flee Of DR.. Robert r. Motion. prin-
cipal Of Tuskegee Normal and In
dustrial Institute announced today

ance designed to cure its traffic
ills.
Including subways through the
loop. the ordinance provides for the
expenditure Of $500. 100000 in i'm
provements and a merger Of transit
companies involving 1851 100000.
Surface trackage would be ex-
tended 245 miles. elevated lines 3l5
miles; a. miles or Subways would
hurry the traffic from the north 70
the south side OF the ~congested loop
and do away with several elevated

ed.

dm would be defeated.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-07-01

its wake was speculation whether
the justice department would fos-
ter more OF its like.
Attorney General NJ itchell's
moves are being closely watched for
indications or whether his course
will differ radically from that pur-
sued by Mr.. Mellon. This interest
was accentuated by the attack Of
Maurice Campbell, in resigning as
prohibition administrator for New
York, upon local politicians and
certain administration officials in
Washington"
He charged efforts we're being
made TO restore certain brewery,
whiskey and alcohol permits in
order to secure necessary support
for the republican ticket In New
York this fall"
Whether Mr.. Mitchell would take
any official cogniance Of that at
tack remained undiScloSed as his
staff undertook its new and complex
assignment.
Last night while he was still IN
charge Of enforcement as assistant
secretary Of the treasury Seymour
Lowman spoke back to Campbell.
Today with the change OF enforce
ment responsibility having taken
place-he would say no more.
The last night assertion was a
disavowal Of any knowledge Of cir
cumstances described by Campbell.

This situation might be some
what cleared up in the minds Of the
readers II It be remembered that
Brownsville. San Benito and Point
Isabel are working in friendly CO.
operation on the two port projects,
but as separate units, each with an
obligation to fulfill.
Some few weeks ago San Benito
sold her port bonds at par. Infor-
nation today was afloat that the
San Benito commission had an
nounced s250,O00 available to start
the Point Isabel preliminary work
as oon as the bill is signed. When
the San Benito attorney for that
body was called he would neither
deny nor confirm the statement Of
$780, 900 available.
Members OF the Brownsville Navi-
cation commission today said that
Brownsville's part Of the work is
progressing rapidly. The interest Of
Point Isabel and Brownsville are di-
rectly allied through the pass and
quite a distance up the r~ight-of-way
where the Point Isabel port may be
joined to the Brownsville channel.
From there on tire work Is strictly
up TO the Brownsville commission.
The Brownsville commission to
date has secured the points CT the
two islands between which the pass
comes. has secured two thirds OF the
sixteen miles OF right-of-way from
the. state and private individuals
An option has been obtained ON ap-
proximately 800 acres fer the turn
ing basin. which may be exercised
in the near future.
On O project as large as that be-
fore the Brownsville body members
OF the commission can only guess
at this time when actual work will
open.
