XXXIII, No. 348 ESTABLISHED 1892 BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE W, i^o m v _ - -————————■—i — I OUT at the edge of Brownsville there has been built in the last eighteen months a very large in dustry. This industry represents an outlay of something like $150,000. It manu factures brick, hollow building tiles, and drain tiles. The products of this plant, owned and operated by the Valiey Clay Pro ducts Co., iii going into tjp# erection of Hotel^EI Jardin. an eight-story ■Md'ftg to cost about $125,000. W 3 '* product of this plant has been ' r ' »ved by well kr own Austin e .itects for the erection of school .ctures at Pharr-San Juan. ,* .he product of this plant is being ed in many other structures. A San Antonio architect was given ..he contract by the Brownsville school board to plan a ward school building, to be erected in Victoria Heights at a cost of around $25,00(1. Hollow building tile has been specified for the structure. The contractor, it is understood, planned to use the product of the Valley tile plant. The architect said: “No, you can’t use Valley tile.’’ or words to that ef fect. • • • Why not? This is a home industry, financed largely by home people; it pays taxes here, county and state, and probably in the Brownsville school district. The architect should have a very good reason for denying the use of a home-constructed article in the erec tion of a publicly owned building in the citv of Brownsville. Surely he has been misinformed about the product. Surery he must be laboring under some sort of an in correct impreession. It is difficult to believe that he would refuse to permit the use of tile in this build ing when it is being so generally used <in this territory. ♦ • * The Harlingen Chamber of Com merce has decided that it is not a wise policy for Valley towns to raise funds for entertainment of visitors, delegations, conventions, Ho, in Matainoros. Probably every town will applaud the sentiment oft he Harlingen or ganization, which points out that as a rule the money raised for such entertainment is spent with institu tions which hear no part of the ex pense of such entertainment. The Brownsville Chamber of Com merce, we believe, months ago took the stand that there was no reason why Brownsville should put up for such entertainment, and has pursued that policy. This stand, of course, h«* no bearing on meals that may be j served in Brownsville to such visit ors, or to participation with other Valley towns in expense of enter tainment on this side. f For one thing, it is much too ex pensive, this thing of pre-Vol steudian spreads at public expense. The visitor who wishes such enter tainment can well uffurd to pay lii» own way, and no doubt would pre fer to do so. Tours may end in Matainoros if de sired, but the entertainment should end with that, the visitor being per mitted to select his entertainment thereafter.
