whether Brownsville is 10 have
eeep-water shipping depends upon

Tha engineer Of this column will
predict that If the channel is
brought to Brownsville under pres
ent arrangements. the project will
realize for the taxpayers the amount
they invest by the end OF five years
Of operation.

OF the deal. II is now up 10 the
Brownsville district to meet its obi

TO-DAY the Brownsville Chamber
of Commerce is calling for vol
untesrs TO take the census
Something like two hundred will be
wanted. At least that number
should be glad to answer the call.
1t is an emergency. How the city
ei.-erges from this situation will have
its reaction for the next ten years.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
Il The city should be divided into
as small territories as possible and
the work quickly done. In order
TO do this many men will be needed.
Business houses should offer the
time OF their employees and any
4cher steps necessary taken.
TTTHEN civic circles start selling
w Brownsville in a big way, after
the port comes, population is
going TO be n Of the greatest OF
factors toward successful sales.
The same applies to Point Isabel,
except that the ratio OF growth will
be larger. Point Isabel is not con-
sidered a city 10 start with. 1t will
certainly be in line to make one,
once stle ships start coming in.

which is avowed true. is that one
business woman drove out in the
aAEer, which the clogged ice held
F1he streets and became seasick.
The ENGINEER Of this column was
given her name, but has not SO far
lost his mind enough TO print it.
