Advantages of the proposed air-
plane route from ban Antonio to

and Brownsville over other border
points arc set fo:th by G. L. Hive
president of the Compunia Mexicaua
do Aviation in a letter to G. C.
Richardson manager of the Browns-
ville Chamber of Commerce.
"I believe it is possible to estab-
lish a st rvn( between Mexico Cut
and ban A. ionio via your city” Mr.
Rive stated m his communication.
This is the most direct line and the
■ safest that can be flown and we
have had it in mind for some time.
”1 believe also that it will be pos-
sible to get what would amount 10
a &dbsi<iy irom the Mexican govern-
ment but 1 ;%n not positive that we
can get enough guarantees from bus-
iness concerns ip. Mexico to Makv
this profitable. We edimate ihi
a company putting on such a service
would nee 1 a guarantee of $40UvM
a month which of course would not
cover expenses hut probably th-
difference could be picked up from
.passenger express and air mail .<u^i-
nesx.
"It will cost about half a million
-dollars to • slahiish such a service
and the capital would have to he en

bundle all business affairs.
It is anouncod by the lessees that
KWWG is to be rebuilt with all the
atcst equipment at a cost of several
housand dollars. It is to be operat-
'd as a Lower Rio Grande Valley
broadcasting station on a eommercial
basis. The station here is to be in
rharge of a first-class technician and
announcer and an office is to be
maintained here as at the other twot
stations. KWWG is to continue to|
boost for the Valley the lessees said
and will be on the air six nights a
seek. The broadcasting schedule
probably will call for as much as
five hours of broadcasting a day. ;
Station to be Rebuilt
Parts are being ordered for the
work of rebuilding the station and!
rhe work is to be started soon to
put KWWG in a first class shape.
It will continue to be a 500-watt
station. '
“It is my opinion that it will be
better for the Valley and will mean
more good publicity for this section
than would have been possible under
the old system.** says Mr. Pender-
graft.
“All programs of the Heal station
are to be announced in advance from
the San Antonio nad Fort Wor.h sta-
tions. and their listeners wil! be in-
vited to tunc in on KWW1 pro-

Golden Is Technician
“Frank Goldcr a first class com-
mercial operator and a graduate of
a radio engineering schohol will be
technician for the San Antonio and
Brownsville stations. He has had'

fitted for the position. He was with
Mr. Gilliam in the Valley when the
proposition «>f leasing KWWG was

KWWG. Many people undoubtedly
have been attracted to the \ alley by
the radio programs which have gone
out he says.
Sketches History
Mr. Richardson briefly sketched ■
the history of the local station since
the money was first raised by public •
subscription to erect it. He said
that the people of Brownsville j
thought that the city should have a f
broadcasting station and subscribed
enough money to erect KWWG which
put on its first program May 1*'>. J
192b. The station was deeded to the
City of Brownsville and the city com-
mission operated it for some time.
The station then was turned over to
the Chamber of Comercc for opera- j
tion. The chamber found it an ex-
pensive item and last summer the
public subscribed to a publicity and !
tadio fund with which the station j
was maintained for some time. Con-
tinued financing of the station pro\ - j
ed difficult and efforts were made
this year to raise money for th<
purpose of operating the station on a!
Valley-wide publicity basis. Mr.)
Richardson said that this propost-
tion unfortunately could not be car ‘
ried out and that the leasing of the
station to the Lone Star Broadcast j
Company appeared to be the best '
solution to the problem.
Will Still Boost Valley
MI feel certain that the station
will be operated ni a manner thu:
will continue to bring the Valley as
much publicity as if not more than '
under the old management” he said
••The station has been a 'white etc ’
pliant' on. the hands >« Uu* t r.a H
of Commerce because of in-^R
ctent funds to take * ire «f th .JS
expense connected with iU epet I '
The people will never iwlin I
what trials the Cha» *ber of
merce has had with the statin ■
the edfnrt and money; that it ■
cost the organization.

well with the station while it
