IN SPEAKING to business men OF
Brownsville and the Valley,
many have voiced the opinion
that the census is now the most i'm
portant matter before the people.
They were probably never more
eminently correct in their lives. The
deep water will probably be the most
important single factor III the growth
OF the Valley, once IL is obtained,
but a definitely appointed commits
sion and legislators now have charge
Of that. 1t Is taking a course the
people as a whole can only sit back
and watch at present.
But the census might be said to
he ours TO take with the aid OF the
+, .eral government. II you please.
The Brownsville and other Valley
chambers OF commerce are bestirr-
ing themselves ~ IL, but II Is di-
rectly up TO every individual citizen
10 bestir himself and herself to see
that every one is listed in the count.
II is to last ten years. and its
value cannot be overeStimated.
Watch for the enumerators. Aid
them in every possible manner. Lets
do not permit a nose to go I'M
counted. This is n time, If ever.
where one name is just a. good as
another.
FLORIDA cold wave aids Valley
potatoes. East Texas frost aids
Valley tomatoes. The directing
forces of fate seem to be favoring
the Valley in 1880.
incidentally. it is said that La
redo onions will be moving during
the present week. That means VIII
lacy county will have had the jump
of ten days or two weeks. Early
vegetables are the ones that catch
the dollars.

IN VIEW Of the prospect Of Browns
vile becoming an important city
in the near future. 1t occur to
ME that IL would be well for us 10
pass a coming ordinance which
would impose restrictions upon the
location Of certain businesses on
streets where they may not be con-
sidered desirable. City planning
is occupying the progressive men
and women Of our larger cities ev-
erywhere nov. And this Is n OF
the most essential features OF the
plans which tend to make a city
attractive TO all. / wish especially
that Brownsville would take pains
TO prevent the location OF filling
stations on the most desirable cor
ners in the heart Of the city. These
very necessary institutions would be
quite as useful II placed somewhat
farther out. Could not our city
fathers. when asked for permits for
filling stations. advise applicants 70
seek locations that would not inter-
fere with the erection OF other
buildings which may soon be seek
ing place here?
III we have no ordinance prohibit
ing the erection OF filling stations
near the schools and city parks, this
is q lack which should be supplied At
once.
Let L plan for a great city and
at the same time make Brownsville
both beautiful and attractive. We
have already done much In the Gre
alton Of q fine city park on the re-
SAGA and in the Identification OF
washington Park. Don't let these
beauty spots &c spoiled
