147,000 JONES PHILANTHROPY
JESSE H. JONES Is not too active in Houston af-
fairs nowadays, although his Influence can be felt
and aeen by those who keep up with activity in the
big metropolis.
But his big checkbook had him back in the head-
lines during the past weekend, and he was getting
pretty cloee to Baytown with his latest philanthro-
pic effort.
He handed the San Jacinto Muaeum board a
check for *47,000 to provide another—and twice as
faat—elevator to take customers up and down in the
monument at the Battlegrounds.
They already have one there, of course, but it
can make an "up" speed of only 300 feet a minute,
and that's pretty slow traveling.
So now they're going to have another out there,
one that will take the customers at a rate of 300
feet upward per minute.
The new lift ahould be ready In about Six months,
(Editor's Note; Pardon me for calling an elevator
« lift, but It'a the continental Influence. It cost
money for me to go to Europe last year. I don't
want the cash customeri to forget It.)
You no doubt remember the difference between
PWA and YVPA. If you don’t, drop by the office foi
a personal explanation. I can't clutter up this Ss’
Jacinto monument column any further,
BAYTOWN-SAN JACINTO PARK .
BAYTOWN, HOUSTON and all of Texas ahou!
express their gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Jones fc
this splendid gesture.
The shadows of the monument have always edge
across the ship channel toward Baytown, and now
with completion soon of the Baytown-La Porte tun-
nel, the park and the monument will become “clos-
er” to Baytown than they have ever been.
That makes the Improvement of elevator servir
all the more Important to ua.
■HAFT FINANCING
THE BATTLEGROUND monument has long been
a favorite of Jesse Jones.. He la more personally
responsible for the shaft than any other Texan.
It la Interesting now nearly 20 years after con-
struction started to review how the shrine was fi-
manced.
Jonea wa* chairman of the Reconstruction Fi-
ance corporation In those days in Washington. He
it Vice President John Garner and Secretary of
fate Cordell Hull to allocate *400,000 of the federal
lovernment's *3,000,000 Texas Centennial appropria-
ion toward the project. Then he got Texas to kick
■I *300,000 of Its centennial funds.
Even old rough and tough Harold Ickea, then
PWA bo*s, was talked out of *250,000 from the pub-
lic work* funds that were put up by Uncle Sam to
Stimulate construction and create work.
Then Harry Hopkins, who was WPA boss, kicked
in with nearly *1,000,000 of federal funds which
had been appropriated by congress specifically to
create employment.
A REAL OPPORTUNITY
IT SEEMS TO members of the staff of The Bay
town Sun that there has been more crime in th'
Baytown area in recent weeks than In recent years
or months More big crime, that 1*.
Therefore, we think It is most timely that Dis-
trict Attorney W. H. (Bill) Scott came here at noon
Wednesday to discuss the problems of crime and
law enforcement.
The Baytown Sun feels that every person Inter-
ested In Baytown as their hometown will be in-
terested in Lawyer Scott’s discussion. As a public
gesture. The Sun has made arrangements to have
Scott's talk broadcast over KREL at 9 p.m. Wednes-
day.
He has made this talk a couple of times before
in Houston, and those who heard it have given It
high compliments. For that reason, we wanted the
people of Baytown—all of them—to hear it.
So if you are at home tonight, tune in on KREL
at 9 p.m. and hear what your District Attorney
thinks about the situation in Baytown, in Houston
and in Harris county in general.
He won’t mince any words. We believe you will
enjoy it. We will welcome any reaction you ire-
have. Write us a note and let us know what r
think, whether you agree or disagree.
