Dual Role Here

EDINBURG, Oct. 27.-One large
portion of South Texas will play a
dual role in the first annual conven-
tion Of the South Texas Chamber Of
Commerce. Leslie Neal, president OF
the Lower Rio Grande Valley Com
mercial Secretaries Association,

"The Valley will be both host and
guest at the convention" Neal ex-

assisting in the reception and en-
tertainment of visitors from the
other parts Of South Texas. the
great mass Of the Valley residents

COUNTY BUYS
BONDSOFR RIO
HONDO issue
Brings Total Secur-
tiles Purchased BY
County to Figure of
$4,000

The purchase by Cameron county
Of the $4,000 bond issue recently
voted by the city Of Rio Hondo for
sewer and other municipal improve
ments, will bring the total amount
OF Cameron county securities pur-
chased by Cameron county to $780,
500, according to the records Of the
county auditor, leaving in the vari-
Gus sinking funds only a few
thousand dollars which are not in
vested in securities paying a fair
rate of interest.
The Rio Hondo bonds, which bear
5 l-2 per cent interest, were bid in
by Cameron county &C par, and
will be paid for out Of the perm
anenr school, 1922 special road and
1922 road and bridge funds. These
funds IL kept in the county deposit
tories would draw 2.02 per cent.
County officials state that if they
were obliged to go onto the open
market and purchase bonds in which
to invest the sinking funds they
would probably be required 70 pay
q small premium for 5 per cent
bonds. As a rule the smaller cities
have some difficulty in getting par
for 5 liz per cent bonds, as was evil
denced by the fact that the bid of
Cameron county for the Rio Hondo
issue vas the highest.
THE purchase of the Rio Hondo
bonds merely exemplifies the fact
that it is always profitable for all
parties to cooperate" Judge Dancy
stated. Cameron county was seek
ing an investment for those funds
that would pay a better rate Of in
terest than the depository can af-
ford TO pay. We know that the Rio
Hondo bonds are 'gilt-edged,' and we
wanted Rio Hondo to get par for
the issue. II we had gone onto the
market for bonds we would have
been obliged TO pay par ard probably
a small premium for > per cent
bonds which would BE no better than
the Rio HOnio issue. As a result of
the county's bid Rio Hondo got a
I good price for her bonds and Cam
cron county gets a good rate Of in
terest on the funds invested in the
bonds. The commissioners court takes
the view that Il is far more prof
liable 70 do this than to permit out
side dollars to make q nice profit on
/ the handling of the bonds. Every
dollar OF that money will be retained
here in Cameron county and will be
used in developing Cameron county's
I resources"
Cameron county has over 500, 900
invested in the county's flood con-
troll bonds, and over $4,000 in tick
eradication warrants. The first Of
the flood control bonds will be due
in 1880. but none Of the tick eradica-
ton warrants are due until 1897. The
Rio Hondo bonds will mature serial
~ from 1929 to 1912.

s. MILES OF
PAVING GOING
. ON IN COUNTY
Will Be Ready for Use
BY February l If
Weather Favorable,
Says Dancy

approximately SO miles of Cam
eIon county's S6,000,0 900 paved high
way program will be open for traffic
Dy February /, If weather conditions
remain favorable, was the prediction
Dancy.
This will include the 7.6 miles be-
tween San Benito and Rio Hondo,
opened TO traffic this week, the high.
way through FL Jardin, SIS miles,
winch was completed Tuesday and
viii be open 70 traffic November IL;
the Harlingen-Rio Hondo highway,
Il miles, over half completed; the
barreda road through Los Fresnos
Highway No. 1909, which win be
paved for SIS miles and is now over
half completed; the Paroles Line
toad north from Brownsville 10
highway No. 100. los miles, on
which paving started Wednesday;
the highway from San Beuito 10 the
military road, 81 miles, on which
work will start in November, and
the La Feria-Santa Rosa highway, z
miles. on which paving will soon be
under way.
More Contracts
Contracts for paving Of additional
projects will probably be awarded
in January, County Judge Dancy
stated.
The Doods & Wedegartner paving
machine, which completed the high
way through FL Jardin Tuesday, has
been moved to the Barreda road and
will complete the three miles Of paw
ing from the Tandy corner to the
Valley highway. IL was the original
plan to move this machine onto the
highway from San Benito TO the
military road, but unavoidable de-
lay in construction Of structures
prevented. However, the San Benito
road will be in readiness for paving
by the time the Barreda road Is COM
pleted, which will probably be about
November -.
Pouring of concrete on the Paroles
Line road from Los F~resnos TO
Brownsville started Thursday, the
paving machine being located about
3 miles south of Los Fresnos. The
eastern end of the Barreda road was
completed Tuesday and the contract
ors viii use the same plant for paw
ing of the north end of the Paroles
Line project.
Expert More Records
A new record for 1S-foot paving Is
expected to be established on rae
Barreda road project, if weather
conditions remain favorable. Work
on this 6.5 miles began October Is,
and the contractors are confident
they can complete il by November
Is, IL not delayed by rains. This
will break all previous records in
the South for highway construction
of this type, it is stated.
The machine now working on the
Paroles Line road will be kept on
that job until completed. The road
parallels the Southern Pacific tracks,
reducing the haul Of materials 70 the
minimum, and If the present rate OF
construction is maintained the paw
ing will be completed before January
Il.
Completion Of the projects upon
which contracts have already been
let unde. the S6,000,0 900 program will
give Cameron county a total OF 80
miles Of concrete highways, the
greatest mileage OF concrete Of any
county in Texas.

to a shipping board debate.
AT p. m. yesterday the senate
obtained a quorum of more than as
members and Ashurst talked until
he was exhausted ON an amendment
he had offered striking out the pro.
vision for a $50 foot dam.
Unable to proceed, he called fol
a quorum on the vote and it was
| discovered that the necessary num-
Der was not present. The sergeant
at arms was sent scurrying out aft
er the missing members and the
senate sat in silence until after 6
q. IN.
AT $3.50 Senator Mayfield, Demo
crat, Texas, was doing coin tricks
On the floor for the edification and
amusement Of Senator Blease,
Democrat, North Carolina, and Goff,
republican, West Virginia, who
with Republican Leader Curtis,
Kansas, and Senator Hiram John
son, Republican, California, co-au-
thGr and leading proponent Of the
measure, were the. only ones in the
chamber.
Goff asked the chair how long the
senate must remain in session with
! only minority present. The pre-
SIDING officer replied Gas long as
there is only a minority present. -
Senator Bleasc moved that Lin
coin G. Andrews squad Of prohib
tlon agents be summoned to help
arrest the missing members. His
motion was laughed down.
! Goff then moved that the senate
adjourn and tho motion was carried
on yea and nay vote, but the
| Vlgllant johnson dashed into the
! chamber and called for a division
and had enough votes present to de.
! feat adjournment. The vote was l3
, to II.
Phipps said early in his speech
that he held stock Of corporations
which might have an interest in
Boulder Dam.
He said he owned securities in the
! Nevada and California Electric Cor
poration, which has three subsidi-
aries, the Southern Sierras Power
Company, the Imperial Valley com
pany and the Northern California
Power Company.
johnson pressed Phipps on the
point as to whether his personal in
t"rest would prevent him from vot-
ing, but Phipps said the stocks
would not influence his Judgment
concerning the bill.
After Phipps got off to a good
start, johnson retired from thu
! chamber for the first time in IL
hours, leaving Senator La Toilette
Republican, Wisconsin, on guard to
watch the filibusterers.
Both johnson and the opponents
of his bill sought nourishment and
rest after the long grind.
Only few senators were in the
chamber to hear Phipps talk.
J Several Ca;I .ornians remained in
the senate gallery all night. The

Company, and Ralph Criswell, Los

more than IL hours and Charles L.

mer state Senator William j. Carr
watched for the better part of tn,
night.
Il believe that private enterprise
will willingly undertake erection of
hydro-electric plants in the Colorado
river, said Phipps. "The best evi-
dence of that is the fact that sew
cral filings were made on the Colo
RADIO river by people backed with
ample funds, who would pay for the
construction of the dam structures
