object of the meeting was to get the
designation of a highway, to connect
the hard surface road at Completion
with the highway at Kennedy. thereby
completing hard surface road from
San Antonio TO Corpus Christi. Fail
ure TO take active steps toward COM
pleting the road from San Antonio to
Kennedy along the Sap, has led the
citizens from Kennedy south to try and
get an outlet by diyefting the road at
Remedy through Atasacosa county and
connect at Completion with the main
highway into San Antonio. Judge
McCrory, ID. Il. Colp and various
other delegates addressed the meeting
and much enthusiasm was shown,
which no doubt will result in this
road being built.
