Fresnos People Peti-
ton Against Navi-
CATION District

Opposition to both the San Be-
nito and Arroyo Colorado (Hariin-
gem proposed navigation districts
looms with hearing on the San Be-
nito project scheduled before the
Cameron County Commissioners court
here Thursday morning.
Virtually all land owners south Of
the Fresnos resaca in Los Fresnos
community are signers of a protet
filed with the Commissioners Court
against being included in the pro-
posed San Benito district

test n being circulated north OF the
resaca In this community and that
landed interests In the proposed
Arroyo Colaroda district are pre-
pairing TO fight its creation al the
election which has been called for
Wednesday, July 2T
Objections OF the Fresnos resi-
dents south of the resaca are based
on their belief that they will not be
benefited BY the proposed naviga-
ton canal to Laguna Madre and the
fact that they will be compelled to
pay taxes when bonds are voted By
the district they states. They do not
oppose the formation Of navigation
district but do not wish to be i'm
cluded in il.
County Judge Oscar G. Dancy says
that the Commissioners Court has
the power. at its hearing Thursday
TO change the boundaries Of the pro-
posed district if il chooses to do 50
before calling an election.
Large landed interests north of
the Fresnos resaca are reported 10
be against inclusion also but their

The financial condition in San
Antonio has been changed materially
in the past year and the banks ol
that city now have greater amount
