DRAIN WATER
PERMIT ASKED
Application Goes Before
State Board of Water
Engineers Monday

Application for a permit to utilize
drainage waters and such additional
water as may be necessary from the
Rio Grande to irrigate approximate
" 1000 acres in the coastal area
of Cameron county, was submitted
to the state board of water engin-
GERS at Austin today by w. E. An
derson, San Benito engineer, rep
resenting Al Parker, owner Of the
acreage.
The lands affected lie in the eX-
IRENE northeastern part of Cameron
county south of the mouth of the
Arroyo Colorado and east of the
Laguna Atascosa, and border on
the Leguna Madre. The acreage is
in the form Of a peninsula with
water on three sides.
Irrigation supplies will be drawn
from the Laguna AtaScosa which
has been transformed into a huge
reservoir receiving the drainage
from practically all the central Sec
ton of Cameron county. A levee

the laguna into the Cayo Atascosa

huge fresh water lake and prevents
ingreSS of salt water from the La
guna Madre during storm periods.
Development of the acreage has
been underway the past two years.
A complete system Of highways has
been constructed, and with the in
stallation of an irrigation system
a large part of the area is expected
to be brought into production. Part
of the acreage is reSaca land, formed
by the Cuates resaca which connects
with the Laguna Madre near the
center of the tract to be developed.
Practically the entire area is high
and well drained, the surface Watei
draining into the Atascosa on the
west or the Laguna Madre on the
east. Its coast line consists of a
number Of high promitories jutting
into the Laguna Madre, forming a
series of building sites Of great
beauty.
The graded road system connects
with the county'S highway system
at two points. one at the north end
of Laguna Atascosa, and the other
with the Box ranch road which con-
meets with highway No. 100.

Insurance Action

A verdict for $1,000 was return

in the case Of Mrs. Ethel Lloyd OF
Rio Hondo against the Southland
Life Insurance company, which was
contesting payment of a $1,000 pol
icy on TIN life Of Mrs. Lloyd's hus-

lieved to have been lighting a CT
gar when the shotgun was dis
charged. He was dead when found.
Two other insurance companies

a double indemnity in case Of death
by accident, and this with the II
per cent penalty for delay in pay
ment, brought the total to S11, 200.
