norther nparts of the county assure
good road connections for large areas
which now Esve very unsatisfactory
outlets. One OF the most important
Of these Is the Rangerville road from
Highway No. IL near the Arroyo
Colorado bridge southwark to the
rapidly developing Rangerville CON-
munity. This road will be 6.3 miles
in length, and will assure excellent
connections for a arge area.
Two projects in which the La Feria
and Santa Maria sections are greatly
interested are the Blue Town road
from the Arroyo Colorado bridge
south Of La Feria to the military
highway, a distance Of 4 miles, and
the improvement Of the military road
from Blue Town, through Santa
Maria, TO the Hidalgo county line,
where Hidalgo county or the Mer-
cedes road district proposes to con
meet with a paved highway into Mcr-
cedes.
In the Harlingen district several
short feeder roads are being graded,
including Palmetal Boulevard from
Harrington eastward 2.6 miles, the
Grimes road extending from the Har-
~lingen-Rio Hondo highway eastward
2.6 miles, and the Briggs road, ex-
tending ~northward from the Harlin-
gen-Rio Hondo road &c miles.
Three additional outlets for the
Wilson Tract, lying northwest Of
Harrington, were also included in the
grading contracts. One Of these will
extend from the paved highway north
or Harlingen TO the Wilson Tract
School, q distance Of 2.6 miles, and
another will extend from the Stuart
Place school northward to the south
line OF the Wilson tract, 2-3 miles
These viii be supplemented by n road
extending from the north HaElinren
pavement westward along the south
line Of the Wilson tract 10 what IL
known Us the Beheimer corner and
thence northward 20 the Wilson
Tract school, q distance Of approx
mately SIS miles
Other projects included In the
grading contracts are the old Point
Isabel road from the Brownsville city
limits 70 Ford's corner, approximate
" 3.S miles. the Dillworth crossing
road. near la Feria, extending from
the Vail Y highway 20 the Arroyo. a
distance OF 2.5 miles. and the Boca
chica road east from I'll Jardin, l6
miles.
IFS Miles Being Improved.
These projects make q total Of i2s
miles, OF which approximately So
niles are being paved under the first
contracts. OF the 30 miles upon
which grading il now underway ap-
proximately so miles will probably
Dc designated for paving within q
few months, and q small part OF
the mileage will probably not be
designated under the present bond
issue.
These projects will require APP
prcximately as per tent Of Me total
to be expended BY the county In high
way improvement. and with the ex-
ception az the Brownsville precinct.
where designations were made prior
to the bond election. there has been
a tendency TO withhold further desie-
nations until they could note the
trend az development and definitely
ascertain which highways would
serve the greatest number or be Of
~~rcatcst benefit 20 the communities
hey are designed TO serve.
