VALLEY

Their new building IS a beauty.
A credit to the company. a credit
to Brownsville.
Which reminds us that our tele-
phone company is certainly raising
the dignity Of It's establishments.
Remember when" most Of our
Valley exchanges were located in
not SO pretentious buildings.
Usually upstairs.
Usually out of the way.
And usually far beneath the dig
nifty Of a public utility OF the rank
Of the company.
It's different now in all OF our
Valley cities.
No nicer buildings anywhere.
4 No better equipment anywhere.
! The public generally appreciates
1t. we're sure the employees Of the
company appreciate it.
MONTH OF LABOR on the part
OF the Brownsville city planning
commission is nearing an end.
Hearing before the city commission
on Tuesday night is almost the last
step before the recommendations OF
the commission become the law OF
the city.
Maps posted over the city tell
better than words Of the plan which
is proposed for restricting buildings
over Brownsville.
II YOU are a property owner
give these maps the look-see.
Anything you don't like. tell i 70
the commission on Tuesday night.
ANY suggestion you have TO offer
tell it TO the commission.
It will be too late after the hear
ing IS closed and the ordinance Is
passed. IL.
II. Is a good plan Of zoning which
bert Cromack and his committee
have prepared, helped by Major a

q large sized vote Of thanks TO tne
members OF the committee whose
labors have been labors Of. love Q

VALLEY CITY PARKS are one
OF two things.
In some cases they stand among
the finest assets Of the cities ID
which they are located.
In other cases it would be far
better for the city concerned II II
had no parks at all.
A well kept park IS a thing OF
beauty is a matter Of pride to the
residents Of the city in which y y
located. Is a matter Of compliment
airy comment from visitors
A neglected park. well-you kno"
what you think when you pass
through a strange city and see us
parks all grown up n "eeos'
AND THE SAME thing Is true Of
sthool buildings.
1Some OF the most attractive
school grounds we have ever seen IN
all our life are right here in the
Valley.
And some Of the most desolate

are right here.

strangers To visit Us.
