RIVER LEAVES
WATER PLANT
OFF new Bed
Forty-five Acres Are
Cut Off From
Mexico

An idiosyncrasy OF the Rio
Grande has left the city OF Browns
vile with a big engineering prob
lem with reference to its water sup
ply.
The river has changed its course
and has left the city water and
light plants about 2.400 or 5000 feet
from the flowing bed Of the river.
This was the statement Of City
Manager z. A. Rosenthal and state
and city engineers. who. today, said
the river which some time ago took
a short cut into a new bed in front
OF these plants has left IS acres Of
Mexican territory on the American
side OF the river.
At the same time 1t was pointed
out that there Is no fear 81 any
shortage in the city water supply
as the emergency Is being met as
the river lowers from the recent
flood stage.
B. r. Williams, state reclamation
engineer, and v. NJ. Ehlers, chief Of
the state sanitary engineers are

local engineers and sanitary in
gineers are in the city today confer

situation.
Mr.. Ehlers said that to meet the
sitautlon it remains for the city 70
put down points in the old river bed
which is supposed TO have a large
underground flow. to eravitate the
water to the present plant, or to
run pipes to the present bed.
In the neighborhood Of the two
plants the river described a loop
shaped much like a bottle. Today
it is flowing across the neck of
that bottle TO make a short cut. In
the bottle IS found the land cut off
from Mexico.
What steps the city will take with
reference to this change could not
be definitely stated this afternoon,
but a decision is expected to be
reached soon after the investiga-
ton, which is being conducted to-
day.

Fire Aerial May
Bring Lower Rates

A0kt(AaA ~ AA4L 44CAaA4sf
HARLINGEN. July 2.-Harlingen
city commissioners will be asked at
their meeting tonight TO formally
accept the new fire aerial now
stored at the central station.
Some little opposition has devel-
oped among local citizens to the
purchase of the equipment but the
argument is advanced that il will
pay for itself every three years in
lower fire insurance rates.
Completion of the station near
the intersection Of Harrison street
and the San Benito pike and the
employing Of additional full-time
firemen along with acceptance Of
the new apparatus. Will reduce the
fire insurance rate in Harlingen to
the lowest in the entire Valley.
A campaign for additional fire
fighting equipment also is underway
in San Benito where 1t Is generally
believed the city commissioners will
authorize purchase CT additional
apparatus within the next six weeks.
