johnson, chairman of the immigra-
tion committee of the house.
Crossing privileges to enable
Nogales merchants to deal with
residents of Mexico loom as the
most important factor to be con-
sidered locally should legislation
halt the flow of Mexican immi-
grants across the border, it was
pointed out.
Mr.. Mayer, declared however,
that as the bill now stands no pro-
vision has been made to protect
foreign trade of the border cities
He said the national chamber is
fighting to allow a visitor clause
to be inserted in the bill to pro-
tect the Nogales situation as well
as industries demanding Mexican
labor. This plan would allow the
Mexican only brief stay in the
United States which could be uti.
.lzed during the season when his
labor was mostly needed.

is made necessary by the fact that
foreign trucks use the state high
ways continuously, without con-
tributing to their upkeep. Tour
ing cars are exempt. The new
ruling threatens to ruin the exten-
sive trade built up between Tue
son and Mexican points.
Mexican importers viii! cease
buying goods in the Old Pueblo
and will either purchase their
goods in. Nogales or have them
consigned to points on the Mexi-
can side of the line, it is said. For
November, 1928, this business a.
mounted to $55,O00, according to
Tucson authority.

|NOCALES HAS TWO A|RPORTS;
THREE PLANES TRANSFER TO
NEW FIELD ON TUCSON ROAD

Tucson highway five miles north
of the city. The land is part of a
vast acreage recently purchased
by Mr.. Johnson from J. c. Barnes.
Local aviators state that at the
new Koehler place planes can take
off in any direction as the field is
both wide and long. It is one mile
in length.
The great distance from the
city to the international Airport
is also given as another reason
why the three planes have moved
to the Koehler field.
The International Airport is on
land owned by the county and
whether the establishment of the
new landing field will eventually
mean abandonment of the old field
IS prob!ematical.
