McALLEN. Aug. 8—The city of
McAllen will continue to operate the
local municipal hospital despite a
small deficit in its budget each
month.
Thus decision concerning the mod
ern $232,000 plant was reached by
the city commission at a meting this
week.
There had been discussion of a
proposal to lease the hospital to
some Individual in an efofrt to wipe
out the expense of Its operation to
the city.
It was decided that the city
could operate the institution as
any individual and that It would
tend to become a paying proposition
as the population of the surround
ing territory increased and more
patients became available.

BOX BILL HIT
BY ROBERTSON
Says Measure ft Misunder
standing of Border
Conditions .
Dangers from the passage of the
Box immigration bill were char
acterized as more important to the
Valley's welfare than any other is
sue new under discussion by Col.
Sam Robertson in a talk before the
Rotary club here Wednesday.
“There are now 30,000 deportable
Mexicans in the Valley who would
be driven out under the Box
bill." he declared. “If these are
deported, who is to gather the crops,
and supply the labor necessary for
further development. These work
ers have made the Valley what it
is now. and are absolutely necessary
for Its continued growth."
Economic Danger
Discounting the injustice of de
porting these builders of Valley
prosperity, he called attention to the
economic danger, and urged the
necessity of some action being taken
to prevent the passage of the bill,
which he denounced as the out
growth of misunderstanding of con
ditions between the two republics,
and the immigration situation along
the border. The plea that the Jobs
would be left for American labor he
discarded with reminders of pre
vious experiences with the type o?
labor which has been coming into
the Valiev from the north.
Judge W. H Ward of Houston, a
guest of thp club, urged continued
i to efforts to procure a deep water
port, regardless of the exact loca
tion. citing Houston's experience of
development all along the ship
channel as showing the value of
such a project to the entire locality.
Choice of a club nominee for the
title of "most distinguished citizen"
in the legion contest was not made,
on the recommendation of the board
of directors. Insufficient time to
make a fair and accurate estimate
of achievements on which to base
such a selection was given as the
reason for the action.
Committees Appointed
Wm. S. West, recently elected
president nf the club, appointed
committees for the year, and gave

tarians. and possible activities for
