WILLACY CO.
TO GET ONLY
FLOOD WATER
State Board Assures
Present Dis tricts
Prior Rights Will
Be Protected

SAN BENITO, Feb. 13.-Present
Valley water district have been as
sured of prior rights to waters of
the Rio Grande, flood waters only
may be used by new districts, &C
cording 20 word brought back from
Austin today by Frank Robertson,
manager OF the San Benito Water
District and representative OF the
associated districts.
Robertson together with W. l..
Anderson, engineer, went TO Austin
TO oppose granting Of permit to the
newly formed Willacy County lrrl-
cation District. The State Board OF
Water Engineers informed the Val
lev men, that while a permit would
be granted the new district as soon
as IL was validated by the legisla-
ture, the present districts would be
protected.
Assurance was given that in the
perriit 70 the district q provision
would be inserted declaring that
Willacy county only could use flood
waters of the Rio Grande.
This declaration of the state board
is said TO be highly satisfactory and
possible court action planned TO
avert any use Of other than flood
waters OF the river. that had been
anticipated now will not be taken,
il is understood.
However, 20 be on the safe side,
said Robertson, protest was filed
with the state board. protesting
against granting of any permit to
new district that might injure the
present Valley water districts. At
torneys for the districts are OF the
belief that with the clause in the
permit specified by the state board
and with the protest filed, the pres
ent districts need not fear any
harmful action.
While no action legally is planned,
the Valley districts will watch the
declaration TO he filed by the Will
lacy county district TO be certain
use of other than flood waters OF
the river is not contemplated, Rob-
artunu said

SO far as the post office is con-

The writer of this column the
other day opined that its new loea-

Valley fans for the first time.
At least one Valley fan already
has been enjoying its programs.
s. L. Gill Of Raymondville writes:

other source Of amusement.
For many months a sound closely
resembling the noise of an East
Texas sawmill working on a knotty
pine log has been tho easiest thing
to tune in on local sets; and the
past few days II has been even
worse.
Fans have sought the source Of
the trouble and have presented a
petition to the city commission for
an ordinance which would force the
elimination of static at known
sources.
The governing body has promised
cooperation. In the meantime, deal
ers in radio are practically out of
business as it is impossible to DEM
onstrate the quality Of their wares
when static, of the man-made sort,
browns out the most powerful sta
tions on the air.
