Propose Issue to Com
plete County Highway

The board Of county commissioners

scented hy taxpaycrs. called an election

for the purpose of completing the con-
crete highway across the county.
/ The bonds will ~ voted under Chapter
II. Title Is of the bonding laws OF the
state, which under present valuations,
allow the county 20 issue as much as
S5o0.oOO for road purposes. The issue
will replace the issue voted on January
II last, amounting to 100000, but of
which the county, because Of the limits
allowed IN the law under which the issue
was put through. Chapter ]. could issue
for sale only Si20,0O0, which is already
under contract TO sell.
The decision 10 call the election was
made during conference Of county
and town officials OF brownsville San
Benito. Harlingcn and LaFcria, at Har-
liugcn yesterday. II was pointed out
that under the present bonds now in
hand IL might require years 10 reach
the valuations that would allow the IS
suancc Tor sale OF the 100000 in bonds
voted under Chapter |, thus delaying the
work. while under Chapter III, a. now
contemplated the bonds may be voted
and sold Immediately. as was done in the

plan I'D order "a facilitate the construc-
ton Of the road
Estimates were that the remainder Of
20-ol miles 20 bc financed and built will
cost, under present railroad rates. about
$t35,000, and that the issue Of S35O,0O0,
with state aid and perhaps an additional
amount of about $5o.000 from the former
bond issue. viii complete the project
from Brownsville to the lIidalgo county
