cussed the Near East situation and the
reparations question. They are UNDER

There seemed little likelihood that the

new HIGHWAY To
POINT ISABEL
WILL Be BUILT
Work to Start Immediately
to Clear Right Of Way from
Los Fresnos to Esocs juno
lion

The proposed highway from Los Frcs-
nos. connecting with the Brownsville
Point Isabel highway near Esoes june
tion on the Rio Grande railway will be
constructed in time TO accommodate the
summer travel TO the Point, according
to decision made by the county com
mlssioners' court this morning.
The new highway will greatly lessen
the distance between Los Frcsnos and
Point Isabel and give all residents OF
the Valley north of Los Fresnos and
San RenIto a direct connection with the
Valleys future seaport. The road from
Barfeda 10 Los Fresnos will be graded
and otherwise improved and as soon as
the new highway is completed upper
Valley residents will have an excellent
highway all the way to Point Isabel.
Clearing and grubbing the right of way
between Los Fresnos and the Browns
Vile highway will be started at once.
and as soon as tn is completed the
commissioners expect TO be able to
start some OF the county's graders on
the construction work. No bridges will
be necessary on the new highway. the
construction Of few culverts being
all that is required. A survey for the
highway was made by County Engineer
Washington last fall. and he reports
that the construction of the road will
be a very simple matter
will Help Upper Valley
In view of the assurance that a deep
water port will soon be completed at
Point Isabel the highway has become a
public necessity, as a large amount o..
traffic from the upper Valley by trucks
and automobiles is expected as soon as
the port j. opened. For many years the
old road from Los Frcsnos connecting
with the Brownsville at the Laguna
Madrc turn a. been used BY upper VAL
ley residents. but rs these trips to
Point Isabel were mostly pleasure trips.
there was no general demand for more
direct road.
The opening of the port, however,
will make u direct road necessary. and
upper Valley residents are fully appre-
ciative Of the value of the new high
way TO Valley Industries.
The road from Barreda to Los Fres-
nos will be graded, and the entire 122
miles Of highway from Barrcda TO tn.
ptini-~is~s~ the new hIgh~ay connects
with the Brownsville Point Isabel road
will bc graded and maintained in first
class condition.
