of the departments needs, especially
in view of the greatly expanded Navy

Mr.. Vinson and the other wit
nesses explained that the plans call
for two building units comparable
to those already authorized to house
the War Department, and in ad-
dition a naval museum building
and berthing for four historical
WarShips of the Navy.
Adds Point of Interest.
The committee was told that the
naval museum and the berthing
OF historical vessels along the water

point of interest to the many Gov
eminent exhibits in Washington "

Department spokesman that the
ship berthings are to be on the
river side of the Potomac driveway
Four vessels representing four wars
IN which the United States Navy
has had a prominent part are to be

l4Mexicans Are
Deported Here

Fourteen Mexican citizens, picked
in various places in California, were
deported from the United States
through the Nogales port of entry
on August %, according to A. J.
Milliken, Chief Inspector of the
immigration Service here.
Brought to Tucson on a regular
east bound deportation train the
party was conveyed here by Immi-
grafton Inspector o. w. Manney
and Border Patrol Inspector Gerald
David of the Tucson personnel.
Seven children born in the United
States accompanied the deportees.
Chief Inspector Milliken says that
by legal oddity, these children are
considered citizens of both the
United States and Mexico, since any,
one born in this country is citi-
zen and children born to Mexican
citizens away from their home coun-
try are citizens of Mexico.

secured, along with other new equip
ment.
Lettermen returning are: James
Macris, Gus Cabrera, Robert Davi-
son, Albert zenizo, and Frank Reed,
backfield; Alex Durazo, end; Man
uel Gastellum, guard; Edward
Bayze, tackle; Eddie Marian, cen

Second string men returning are !:
Carlos Cabrera, backfield; Dan
Uribe. David Jaramillo and Ed Pier

as much good material among the
prospective players as he anticipates,
his team this year will compare fa-
vorably in strength with last years
squad. Since most of the new men
are nine graders, they will provide
seasoned material for several future
teams even if they fail to make the
first string in their initial year out

County 1899 Tax Rate Set At $3.O926

defaulted on street paving bonds
had to be taken over by the city in
the past year, and the state also
took title to property. These items,
with the increased exemptions, were
responsible for loss in valuation.
This year the total property valu-
alton in the county is more than
100000 less than it was last year.
New car tax legislation cut the tax
able wealth over $10O 900 in a lump,
and this loss will necessarily be
larger next year.
Because of heavy bonded indebted
ness contracted during former ad-
ministrations, present supervisors
are powerless to reduce assessments
to cover interest payments on bonds
which take large proportion of
county tax funds.
