VALLEY

FTER ALL. why argue, at this
= time over the matter of voting
road bonds?
Judge Dancy, in statement IN
The Herald Sunday, pointed out that
il the III Jardin, Los Fresnos and
La Feria water districts vote bonds
for drainage under their present
plan Of organization, it will be pos
sibie to issue any considerable
esnount Of road bonds for some time
% come.
This matter Of drainage is really
of more Importance than road bonds.
II the soii becomes unproduetive,
there will be no need OF roads. The
farmers must be given every oppor-
tunity to protect their investments.
The lanus must be drained.
After that Is taken care Of, roads
may be built.
Ia the meantime, The Herald is
for the four key road projects, and
system OF feeder roads to serve
every possible farm community IN
the county.
II Is for the Barreda-P Point Isabel.
At is for the extension Of the state
highway from its present terminus
north to the Willacy county line.
Ii is for a road through III Jardin,
and from the east end of III Jardin
TO the beach at Boca Chica.
1t is for highway along the riv-
II TO connect with the proposed Hi
'slgo county road to the Cameron
inty line, near Santa Maria.
iProsperity follows good roads
paved streets"
.ptil the Archer county road bond
as is Strengthened out, however.
'ue for road purposes.
= special session of the legislature
! TO adjust that matter is not likely
until after the primary elections,
which means sometime in September,
or even later.
III The attorney generals department
GHost likely would not approve road
,bends at this time, and If he did.
bond buyers would use the Archer
county matter as hammer TO beat
down the price for the issue, which
would mean heavy loss to the
county.
Brownsville is soon to have mod
ern bus line transportation.
The Brownsville Transit Company,
following franchise granted by the
city commission, has purchased two
splendid busses direct from the fac
tory. They have arrived.
Operations are expected to begin
on June 1.
10 enter, easy to leave; safe to ride,
and will fill real need in the every
day life Of the citizens of Browns
vile.
Ii is inevitable that the city
eventually will have to establish a
parking time limit in the business
district. That will cause business
and professional men to leave their
.ars at home. They will use the
'usses. Women, coming into town
or one reason or another, will find
more convenient to use the
asses than to spend long sine
ounding the blocks in search of a
lace to park.
The bus line operation is in hands
shich realize the Importance Of
line schedules, insuring dependable
service-an important element in the
success Of all transportation.
Interest in statewide politics
tomises to begin showing up in the
Alley during the present week.
The opener comes tonight, with
iouncement by Dan Moody sup
tiers that a countrywide meeting
his behalf will be held in the
lnty courthouse in Brownsville to-
ight at 8 o'clock.
Lynch Davidson arrives in the
alley Wednesday for a stay of sew
eral days.
There are something like $4,000
voters in Cameron and Hidalgo coun-
ties, and their number makes them
very much worth going after.
Anyway, it's to be Jim Dan-Ds
