RIFLE RANGE
SOUGHT FOR
FORT BROWN
Committee to Meet
To Arrange For
Construction

A rifle range near Brownsville.
primarily for the use or Fort Brown
soldiers but which will also be open
to civilians, will probably be the
result Of a meeting Friday Of a
committee Of Brownsville citizens
composed Of Sam Perl, Arthur Hipp,
G. G. Henderson. Bert Cromack and
II. q. Batsell with Major Grow. OF
the local army post.
Agitation for an adequate range
has been under way for some time.
but nothing definite had been done
until the meeting Friday morning
was announced. The estimated cost
Is $500.
It has been explained that due
TO the absence Of a rifle range here
soldiers from Fort Brown have been
forced to go 10 Fort Ringgold for
practice. This has resulted in an
average Of one-third OF the local
troops being away at all times. Look
ing at the situation from a CONNER
cial angle, this means that one-third
OF the annual payroll OF $260.000
is being spent out Of Brownsville.
Announcement has been made
that development IN and around
Rio Grande City. and the construc-
ton OF q highway near the pres
ent site OF the rifle range there,
will neceSsitate the abandonment
OF the range. This means that II a
range Is not constructed here. SOL
diers will have to journey to Fort
Macintosh. and consequently be
gone from Brownsville much longer.
Civilians. Too
Civilians would have the use OF
the range for practice II one Is
constructed here, according to Ma
jor Grow. A club may be organized
of local citizens. and affiliation OBJ
tanned with the National Rifle as
ISOLATION. If this Is done, arrange
ments can be made whereby rifles
may be borrowed from Fort Brown
free OF charge, and ammunition be
purchased at special reduced rates.
An army officer viii be in charge
and give instructions.
An investigation by the chamber
of commerce here has revealed that
there are any number OF suitable
sites around Brownsville for a
range. and the committee named
to meet with Major Grow will prob
ably decide upon a definite loca-
ton during the Friday morning
meeting.
A club. the only one in the VAL
ley at present. has been organized
at Mission, and has become affili-
ated with the national association
