III. z. ANDERSON OF San Benito
wv and Louis c. Hill Of Los Angeles
- have been appointed as con-

section Of the international water
commission.
This commission has to do with
the division of the waters OF the
Rio Grande and other boundary
streams. News of the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Anderson is in direct
keeping with the wishes Of Valley
interests.
Some time ago II was suggested
that the commission be done away
with. or held inactive. Upon re-
ceipt OF this the Brownsville Cham
Der of Commerce became very active
in the effort TO keep the committee
and keep it active. Mr.. Anderson
has always been a member Of 1t and
Ii was very much desired that he
be retained. r. 3. Cresger was ap-
pointed chairman OF the chamber
committee and he recommended Mr..
Anderson as the man with a greater
working knowledge Of the subject
Enan probably any other in the
country.
This committee has before 1t a
problem Of greatest Importance 70

supply is in safe hands.
