BROWNSVILLE FOR SANI-
TATION
Brownsville has already evidenced
its determination to grade one hun-
dred per cent in the matter of sani-
tation. The construction of the
fine sewage disposal plant just about
completed at a cost of $50000 is
proof of this. This plant will be ad-
equate to the needs of the city for
a good many years being in fact
ample for the needs of a town
twice the size of Brownsville’s
present population. Also the
modern and thoroughly up-to-date
abattoir just completed here at a
cost of $35000—another improve-
ment which has been planned and
built with a view to supplying a
much larger city which Brownsville
soon will be—is another evidence in
point. The city has long possessed
a sanitary sewerage system and
also a storm sewerage system. Its
water and light service are equal to
the best anywhere.
In fact our little city actually
possesses many modern and thor-
oughly substantial public improve-
ments which few places of this size
can ooasx.
Now however it develop* that
there is still more work ahead of the
city in order to insure thorough sani-
tation. That some big problems of
this nature are confronting the city
has become evident this summer.
Our city government has before it
the necessity of draining the city
resaca which will require expert
engineering and possibly will in-
volve considerable expense. Until
this is accomplished it is probable
that the summer plague of mosqui-
toes cannot be remedied entirely.
The need of a pasteurization
plant for the sterilization and distri-
bution of the local milk supplies un-
der strictly sanitary regulations has
become apparent and the city will
endeavor to follow the advice of the
state health officials in this respect
a* quickly as it can be done. This
need not be so very expensive yet
it will add something to the city’s
operating expenses.
The establishment of a city labora-
tory and employment of a competent
bacteriological expert to test the
water nnd milk supply daily and
also to make bacteriological anal-
yses and disease tests of various
kinds is another recommendation of
the state health officials which the
city doubtless will undertake as soon
as possible. The fitting up of a
city laboratory need not cost a great
deal we understand and an efficient
bacteriologist probably can be em-
ployed at not over $150 per month.
Any thoroughly competent trained
nurse can perform this work.
These improvements are consider-
ed necessary to insure the health of
the city. The Herald is assured
that our city government is entirely
sincere in its desire to accomplish
them as soon as it can be done.
Brownsville is going to be 100 per
cent sanitary in every way.
A TEXAS ARTIST RECOG-
NIZED
“To have a picture exhibited in
any New York art gallery of re-
pute is a genuine achievement.”
writes the Houston Chronicle corres-
pondent at New York “but to have
work ’hung on the line’ in the Am-
erican Art Galleries at West Fifty-
seventh street and Madison Ave. is
more than an achievement. It is an
honor with distinction.” This hon-
or the report goes on to tell has
been given the work of Mrs. Richard-
son Cherry of Houston two of whose
pictures in oils have been hung in
the art galleries named this year
pud were shown later at the Metro
politan Art School in New York
City also. Mrs. Richardson’s sub-
jects include landscapes and por-
traits. One of her pictures that were
displayed is “The Young Century
Plant” which is described as a can-
vass 20 by 24 showing blue-green
leaves of a century plant unfolding
shell-like in purple shadows the
whole rising out of a bed of yellow
poppies and purple verbenas. The
other was a portrait of an “Old
I-iidy. ” Mrs. Richardson’s work
won commendatory criticism front
Heading art critics in New York. Her
triumph is one of which Texans
who crave to see their beloved state
advance in culture ntay well be
proud.

( That handsome new fire-fighting

Brownsville can justly boast. An-
other proof that our city govern-

Germany’s paper debt now
‘amounts to over six trillion marks
'end is still mounting. We wonder
jhow they find the time to count all
the trashy stuff that masquerades
as money in that country at present.
And by the way isn’t Browns-
ville about due to have another re-
duction in that insurance key rate
dear City Dads? With no fire* in
such a long time and that new mod-
ern fire-fighting apparatus it looks
as if the rate might drop a bit.
The treaty of Lausanne makes
sure the re-establishment of the
Turk in Europe. Thus one of the
preatest pains which it was hoped
that civilization had won in the de-
feat of Germany and her allies has
been renounced. Christianity can
but hnap its head at the result of
that lonp-drawn out Lausanne con-
ference.
“What about the plan to store
the wheat for the farmers?" was
asked of an Oklahoma wheat farmer
the other day. “That is only a
scheme to pet the wheat on the mar-
ket” was the reply. "The ware-
houses charpc a cent anil a half a
bushel per month for storinp the
wheat and if the farmer does not
pay storape charpes at the end of the
month the wheat poes straipht to
market." The wheat prowers surely
are havinp a hard old time of it this
year with no immediate relief in
sipht.
We thoupht it was pretty hot in
our own sweet home town the past
few days but when we read of a
temperature of 100 deprees and
over in north Texas towns durinp
the same time we feel that w«
have little room for complaint. Heat
prostrations in Dallas! Let Browns-
ville folks be thankful that they live
in the most southern town on the
United States mainland—just a
short distance north of the tropics—
and are cooled by the delicious
breezes from the Gulf of Mexico.
