Loaned Valley Citrus
Men for Trees Care

j. w. Evans, representative of
the rural communities rehabilita-
ton administration and working
under the federal relief program
arrived in the Valley this week and
Is making plans to start the work
OF accepting applications for loans
from the federal fund. He was
sent here at the request OF Repre-
sentative Milton II. West and other
Texas congressman at washington.
Evans preliminary work con-
Germs the actual needs Of the VAL
ley for orchard reconstruction and
rehabilitation work. He Is survey
ing the entire area and expects TO
announce the date for the start OF
loan issuance in the near future.
Orders from Austin or Washing
ton, where relief officials are work.
ing on the new Valley project, are
being awaited before applications
are taken.
1t is likely that chambers Of
commerce or other civic organiza-
tons in the Valley viii assist in
the heavy task Of accepting and
aiding growers in filing the correct
type OF applications. No location
for the headquarters Of the loan
work in this area has been an
nounced.
The individual borrowers abili-
~ to repay will guide loan off,
Gals in determining the length OF
time allowed on each loan. Evans
explained. The money may be
used for spraying, pruning or other
wise improving orchards. II Is
likely that only applicants who
cannot obtain loans from private
or other federal agencies will be
allowed to apply for the new funds.
Thus far Evans has been unable
to organize the personnel OF his
loan agency in this section. but
will do this as soon as major de-
tails Of the program are carried to
completion.

various women's clubs of Browns
vile put their respective minds
together. and the Civic League
decided to sponsor a petition ad-
dressed to the City Commission.
The petition asked that:
Horses, COWS. goats, sheep. burros
and whatnotS. be prohibited by
city ordinance from existence
within the city limits Of Browns
vile. unless confined with a space
OF three acres or more.
For reasons OF health. Of civic
welfare. the animals should be
abolished. the petition reads.
Also was 1t set forth
that chickens. geese. turkeys and
other feathered fowl. If allowed
TO exist within the limits OF the
city Of Brownsville. should exist
only within the confines OF prop
erly fenced yards. yards fenced to
the extent that the said chickens
could net. cannot, roam over
neighbors' gardens and lawns.
And along the same line OF
thought, the garbage situation-to
call a spade a Spade-came into
consideration. 1t being a well
known fact that Brownsville gar
bage Is gathered In a more or less
haphaZard fashion. and Is set cut
fer gathering in a still more hap
hazard fashion. the women decid-
ed to ask that method be applied
TO the present system. Det the
householderS Of the city provide
tightly covered receptacles for
their refuse, they set forth in their
petition. and let it be made a mis-
demeanor for any one to monkey
with these receptacles. once they
are set out and filled with refuse.
