Harlingen Favors Fill
ing Gap in Kennedy
County

HARLINGEN, Nov. 1s.-FolIowing
the announcement by Judge w. o.
Huggins, Houston. President Of the
Hug-the-Coast Highway. that the pro-
ject had been financed In every coun-
~ between the Valley and Houston
with the exception of Kenndy county,
the board Of directors OF the Harlin-
gen Chamber Of Commerce passed a
resolution pledging the assistance Of
the local Chamber in Fastening the
filling of that gap.
Notice to this effect was sent to
the chambers of commerce Of Ray
mondville and Kingsville.
Officials Of the Harlingen Cham
Der were influenced in their decision
also by the action Of the State High
way commission last Monday when
$3.50 aid was granted for grading,
drainage and structures on the eight
mile stretch north of Harlingen 20
the Willacy County line. While no
official cognizance was taken Of the
five-county district plan suggested In
some quarters for the purpose of is
suing bonds to construct the so or
more miles of paving in Kennedy
county, II Is believed such q plan
WOULD meet with favor here inasmuch
as the burden would be distributed
over such a large territory that it
would be negligible to any one sec
tion, IL was said.
