date Paving Puente
Guadalupe Road

A request that the road funds Of
the Brownsville precinct be pro-rat-
ed between the Military, Southwest
anc Puente Guadalupe roads, was
presented the commissioners court
Monday morning BY a delegation Of
about thirty residents Of FL Jardin
Heights and the Puente Guadalupe
section.
The request was refused by the
court upon the basis that the Puente
1uadalupe road will be the next one
paved after the Military and South
most roads are completed. and that
70 pro-rate the funds would result
IN snort contracts and serious loss
70 the county.
IN discussing with the committee

vile precinct. Judge o. c. Dancy
stated that If the Harrington and San
semitic water districts convert TO wa
ter control districts, contracts for

not onv the bonds will be sold in
January.

have sufficient funds from the third
million TO complete both the Mill
tary and Southwest roads, but viii
re able 70 finance the two projects.
IN event the districts convcrt and
audltional contracts are awarded in
september, h funds will be avail
aDie as soon as the contractors esti-
mates are indulge Dancy said.
sud-e Darcy stated that the rea-
son the Military and Southwest
roads were given preference over
the Fnente Guadalupe road is due
70 the fact that they serve to protect
the river levees and pumping plants.
and that any damage to either the
ieVees or river pumps would affect
the entire district.
Residents Of the Puente Guada-
lupe section stated that the road
would serve a greater population in
proportion to the mileage than
eitfer the Military or Southwest
roads.

with the boil weevil will not be con-
fined to any n section.
Cotton men are practically unani-
nous in asserting that present indica-
tions are that the Valley will produce
the heaviest cotton crop in its his
tory providing the rains ease. There

ficient cotton to assure heavy pro-
duction il weather conditions are

One Of the most notable features
II the uniformity Of the crop so far
y maturity is concerned. The dry,
unfavorable spring delayed germina-
ton of the seed, and there is little
difference noticeable between the ex-
tremely early and late paintings, indi-
eating that practically the entire Val
ley acreage will be opening at the

been ideal for the propagation Of boil

FERRIS TAKES SELF
OUT IN MICHIGAN

ate and Will Not Sup
port Smith.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. March Tn letter to
william A. Comstock. Democratic ma
tional committeeman, received today.
Senator Ferris declared that he would
not be a candidate for reelection 10
the office this Fall.
In the same letter Senator Ferris de-
clared he would not support Gov. Alfred
E. Smith for the Democratic nominal
ton, but instead would back Senator
Walsh of Montana.
The announcement by Senator Ferris
Is, according to Comstock, the first rlft
in the heretofore unbroken trend OF
Michigan Democrats toward the sup
port of Smith. It is regarded by sew
eral Detroit Democrats as serious OBJ
staclc to a solid Smith delegation from
Michigan at the Democratic convention
in Houston.
Comstock revealed that Senator Ferris
letter was in answer to one sent him by
Mr.. Comstock February 25 in which 1t
was suggested that Mr.. Ferris be named
temporary chairman of the Democratic
State convention at Port Huron on
Nav Q. The committeeman also asked
Ferris in his letter If he would be a
candidate for delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention at Houston
in June.
Comstock. in his letter, said that
Michigan Democrats are set on the
nomination of Alfred F.. Smith. He
also expressed the hope that the Michi-
gan delegation would go to the conven-
ton under the unit rule and unin-
structed.
Senator Ferris previously had de-
clined to discuss the subject of his
candidacy for Senator and his support
OF Gov Smith. The letter to Comstock
was the first notification of his decision
not to seek reelection.
