ard some time ago transmitted to Gov
ernor Ross correspondence in which the
Mexican authorities coDplain OF the
sction of Texas authorities at FL Peso
looking to the construction OF q
large drain pipe which the former
alleges ia to pass through lands that are
considered IS belonging to Mexico, al
though they are now on the left side Of
the Rio GraEde, and is to serve SIS an
outlet into the river. The main objsc
tons are, as the Rio GraD6e is an inter
national river, it does not seem proper
for the works to be constructed on banks
affecting the health of the towns lying op-
posite without the consent of the two gov
ernments interested, leaving ont OF con-
siderstion the lack of right on the psrt of
the city authorities of Ri Paao,
Tex, to construct such q work
on land that is thought to be-
long 10 Mexico. Governor Ross
sent the correspondence to J. NJ. Dean,
District Attorney for the district, to re-
port to him upon the facts, Mr.. Dean
states that the drain pipe complained OF
has been cons sucted By the Texas au-
thorities on the north and American side
of the R o Grsnde and empEiss into that
river two and one half miles below the
point where that river is tapped by the
Mexican squeduct, the acequis madre OF
Psso Del Norte. The territory on the
Mexican side Of the river is wholly unin-
hsbited for distance of twenty miles
below the point where the sewer pipe
eTp,les. Dean says there Is no danger
Ct The sewer affecting the health of the
people OF FL Paso. G vernon Ross to-
dey forwarded the correspondence to
