Judge Adrian Pool Awaken

Texas in Road.

Adrian Pool. former county judge,
father" OF the Fort Worth-El Paso
highway plan, is now urging high
way from Houston. through san Anto-
Mo 20 Fl Psso- Mondays Houston
Post prints the following regarding the
proposed road:
That Houston and san Antonio are
already losing thousands Of auto tour
lists annually because they arc not
connected with the Pacific coast by
way OF r Paso, which is AT present
the eastern terminus of road con-
nectlhs Win the west coast and that
IL BaSO stands ready TO furnish mOneE

VIII mean that all tourists moving from
the east coast to the west coast viii
pass over that route-unless Houston
and san Antonio get busy and cooper
ate with FL Paso for far southern
route" said judge Pool.
7 can't see why Houston and san
Antonio DO not take their share of the
tourist trade. There is no question that
Houston and san Antonio would prove
more attractive than Dallas and Fort
Worth. because route through Hous-
ton and san Antonio to FL Paso would
be open 10 travel u months in the
year. As II is now. the northern route
is closed part Of the time because of
the cold.
Wouldn't BE Expensive Enterprise.
From san Antonio TO FL Paso the
road is a natural road. and the expense
OF building all the way from Houston
10 FL Paso should not be such a great
