OLD POSTOFFICE
YIELDS PAPERS

A souvenir which tells part OF q
story OF progress in Brownsville 60
years ago came TO light with the
razing Of the old federal building
here.
This is a customs house duty
receipt for steel rails shipped from
Cardiff, England. to Brownsville by
way OF Port Isabel in 1872. The
rails were used In the construction
OF the Port Isabel railroad.
The paper was found by Post
master @. w. bennett in old Gus
toms house papers. most OF which
were destroyed, just as the old
building US being RACED.
Mr.. bennett gave the paper Ia
Joe Celaya. vice president OF the
Texas Bank g. Trust Co. since the
rails were shipped to his grand
father, Simon Celaya.
Simon Celaya, one Of the build
ers OF Brownsville. constructed the
narrow gauge railway from Browns
vile TO Port Isabel in 1872.
The shipment which is described
In the customs house receipt con-
sisted OF 1880 rails, weighing
476.580 pounds. This Is enough raj
to build about 5 l-2 miles OF rail-
road. Mr.. Celaya figured
The value OF the shipment was
Se.647, according to the old paper
and the duty paid on this ship
ment was S3,336.06. less 10 per cent
or $3,002.46 in cash. Just why the
discount was made was not ex-
plalned-probably for cash.
The shipment arrived on Sept
%, in the ship Peerless, with Aller
as master. The rails were taker
from the customs house by L. NJ
Spinelli. customs broker. acting To-
Mr.. Celaya. and the PAPER wa:
signed by @. G.. Davis. deputy col
lector OF customs.
