up the Valleys fight for a quaran-
tine bill against shipping Of Florida
citrus stock into the state, John
T. Floore, chamber Of commerce

TOURISTS Use
OF CITY PORT
SHOWS JUMP
Twenty Permits Are
Issued Saturday
To Monterrey

Tourist traffic through this port
Is showing a rapid increase. ac-
cording to Lopez Montero. Mex
lean consul to Brownsville.
Saturday the consul issued 20
permits to parties going to Mon
terrey. This is the largest number
to pass Brownsville for the Mex
lean interior in several months"
said Consul Montero.
The consul pointed out that
Monterrey is fast becoming more
popular with Americans as a tour
list center and that traffic through
here would likely show a steady
gain in the future.
An average OF four or five per-
o n Is found in every party pass
ing the Rio Grande for visits in
to Mexico. Usually they stay in
Brownsville a day before starting
the trip and another day after re-
turning from Mexico and are con-
sidered a boon TO local business.
The cars which went through
Brownsville Saturday were from
several sections of the middlewest
and east, Montero said. A few VAL
ley cars also made the trip.
The fact that Americans from as
far away as st. Louis and Mem
phis use Brownsville as their cross
ing point shows that Brownsville
and Matamoros are becoming bet
ter known, il is believed.
