The impression has been created in
Brownsville and some sections Of the
Valley that il will be necessary TO COM
plete all work on the Rio Grande rail-
way such as standardizing. building OF
terminals, etc. before dredging work Is
started on The channel. but the following
letter from Major L. NJ. Adams. district
engineer. shows conclusively that this Il
not a rfquirement:
Galveston Texas. Oct. p. 1922.
Mr.. ID. A. O'Brien,
Rio Grande Railway Company,
Brownsville. Texas.
at is understood that you have com
plcted your plans for changing the Rio
Grande railway to standard gauge and
TO furnish suitable terminal facilities at
Point Isabel. open to all on equal terms
These were conditions required in the
project document adopted by the River
and Harbor Act OF March =, 1919, for the
Improvement of Brazos Island Harbor
Texas.
THE project document further states
on page 3. that this work must be accom-
pished by local interests by the time
the channels are completed From this
IL would be inferred that the work OF
dredging the channel and turning basin
must begin many months before your
terminal construction. as IL will only
take you a matter of about two months
to complete your work whereas il will
probably be matter of months 10 do
the large amount Of dredging work in
this project. | would therefore call the
attention of those interested to the fact
that an additional condition in the pro
ject document is. that local Interests
will contribute sufficient funds to dredge
a channel l6 feet deep at mean low wa
ter and 100 feet wide on bottom from
deep water in Brazos Santiago Pass 10
the end of the wharf at Point lisa sel
with turning basin 500 feet square and
l6 feet deep at the wharf. and will pro.
vide for the necessary maintenance OF
said channel and basin: the estimated
cost of this channel to be paid for by To-
cal interests i found on page rs Of the
project document and places the sum
! at $4,000, which sum | can assure YOU
il no more than sufficient to accomplish
the work. II is my understanding that
a part Of this channel fund has not been
raised. Until this fund il raised and
deposited with the treasurer Of the
United States the authorities in Wash
ington cannot approve of this office be-
ginning the dredging Of the outer chan
mel to commence the project. However
this would not prevent the department
from approving in advance your own
plans for railway modification and ter
minal. and beginning and completing OF
construction at your risk. The federal
governments appropriation of s66.O0O
TO care for dredging the outer channel
still remains in the treasury"

ROAD WORK in HIDALGO
COUNTY TO START SOON

present program provides for covering
them with caliche. which not only will
protect the shoulders. but act N a con
filming curb for the surfacing. This job
is unique in many respects In fact the
highway department has nothing exactly
like it. In the words of the division en-
gincer Of the state highway department
and division engineer Of federal bureau
of roads. "as all material will have to he
hauled north from Edinburg. maximum
haul of 80 miles this job is one of some
magnitude. In general. we consider rhis
project in satisfactory condition"
All of the above road was and is being
constructed from the proceeds Of a war
rant issue. none of thesbond funds be-
ing used for this purpose.
In regard to other contemplated road
improvements it's planned to build n
high class paved road from Cameron
county line on the east to Starr county
line on the west. and from Pharr 10 Ed
inburg. On part of this road the plans
have ,aiready been approved by state
highway department and federal bureau
of roads. and work will be advertised
for bids to be received on November ~
1922. Actual construction work VII
start about 30 days later. The prepar-
ing Of plans for "A state and federal aid
project is job of no small dimensions.
Anyone should know in general way
that the government dispensed with
guesswork long time ago. and the min
utest detail must be shown on plans.
Bids will be received on several types of
roads and the best road for the least
| money is the one that will be accepted
All little questions in regard TO align

ber Of Cases to Come up at
Term; Will Last Six
Weeks

With the heaviest docket on record,
the November term Of the district civil
court convened this afternoon in the
district court room with Judge W. b.
Hopkins Of Corpus Christi presiding.
Many of the cases on the docket are
continued cases, some of them dating
back as much as ten yaars. A majority
Of the cases will be tried without "a jury.
However. the number Of jury cases is
exceedingly large for one term of court.

il is hoped by the court that all the cas-
es on the docket may be handled by
that time.
