_'. GEN. Edgar Jadwin no
gur is chief of army engineers at
H_ihington, having been retired
Wednesday, that being his 64th
birthday.
Gen. Jadwin was more than a
name to the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley, and although he had denied
some of the appeals which had been
addressed to him from this section,
he was considered a friend.
His Interest in this section was
| great and his knowledge of it more
thorough than many persons be
lieved.
Commodore Louis Cobolini. until
his death two years ago head of
the chamber of commerce harbor
committee, was a close personal
friend of Gen. Jadwin.
♦ When a problem of any nature
Arose along the Gulf coast Gen
Jadwin would address a letter to
Commodore Cobolini asking for in
formation.
I For Commodore Cobolini during
his more than 89 years of life had
accumulated a vast store of knowl
edge on a great variety of subjects
and among the subjects on which
he was posted was navigation con
ditions along the coast.
So Gen. Jadwin often asked Com
Inodore for information—and always
received a reply, a reliable reply.
Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, for
many years assistant to Gen. Jad
win, has become chief of army en
gineers and in him the Valley also
has a friend.

BRITISH FIRM ON

ly today if the financial committee

I demand for an increased share of

government regarded the point as

—
irosi, presented me request ror trip
expenses on a new basis, and the
city commission, in a special meet
ing at the city hall, passed unani
mously a move to donate $1,500 for
uniforms. The action came after
White, referring to Amendment 3,
Section 24 of the city charter, read
as follows:
Charter Quoted
“The city commission may an
nually appropriate moneys from the
general fund of the city ,to the ag
gregate amount of not more than
five (5) mills on each one dollar
valuation of the taxable property
within the city in any one year, for
the following purposes or any one
or more of them, to-wit:
*—2. The establishment and
maintenance of a municipal band or
orchestra, and the giving of public
concerts.—
“—6. Grants in aid of any private
institution, organized and operating
for any of the foregoing purposes,
provided no public institution of
like character is then in operation,
and provided further, that the
grants in aid be expended under the
direction of the city commission for
the public use and benefit only.”
Expense Legalized
Harbert Davenport, representing
the Legion, then told the commis
sion that the charter legalized the
appropriation and declared it re
mained for the city to decide only
whether the trip justifies the ex
penditure.
White said the drum and bugle
corps many times had acted as a
municipal band, and cited the fact
that on the past July 4. the organ
ization remained here at no cost to
the city, when it could have signed
a contract with tne City of Mc
Allen at $150 per day for four days
of performance during their cele
bration.
White declared “he certainly did
not appreciate the attitude of th.»
chamber of commerce in beating
around the bush on the issue.”
Mayor Cole said the chamber had
“shifted the burden and acted un
fairly in the matter."
Chamber Scored
Immediately after this order was
passed, a resolution recommending
to the chamber of commerce that it
appropriate the remaining amount
necessary for making the trip was
passed, three to two. The motion
was made by Commissioner J. G.
Starck. seconded by Cobolini, and
carried with the vote of Hinkley.
Cole and Hipp voted “no.”
After the meeting was adjourned
Cole explained that he favored the
appropriation for uniforms because
he felt it was for public benefit and
use, but that he is opposed to the
trip to Louisville because “I feel
that public money shouldn t be
spent in that way. I tell you flat
ly that I am opposed to the trip to
Louisville.”
White then thanked the commis
sion for its action, “especially.” he
said, “because the commissioners
individually and collectively came
out in the open as to how you felt
on the matter.”

NAIROBI, KENYA Colono.v. Aug

States consul, died yesterday at the
Mala Carberry nursing home.
Commission Endorses
Move to Open Bridge
Another step toward the opening
of the Missouri Pacific bridge to ve
hicular traffic was taken Thurs
day morning, this time by the city
commission, which passed a resolu
tion authorizing the city secretary
to write a letter to the secretary of
the treasury requesting him to Join
in efforts to open the bridge‘owned
by the Brownsville and Matamoroe
Bridge company at the earliest pos
sible date.
The motion, made by Commis
sioner A. C. Hipp, seconded by J.
A. Cobolini and passed unanimous
ly, added that "it is the opinion of
the commission that said bridge is
practically located for traffic of all
kinds and that its opening will add
to the public facilities and be a pub
lic benefit.”
Harbert Davenport, acting for the
bridge company, stated that all ob
stacles in Mexico had been obviat
ed, and that the only thing holding
up the opening was tne failure of
the U. S. government to Station im
migration and customs officials at
this end of the bridge.
The letter also probably will ap
prise the government of the city's
investment in the road to the
bridge, for which the commission
voted to stand one-third of the cost
of construction,
