VALLEY COPS
AID TOURISTS

Any hardships suffered by Valley
tourists because Of stringent traffic
law enforcement are caused by Of
ficers others than county or city.
This became apparent today when
statements we're made by the sher-
ifs office and various city police.
These statements were motivated
by a movement of the Harlingen
Chamber of Commerce looking to-
ward courteous treatment OF
tourists In the Valley.
Sheriff Frank Brown stated that
not one complaint had been filed
by his office against persons using
out-of-state licenses since he had
been in office. I'VE have gone far
out of our way to make things easy
for the tourist that l fear we have
been imposed upon at times" the
sheriff said.
Courteous Treatment
The bona fide tourist has always
been given the most courteous
treatment from my office and will
continue TO be so treated" he con-
tinued.
However, there are a number OF
professional tourists who are in
reality Valley residents, who will be
forced to obtain licenses in the near
future"
Lieut.. John T. Armstrong OF the
Brownsville police department made
a statement along the same lines of
that made by Sheriff Brown.
There never has been a bona

At present the Indianapolis Power

with condemnation for pole sites
in the Marion county courts.
It was reported thai, without a
legal battle, they have obtained all
but fifteen miles Of the forty-seven-
mile right-of-way which they
desire.
Whether they should have pro-
ceeded through the public service
commission. rather than the courts,
is the matter scheduled for debate.
The commission may decide TO pro-
coed with the securities petition and
take no action at this time on the
intervenors' requests, it was said.
Attorney Jackson Carter repre-
sented the intervenors, who were
listed as property owners in the
Williams Creek and Meridian Hills
district. who do not want the high
tension lines near their place. Gavin

in the petition.
Preferred stockholders also were
said to be represented among those
signing the petition.

be conducted to see whether the

authorized s4O,OOO,OOO valuation.
