pressing Cameron county securi-
ties.
Dancy proposes that Precinct No
I, the Point Isabel precinct. be
given Its proportionate part on the
$500. 900. based on valuations and
that this money. which he estimates
would be about $4,000. be spent to
extend the Barreda-Point Isabel
road toward the coast.

Of the fund be spent to close the
two gaps in the military road be-
tween the line OF Precinct 2 and
Blue Town. These gaps would re-
quire about 10 miles Of construc-
ton.

road and to extend II on the mill
tary road.
The remaining money from the
$500. 900 issue would be divided be-
tween the Brownsville and Harlin-
gen precincts. He does not set out

million will do this county more
good than any other whole million

He calls attention 70 the fact
that he proposes 10 extend the
Rangerville road 10 the Military
road. This would require about
two miles ~ having He explains
that the Harrington water district
has not asked for this. but he pre-
fers 10 have the road built at n
time IN order TO prevent letting or
a contract later for the two mile
strip. Paving IL now would save
the county money. he believes. He
: explains that he would BE willing
TO omit this two mile contract If
the commissioners insist.
