Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-04-27

IN census count is coming IN slowly.
Brownsville business circles are
organizing 70 blanket the entire city
with census takers in order TO OBJ
tain a full count.
IL has been the purpose OF The
Herald to keep the Importance OF
the census continually before the
people so that the best possible
count will be obtained.
[ There is no more serious propo-
sition facing the business men for
N innaugurated are not fully carried
Frankly, II the present plans now
innaugRrated are not fully carried
out, there is danger Of Brownsville
mot taking first rank in population
dlnkpng the towns Of the Valley-and
the people are here.
AMONG the Neutrality-suspicious.,
~ a peculiar condition is said 70
exist. Some are suspicious as
to the purpose OF the count. 1t is
now the plan Of the special commit
tee selected through the chamber
Of commerce 70 take charge OF the
work OF the citizen assistants TO ask
the ministers Of the churches TO ex-
Z plain that the census is confiden-
! tial, and other features 70 allay
any fears which may be carried IN
their minds.
Among the Anglo-S axon Ameri-
I cans the greatest difficulty en-
/, countered Is that the people OF to-
! day wing on wheels and they
are hard TO catch at home. IL Is
causing many return trips TO get a
few names. But IL Is the avowed
4 purpose of the organization nov
forming TO get them all at WAT
\ ever cost or labor.

Few in Brownsville and Point

valley realize the import OF THIS

means ocean going vessels and Deep

There are many who probably
have not yet brought the project
