BOND issue In
HIDALCO CO.
FAILSTOCARRY
Strong Opposition Developed
in Many Precincts Is Shown
by Returns. May Be Re-
submitted in Spring.

McALLEN. Texas, Aug. Ii.--The pro-
position to issue flood control bonds
in the amount CT $2.600.000, was de-
cisively defeated by the voters yester-
day, many Of the largest precincts re-
turning overwhelming majorities
against the proposition. and late last
night, when returns had been received
from seven OF the largest precincts.
showing a majority Of over 600 against
the bond issue, IL was evident the solid
vote Of the remaining precincts
would be insufficient to give the pro-
position the necessary two-thirds mai
ority.
The bond issue was proposed for the
purpose Of raising funds fo- flood con-
troll under the tax remission bill pass
ca BY the last legislature. remitting
the state taxes OF Hidalro county for
a period Of twenty-five years. provid-
ing the county issued bonds in the
amount Of taxes and making provisions
for the interest and sinking funds. The
county was given until October 4, 1924.
70 vote the bonds.
Opponents Of the measure based their
opposition principally upon the fact
that no definite plan for the expendi-
ture Of the fund has been accepted. and
contended that the flood control work
should be under the supervision Of the
U. s. Reclamation Service. They nLc
| objected upon the ground that no or
ganization Of reclamation district had
been perfected. and that il would be i'm
possible for Hidalgo county to accom-
plish flood control without the coopera.
tion cf Cameron and Willacy counties.
Many cf those who opposed the bora
issue NJ this election have stated that
they will support a bond issue rs soon
as a definite program Is outlined and
accepted and the work placed under the
supervision OF the reclamation service
II Is expected that another election
will be called in few months to secure
an expression fro mthe Hidalgo county
, electorate.
Following are the unofficial returns
from eight Of the principal precincts
Of the rounty.
