in OUR
VALLEY

Their new building Is a beauty.
A credit TO the company. a credit
70 Brownsville.
Which reminds US that our tele-
phone company is certainly raising
the dignity Of its 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 u
Valley cities.
No nicer buildings anywhere.
No better equipment anywhere.
The public generally appreciates
~. we're sure the employees Of the
company appreciate 1t.
MONTH OF LABOR on the part
Of the Brownsville city planning
commission are 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 Ike, tell II 70
the commission on Tuesday night.
Any suggestion you have to offer,
tell it to the commission.
II will be too late after the hear
ing IS closed and the ordinance is
passed.
It is a good plan Of coming which
Bert Cromack and his committee
have prepared. helped by Major A.
Il. wood.
Its adoption will mean much 20
the future growth Of the city OF
Brownsville.
And the city OF Brownsville owes
a large sized vote Of thanks to the
members OF the committee whose
labors have been labors Of love for
their city.
VALLEY CITY PARKS are one
OF two things. .
In some cases they stand among
the finest assets Of the cities IN
which they are located.
In other cases II would be far
better for the city concerned Il y
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 It Is
located, is a matter Of compliment
arv comment from visitors.
A neglected park, well-you know
what you think when you pass
through a strange city and see is
parks all grown up In weeds.
AND THE SAME thing Is true Of
sAhool buildings.
tSome or the most attractive
sIhool grounds We have ever seen In
all our life are right here in the
Valley.
And some OF the most desolate
looking educational institutions we
have seen during the same period
are right here.
Remember. we are asking
strangers TO visit us.
we are inviting guests.
Is our house in order to receive
them?
SPECIAL SESSION OF the Texas
legislature coavenes tomorrow.
On its achievements will prob
ably depend the record left behind
by Governor Sterling for his first
two years in office.
The Houston man seems to have
the ability TO get along with his
house and with his senate.
A good quality to have.
Many a good chief executive has
been ruined by his. inability to
handle his legislature.
valley counties, strong for the
present governor, are wishing him
luck.
And are wishing the state luck,
hoping that our representatives IN
both the upper and lower house viii
~ able 10 solve the vexatious pro-
blens which come before them in
a stateSmanlike manner.
AT LAST 1T would appear that
the unpayed gaps OF the Military
Road in Cameron county are TO be
closed.
Highway commission announces
its willinrness to let the contract
AZ its meeting on July 81.
Cameron county officials scurry-
|snr around hoping to get the nee
| eSsarv RIGHTS Of way before that
Mime. are hoping TO be able 70 have
everything IN readiness for the let
ting.
