4Neglect9 or 4Fail9 to Render Your Watch--Be Fined--Is Provision in Proposed Charter
****** and the City Commission may provide a fine
for all persons neglecting failing or refusing to render
their property for taxation."
SO READS the final part of the last sentence in Sec-
tion 5 of Proposition No. 9 among the amendments
to be voted upon by Brownsville citizens next Tuesday
August 29.
This provision in an otherwise innocuous proposal
is vicious and dangerous. It is undesirable in a citv
charter. It is as bad in its way as the long forgotten
debtors’ laws wherein debtors were jailed.
We are assured by several attorneys that nowhere
in the state statutes is there any provision which calls
for a fine to be assessed against a person for “neglect-
ing failing or refusing” to render property for taxation.
The state statutes do provide facilities for getting
taxable property on the rolls regardless of the wishes
of the owner of real or personal property. There are
ways to handle the recalcitrant property owner who
wantf to evade his proper taxes. The assessor on find-
ing the property may estimate its value for taxation
and place it on the unrendered roll. The obstreperous
one may even be hailed before the grand jury but that is
extreme and is seldom brought into use. The assessor
has the power and the authority to prepare the list
which goes on the “unrendered” rolls; in fact under
the law he is required to do so.
JUST A FEW DAYS ago a Houston taxpayer who had
refused to sign a rendition was cited by the board of
equalization for contempt and an effort was made to
send him to jail until he signified his willingness to at-
tach his signature to his property list. The defendant
appealed to the district court for relief in the form of an
injunction and it was granted. The Houston equaliza-
tion body had an out of course the authorities hav-
ing the power to value the property and place it on the
unrendered rolls.
There is a big difference in “refusing” to make a
rendition and “neglecting” or “failing” to make it.
This “joker” is the one thing that makes the whole
Proposal No. 9 unacceptable. And several other
amendments have “jokers” that are equally vicious and
dangerous.
The amendment if approved by the voters of
Brownsville would authorize the city commission to
provide a fine through an ordinance.

LETS ASSUME that the amendment is adopted.

^LFRED A. TAMM. HARLIN-
Ren. is a leading engineer of the
Valley. A man with a high reputa-
tion among contemporary irrigation
engineer* over the nation.
He represent* the Valley on thei
engineering board of the Internal-!
ional Boundary Commission.
In this position he ran speak with
authority on the subject of the
plans still in their early stage for
conserving and storing the waters
of the Rio Grande to assure a per-
manent and ample supply for the
600.000 or more acre* of irrigated
and irrigable land m the Valley.
It has already been announced
and confirmed more recently by
Congressman Milton H. West that
negotiations with Mexico to reach
an agreement on dams and water
storage and division have come to
a definite end.
And now work a ill be directed to-
* w ard a ays and means to store and
distribute waters on the American
side of the river.
• » •
DUT BACK TO MR TAMM
D Recently he was invited to apeak
to the Hidalgo County District 14
Water Users Association at Mission
Following that address he was
quoted In the papers as having esti-
mated that the cost of storing wa-
ters and building dams on the Am-
erican side of the river would be
from $32000000 to $40000000.
Mr Tamm later said that he had
made no estimate of the cost of the
project.
He said that no estimate of cost
of the project had been made up.
and could not be until a definite
plan of construction had been drawrn
up.
However Mr Tamm did tell his
audience that a system of American
canals storage dams and reservoirs
had been tentatively laid out by
the engineers
( W’ater from the Rio Grande would
be utilized under this plan taken
from the nver by giant pumps at a
point in the western end of the
Valley.
• • •
THE -PLANS ARE BY NO MEANS
1 complete.
But Engineer la mm says that
they have progressed far enough
that the engineers can predict the
plans will be ready for submission
♦o Valley residents by the first of
February of next year.
They show that the water will be
lifted 25 feet out of the Rio Grande
at a point about 75 miles upstream
from Rio Grande City in the Za-
pata area.
The water will be carried to a
huge reservoir to be located at one
of two sites; either at the Arroyo
del Tlgre. or downstream at the
Lo6 Olinos arroyo. some 26 miles
west of Mission. The site will be
large enough to store from 300000
to 400.000 acre feet of water.
From this storage the water will
be pumped into the various canal
systems of the alley. These sys-
tems will have to be hooked up
with connecting lines. Just how
this plan 1s to be worked out is still
in the consideration stage
-THUS IT IS SEEN THAT WORK
* Is going on which has for its
purpose the development of a per-
manent and adequate supply of wa-
ter for the Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley-
The ideal arrangement would
have been perhaps the develop-
ment of a treaty with Mexico for
the joint construction of a system
which would have permitted the use
of the Rio Grande channel for both
aides.
And the continued use of the
present pumping systems along the
lower part of the stream.
But Mexico had water problems

from Hitler that Germany would not modify her demands
because of the British guaranty of Poland.
In light of these sw ift developments. France Wednes-

that French troops called to the colors will number
