Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-05-22

water port DOnQ issue, DuJ
against being included in the
Brownsville Navigation district has
tlared up last night at Los FresnoS,
according to press reports today.
This opposition was said here yes
terday TO be a continuance Of oppo-
sition offered the first bond issue.
and Is the only community known
10 be anything but anxious to get
The port.
Members Of the Brownsville Navi-
CATION commission have said for the
past few days that opposition would
be encountered at Los Fresnos, for
a similar meeting and similar action
was taken on the first issue OF
$4,000, 900.
The Los FresnoS district has a
voting strength Of something like
ninety, according to information Civ
en- the engineer Of this column.
The Herald believes the benefits
the deep-water port will bring when
wharves are established at Browns
vile and Point Isabel will more than
offset by increased values and bust
ness any additional taxes the pro-
jects will incur to the people Of Los
FresnoS.
There Is no doubt but what the
bond issue will carry when the dis
trict as a whole Is considered. OPP
position will only tend TO lower the
sale value. thereby injuring, by
whatever that may be, the very pro-
perty owners Of Los FreSnos, them
selves.
STHE Harrington Chamber Of Com
merce went on record last night
as favo-ing the proposed Val
lev deep-water port and to lend
every aid TO. the development of the
Arroyo Colorado.
This vote did not carry, however,
without strong opposition among the
many present at the meeting. Fol-
lowing the vote it was announced
another mass meeting will be held
tonight. Judge John Myrick and
Dave Traxler, were listed among the
leaders Of the opposition. Chair
man B. NJ. Holland said: 1T is I'm
fortunate that We should again be-
come involved in issues which for
two years have torn US apart"
These sentiments Of Mr.. Holland
will be found to exist in the breasts
and thoughts OF the majority Of the
business men Of the Valley, espec-
tally since Brownsville, San Benito
and Point Isabel are now to build
the proposed ports with money out
Of their own pockets. Brownsville
will be for Harlingen when voting
time on the Arroyo project arises.
If We are any judge.
WELL. folks. 1t worked. The boss
NV read between the lines Of our
~ little story about "Arkansaw"
and now We have a letter 70 hand
telling us we have a nice vacation
of two weeks coming up against Sat
urday. So We will soon be in Fay
etteville, Arkansas. What we want
is for Mr.. RoSenthal and NJ. Rent
fro and Judge Yates, and Mr.. Gregg.
and Mr.. Fernandez and all members
OF the Brownsville Navigation COM
mission and all Brownsville citizens
to have the additional 81, 500, 900
over In big form against our re-
turn.
How nice It would be II we could
read President Hoover had signed
the bill early in June.
gyILL COOKE OF Mission was fore
nj ed to stand by yesterday at
AA Houston and see Bud Mckinney
OF Del Rio sink a seven foot putt
to nose him out.
Mckinney is one Of the most care
free golfers in the country. He plays
In "iong pants" and does not seem
to care much for the conventions
of the game except 70 get the little
ball in the hole. which looks awful
small from eve feet.
Probably II more Of the Valley
hot shots would enter the state
tournaments. other parts Of the state
would look up more to Valley golf
r There are some good ones down
here. Chief George and Charlie
Puckett might have gone strong at
Houston, everything else considered.
MYTH the port bill ordered re-
WV ported out. We are simply SO
W excited cannot write much to-
day. Waiting to see what will hap
pen. John Garner has assured us
plenty will happen.
