the local chamber has recei
many answers from individl

The opinion or these were unA-
mously favorable to BrownsvilIe's
attitude In the matter, and the
opinion was expressed III several
that this method or bringing the
situation TO the attention or other
bureaus would result III q ~retracticn

bureau issued q booklet several
months ago tn which " stated that
government experts had informed
them that land adjoining resacas III
the Valley were unfit for cultiva-
ton, and consequently the bureau
advised it's members against pur-
chasing this land. The booklet wy
widely distributed over the country.

operation Oh the two port projects,
but as separate units, each with an
obligation to fulfill.
Some few weeks ago San Benito
sold her port bonds at par. Infor-
nation today was afloat that the
San Benito commission had an
nounced S250,000 available to start
the Point Isabel preliminary work
as soon as the bill Is signed. When
the San Benito attorney for that
body was called he would neither
deny nor confirm the statement Of
$3.50 900 available.
Members OF the Brownsville Navi-
cation commission today said that
Brovnsville's part OF the work IS
progressing rapidly. The interest OF
Point Isabel and Brownsville are di-
rectly allied through the pass and
quite a distance up the right-of-way
where the Point Isabel port may be
Joined TO the Brownsville channel.
From there on the work Is strictly
up to the Brownsville commission.
The Brownsville commission to
date has secured the points Of the
two islands between which the pass
comes, has secured two thirds Of the
sixteen miles OF right-of-way from
the state and private individuals
An option has been obtained on ap-
proximately 800 acres fc- the turn
ing basin, which may be exercised
In the near future.
On a project as large as that be-
fore the Brownsville body members
Of the commission can only guess
at this time when actual work will
open.
