WESfFLAYS
■ JEALOUSIES
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO July 19—Cong.
Milton H. West appealed to the
people not to permit petty or com-
munity jealousies to interfere with
the good of the entire Valley say-
ing that what helped one town
helped all the others.
He made the appeal at a meet-
ing of the Kiwanis club Wednesday i
at the Stonewall Jackson hotel.
There were a large number of visi-
tors present including members of
the Lions and Rotary clubs.
West said that with very few ex-
ceptions there were few loans made
to this district which there were
not some objections. He referred
particularly to the Home Owners
Loan Corp.. and the controversy
over location of the central office
He appealed also to the people to
be patient with the government
asking charity and patience in view
of the immense undertaking in
which the »dministration is en-
gaged in bringing recovery to the
nition He said there would be no
grumblings over delays if It were
generally realised what a great
amount of work had to be done.
Pres. Roosevelt did not have a
nucleus around which to build his
organizations but he had to go out
in “the open market-’ and get his
personnel. Many incompetents were
employed but West said most of
these had bebn found out and re-
moved so that future operations of
the various agencies should be
smoother and speedier.
West described the procedure
followed by congress on legislation
and by the PWA in considering ap-
plications for loans.
Miss Barbara Barrier sang a solo
with Mrs. F. W. Colmery at the
piano.
Dr E T. Morris who presided at
the meeting introduced Pres. W R.
Browm of the Lions club and Pres.
Hugh Robertson of the Rotarians.
Visiting Kiwan.ans included Don
Walley. Dr R E. Utley and M H
Ford of Harlingen and B F. Har-
din and Oscar Dancy of Browns-
ville.
CITY PARK’S
RESACA GETS
FISHSUPPLY
Residents of this city at least
some of them are going to be able
to step out in their back yards and
catch bass in t e near future.
For 35.000 bass and other lish
have been placed in the City Park
resaca here which has been deepen-
ed. cleaned out and beautified ;n
the park program carried put w'th
relief labor the past year.
Waters Protected
The resaca. which is about a half
mile long and ranges in depth irom
two to five feet will make an ideal
spot for bass. The waters are pro-
tected from predatory fish such as
gars and conditions are good for
spawning and feeding.
A total of 8.000 bass. 12.500 gog-
gle-eye perch and 14.500 orcam
were placed in the resaca recently
by Roy Linn superintendent of the
state fish hatchery' at Olmito.
These fish will be large enough to :
afford some sport by the fa'l of j
this year and next spring fishing
in the resaca should be a real at-
traction.
Some plan of protection as to
number and size of fish that can
be removed will probably be adopt-
ed. as has been done in other clos-
ed bodies of water in the city and
near it
To Improve Pishing
The state hatchery at Olmito is
rapidly completing its task of dis-
tributing 500000 fish througnout
the district. Linn said With placing
of 35.000 fish in the city resaca only
a few thousand are left and these
will be moved in a short time.
Bass and perch fishing in the
Valley this fail and winter are ex-
pected to be better than they have
been in years. Although many bass
are being caught now by fisher-1
men using live bait it is difficult to
catch them in the summer with
artificial bait.
Child Bites Hook
BEAUMONT July 19. 4>i—Being
the smallest of the Caraway chil-
dren. Gregory 3 was elected to play
the role of “the fish" when hts
brothers decided to try fish^g in
their back yard.
The screams of Gregory neatly
hooked through the mouth warn d
his mother how realistic the ?ame
was being played and she olaced
a ban on it forthwith. Gregory had
the hook removed from his mouth
at a hospital.

DECT AGAIN
WASHINGTON. July 19. oP)-
Debts ol American cities have be-
gun to increase again in a big way.
lheir total is estimated now at al-
most $18000000000.
Betoie the depression the Dial
was going up at the rate ol a bil-
lion dollars a year. The slump in-
terrupted that but figures show-
ed Thursday that municipal bor-
rowings in the general market in
the first six months of 1934 exceed-
ed $500000000. This was approxi-
mately the same sum as lor the
whole of 1933.
Banks stripped ol their dealings
in general bond* by the Securities
act which divorced banking from
the private securities trade have
been active participants in the dis-
posal of municipal bonds
Added to the sales of such securi-
ties in the capital market have L>e*n
loans to cities through federal
emergency agencies.
Some ol the bonds bought by the
Public Works administration have
been resold at a profit and it holds
others that can be disposed of sim-
ilarly but not all fall in this class.
Among the bonds held arc ooiiga-
tions of cities that already were in
default when PWA loans and
grants were made to acquire or
build utility plants in the Ten-
nessee valley.
The Reconstruction Finance cor-
!>oration was authorized by the last
congress to make $250 000 000 more
available to the PWA for loans to
cities. Whether the entire amount
will he lent is considered doubtful.
