VALLEY

COUNTY JUDGE Oscar c. Dsncy.
chairman Of the Cameron County
sommissioners' court, has been re-
insa IN an advisory capacity by
'he "eslaeo road district.
Inc Weslaeo district has been
sa'norlzed by the legislature, and
plans to call an election for the pur-
pose of passing on n road bond issue
wanted the assistance Of the Cam
efon county man whose fame as a
road builder has spread far beyond
fne confines of this county.
some time ago friends Of Judge
Daney, taking note Of his initials
and his road building material char
asteristies, averred that the 30. O."
~ MS name must surely stand for
Only Concrete"
j one needs only to note the type of
material used in the building of
highways in Cameron county to be
impressed with the fact that the
soonkuet was earned.
hidalgo county road district No.
!, which includes the Mercedes-Ed-
inourg section, and is separate from
the Weslaco district, is considering
calling an election to vote on a
A.oO0.o00 road bond issue for that
district alone.
The Weslaco district has not yet
] announced the amount Il proposes
/ to vote upon.
WILL MATAMOROS have a tele-
phone exchange very soon?
And why not?
The Mexican Telegraph & Tele-
phone Company Is rapidly installing
telephone exchanges in various Mex
lean cities.
Thursday long distance service
was made possible between the Unit
ed States and Mexico. II is now
possible to talk from Brownsville to
Monterrey, Mexico City and other
points. Lines via Laredo.
Long distance service certainly
will be extended soon from Monter-
rey to Matamoros, or perhaps from
Victoria to Matamoros.
When that happens local service
win doubtless be made possible.
With local service possible in Mat
amoros, no doubt n line or lines
would be stretched across the Rio
Grande to Brownsville.
There is a real demand for tele-
phone connection between Browns
4 vile and Matamoros.
The Herald. itself, would be one
/ Of many such customers.
Let's pull for telephone service in
Matamoros and connection with Mat
nmoros.
WHAT'S BECOME Of proposals
A for a better mail service for the
" Valley towns?
The Herald some weeks ago sug-
Eested that II the branch line train
could not be restored, then a move
nent might be started looking 20
he establishment of at least one
FOUND trip bus mail service daily
or the benefit Of inter-city mail in
he Valley.
M It's a real hardship on business in
8he valley. this present mail service.
Nail a letter 10 Mission today. II
eaves at 7:45 o'clock tonight. T.
1istributed and delivered some time
after q o'clock tomorrow in Mission.
An answer is mailed in Mission late
# tomorrow afternoon. II is dis
y tributed in Brownsville the following
" morning-the third day.
~ Mail service to Houston and San
Antonio, 375 and 325 miles away. re-
NJ spectively, is equal to or better
than mail service between Browns
lille and Mission, separated by 65
miles.
E Bus mail service is in use in many
sections of the country, serving sit
nations much like that in the Valley.
nj Perhaps the chambers Of COM
merce In the Valley could make some
sort Of a survey 70 determine the
Eamount Of mail now carried between
these cities. Add fifty per cent at
least for q double service. It's GER
tain to grow with better service.
N TWO MOTOR LOOPS will result
from road construction now under
Away in Cameron county.
3 One Of these loops is formed by
&the building of roads from Harlingen
&to Rio Hondo and from San Benito
Ia Rio Hondo.
Another motor loop is promised in
the construction OF the Paredes line
& road. from Brownsville 20 Highway
No. 100, and from Barreda to the
III pnredes line.
A nice "trip will then be possible
#fron Brownsville on up to the Point
r.abel road. round to Barreda, thence
N mack 10 Brownsville, or vice versa.
III COUNTY FARM AGENT Henry

a pouitry meetings in Cameron

with increased interest In poultry
r ,tere begins 20 arise the question Of
market for live poultry and for
II ergs.
The Valley at present Is eonsum-
;nr more eggs than II Is producing.

/ xerse that order.
Also. the Valley is great eonsum-
