Prices recovered 4 to 6 points on

Precinct Would Have
Almost $4,000 To
Build Boca Chica
Road, Dancy Says

The Brownsville precinct will re-
ceiyc approximately S~l,300.000 from
the S4.00O,000 in bonds remaining ! n
the $4,000. 900 issue. according 10 an
estimate by County Judge Oscar
Dancy.
There Is no desire on the part of
myself or the commissioners court
TO dodge the spirit or letter Of the
dcsignation made by the road COM
mittce. and we are carrying out the
designation in what ! term the full
spirit. lust as rapidly rs efficient

judge said.
Paving the military road "a miles
should not cost quite S25O,000 and
paving the Southwest read should
not exceed 100000 and the road TO
the Puente Guadalupe will cost
around $4,000. This makes $780,
600, covering all the roads in Group
.. and leaves 100000 to pave the
Boca Chiea road. This road is 16
miles in length and should not cost
over $4,000. This would leave ap-
proximately 100000 for other work.

Group 3, except Fourteenth street
extension. This is an alternate road
"a the old Point Isabel road to the

could pave this road and still have

the first paved road finished and
opened under the 5000, 600 program.
There have been delays on the
Boca Chica end of the road, much Of
the relocation work having been
done at the special request OF one
of the plaintiffs in the injunction

not ready for advertisement for bids
until the letting Of our second con-
tract on September s. This contract
was let just as the grading OF the
Southern Pacific was completed, thus
enabling US to get a contract some
$4,000 better than we expected, and
also enabled the contractor 10 secure
