support at the bond election. should the
commissioners act favOrably.
Chief justice w. NJ. PeticOlas of the
court of appeals was of the opinion that
the highway bond issue was the only
way that the work could be done before
spring, and he said that the work should
have been done many years ago.
Would Straighten River
John w. Eubank, county surveyor.
presented a plan. which, if carried out,
viii save at least half the amount that
the work would originally cost. His plan
is to straighten the river for a distance
Of about a quarter of mile at the five
mile bridge and then deepen its bed
about four OF five feet. In this way the
river would get higher banks all along
the lower part of its course and thus much
work on the levee would not be required.
Permission for this would have to be
obtained from the Mexican government
before the work could be done. This
work would only take about three weeks
time and would not impede the work on
the building of the highway
Judge Eylar said that president Fran
cisco T. MaderO of Mexico should be ap-
preached on this and asked for peI1nis-
sion for the county to stTaighten this
part of the river. and if he does not give
his permission the county could 90 ahead

stead of the American side. and IN a
short time the county Of FL PasO would
extend to the Mexican foothills. as the
river would surely change its course IN
that direction.
