Organization Of a lower Valley

reserve Is expected to go ahead rap
idly as the result Of preliminary
work done here this week by Lieu
tenant Commander w. II. Stay
maker, US.NR.. of McAllen.
The reserve officer expressed him.
self well satisfied with prospects
for a communications unit here,
and said he expected no difficulties
in forming the unit as soon as q
unit commander Is qualified.
A well-qualifieo local man, who
has had years Of naval communica-
tons experience. has indicated that
he will make application for the
post, Lieutenant Commander Stay
maker states. The Brownsville unit
will be fortunate In acquiring q
unit commander OF his experience"
the McAllen reserve officer stated.
The visiting officer told chamber
Of commerce officials that an eff
fort would be made to have q navy
Eagle boat stationed In the Valley
for the purpose OF training the two
communications units, one of which
will have headquarters at Browns
vile and the other at McAllea
The units will be formed OF 81
officers and men each and will be
interested primarily in radio. The
operating staffs will be composed
largely OF licensed commercial and
amateur operators. but also will
carry unlicensed men on the staffs.
1t Is more than likely that the
navy department will furnish trans
mitters at both the McAllen and
Brownsville headquarters.

was never at a loss for a word.
Il wasn't any more nervous than
I am now" said DR.. Condor.
IT knew Hauptmann the first time
I saw him in the Greenwich street
police station. but ! refused to iden-
tify him because 1t wasn't fair in the
confusion that existed that night TO
do so without making further tests.
His accent, his manner. his fea-

VALUATIONS In
HIDALCO CUT

0GN&Am W ~ 80
EDINBURG. Jan. 10.-A reduc-
ton OF so per cent In assessed valua-
tons on land In Hidalgo county dur
ing 1885 was announced Wednesday
BY J.. j. Jeff Oliver. county tax
assessor-collector who took office
January /.
divers statement said the re-
duction was ordered In accordance
with his promises made during the
1884 political campaigns and that
personal property. not now assessed
or appearing on the tax rolls would
be added to offset the reductions.
He pointed out that a very large
amount OF personal property In the
county Is not now being taxed and
that most previous assessments have
been upon real estate.
Oliver said he believed the re-
duction in assessed valuations would
result in a smaller total Of delin-
quent taxes and that the reduction
would more evenly reflect decreases
in real estate values brought about
by the depression.
Noteworthy among hume r o u S
items slated for reduction N the
1885 assessment schedule are citrus
trees. Those less than four years
old will not be considered as add
ing to the value OF the land because
they are not in production and are
an expense rather than an asset
at the time OF assessment. -Four
and five year-old trees viii be
valued at $40 pei acre and this
amount will be added to the per
acres valuation o the land on
which they r planted in accord
ance with the schedule Of land val
ues. Six year-old trees and older
trees viii be valued at $50 per
acre.
City property, personal property
and improvements will be assessed
at so per cent Of their full value.
while a detailed schedule for other
real estate in the county has been
worked out in accordance with its
location and the type Of land.
Oliver said the net result of the
new schedule would be a reduction
Of about so per cent In assessed val
ues Of real estate.

purpose and sent the bill to the
house.
The house completed the tedious

ing the personnel OF the various
standing committees. The com
mittees we're not expected to be Gn-
nounced until late this week or early
