Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-03-16

WHILE much discussion was in
wv progress over whether Hidalgo
county had a permit for an ir-
r.gation district, citizens Of the pro-
posed district went right ahead and
voted on $500. 900 worth OF bonds
for that purpose.
And from what We a gather
they voted rather Fundamentally.
Returns from Fridays election are
reported as "a for and ! against.
That is some majority. II causes
one 10 wonder If the lonesome tax
payer voting against the issue might
not have made a mistake. At least
some one ought to search him out,
and get him to make 1t unanimous.
II proportionate majorities can be
balloted for the Brownsville deep
water port there Will be no trouble
in handling the bonds. The Hidal-
20 irrigation district seemed to have
a mind OF its own and that fixed on
progress.
EOME time ago. when the Browns
n Vile navigation commissioners
went to Washington and return
cd so highly elated over obtaining
recommendations for a deep-water
port for the Valley. they were mostly
Of the opinion that congress would
vote on the bill some time during
the month Of March.
March is now half gone, and from

in the form of kilograms fitting
around San Benito. IL is Our guess
that it will not be long before The
Brownsville Herald can come out in
black type saying its all over with
but the work OF digging III ship
trough.
Confidentially. when that day
comes we intend to select a nice
variety OF real black type. The
people are going 10 be so groggy
with 10y that it will have to be
made easy for them to read.

driving at.
ANYHOW political prognosticators
" are saying that it is ten TO one
that Dan Moody will make the
race for governor for the third time
Not being so close to taw on mat

saw yea nor nav to this. But some
time ago, when some writer, at
Sherman we believe 1t was, broke
out 10 that effect. Mr.. Moody took
particular pains 10 say he a new
e. heard anything about 1t.
Probably this Is where the ODDS
came from. In other words why
did he not come out with a fiat
denial OF any idea Of being a candi-
date?
Ever since the youngest COVER
nor as a prosecutor. sent a pastor

he has been break

III We know anything about the
situation, Dan and Jim Ferguson
may have a few words before II IS
All over. If Dan does set sail on
the political sea. Jim has a Sar-
castle way about him. and Dan IS a
two-fisted stump speaker.
ESTIMATES now declare that the
Lower Rio Grande Valley viii be
about 1000. 900 better off on It's

From out in West Texas and up
in north Texas come reports OF
general rains. which declare that
cattle and crops are off TO a BAN

alone m the report Of an n
crease OF $50, 600 bushels Of wheat.

Now there is Texas. All / have
10 do down there Is not slice out
the Lower Rio Grande's deep-water
port project, and that will take care
OF that state.
