Saturday afternoon it vas pointed
out that probably one Of the first
steps necessary would be to call 8
bond election for another millior
dollars to be added to the $4,000
600 already thus subscribed
Brownsville's part In the $5.000.00(
deal is roughly estimated here al
S 5000. 900. 1t was pointed out that
the Brownsville navigation district
will thus be paying for a project
which will be Of untold benefits
to the entire Valley.
Everyone Interested.
As q result Of this activity. q
stimulation is being felt in bust
ness circles here. but 1t is said that
greater activity Is being shown out
side Of Brownsville, probably, than
in the city itself.
Hal Brennan Of Brennan & Cor
ripan. brokers. was in the city Sat-
urday and said that he had read
the accounts in the Brownsville
paper and had Immediately come
TO the city with the idea Of making
his brokerabe house, recently re-
moved from Laredo. permanent,
He said he had about 100 cars Of
stuff still In "a jam" at Laredo,
That he plans moving some Of his
Brownsville force there until this
Is cleared; then moving them over
to Eagle Pass. and after clearing
up matters there, close his house
there and remove the force perma-
nently to this city.
Oil Line Planned
II was said here in certain circles
that Standard oil interests In Mexi-
co are already talking OF a pipe
line to Brownsville from holdings
in the southern republic and to
ship from here.
Brownsville has been actively
seeking a port for at least Is years
IS the general opinion here, but Ii
was said Saturday that newspapers
are possessed by John Thielan. and
probably others. showing that port
projects were discussed here fifty
years ago. Letters Of c~ongratula-
tions have been going out to Rep
resentative John Garner and Sen
ator Morris Sheppard in the part
they played in getting the recon-
mendation. and 70 the delegation
at Washington as a whole.
Brownsville people have been Gag
erly seeking every detail OF the
project. some OF them somewhat
inclined to feel that 1t is too good
to be true. or that 1t is merely fur
Their port talk.
RosenthaI Wires
Some OF those who might be an
swered by a telegram sent from z
A. RoSenthal to A. w. Rec, COM
missioner, which read to the effect
that I'VE got 1t this time 1t wa
said.
One Brownsville man said he wa!
about TO throw his old hat away fol
Joy when he remembered the stor!
OF the nan who purchased a new
suit Of clothes, put II under the sea
Of the car and then drove to thu
river. There took off his oil
clothing, piece by piece and threw
each In the river where II floateC
away. Then he felt under the ca
seat for his new suit and 1t wa
gone.
But those who have been clos
to the project since the delegation
left Brownsville over q week az
say II Is In the best imaginabl
status for early passage, and tina
steamboat whistles will be hear
In Brownsville before many year
