Decision Postponed
iSnerval to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. July 19. — Arroyo
Navigation district commission has
indefinitely postponed decision on
the purchase of a new dredge, it
was officially announced Thursday.
Postponement was due largely to
the fact that Joe L. Penry, Jr. ,
chairman of the commission, was
called to Fort Worth by the serious
illness of his father-in-law. and
left the Valley Thursday morning.
Dissension became evident Thurs
day among commissioners regard
ing the type of dredge to be pur

expected to be settled when the
commission again takes up the
question on the return of chairman
Penry*.
