IN LbBBONk NODNI1, way up
in northwest Texas. they refused 20
vote road bond issue of S2,0000l0
the ether day.
Indicating that the far West Texas
folks are not as enthusiastic about
road bonds as arc folks in other
parts of Texas, say down here IN
III the Valley.

from Cameron county, permitting
leach commissioners precinct 70 Sc

If the county voted those bonds, a
certain company would build 2 dairy
products plant 70 cost not under
100000.

they would get creameries IL they
built hard surfaced roads.

he himself may eventually prosper.
And the businessmen, tho banks
and industries must HELM the farm
