Only one thing Is needed for the
Cameron county road program to
20 forward, and that Is "our will
ingness to get together and act"
County Judge o. G. Dancy told
members of the commissioners
court here this morning as he sub
mitted two proposed orders for
continuing the work.
The proposed orders. n Of
which he calls plan A and the
other plan B. would finance the
same roads but offer different plans
for financing the work.
Under plan A. the court would
issue 100000 of bonds from the
100000 voted by the citizens,
these bonds TO be known as series
+ and to be loaned TO the special
program. II agreeable to all men,
bers OF the commissioners court.
this loan would be repaid out OF
the last half million of the $6.000,-
600 issue. If all commissioners
would not agree to this. bonds
would be issued under the 15-cent
statute. either by vote OF the citi-
zens Of the county or a special act
Of the legislature. and the money
would be repaid from this issue.
Proposes Warrants
Under plan B, the court would
Issue funding warrants in blocks of
about 100000 each up to the $780,
600 required TO carry out the pro-
gram. These warrants later would
be repaid out OF the S6.000.0 900 is
sue. If agreeable to all commits
sioners. II the commissioners
would not agree to this the war
rants would be refinanced with
bonds issued under the 15-cent
statute. This would be done in
order to prevent the warrants from
reaching the open market and de-
pressing Cameron county securi-
ties.
Dancy proposes that Precinct No.
I, the Point Isabel precinct. be
given its proportionate part OF the
$50O,000, 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.
He proposes that about S250.000
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.
Protects RangervilIe
He would spend about $4,000 to
build the Harlingen to Rangerville
road and to extend 1t on the mill
tary road.
The remaining money from the
100000 issue would be divided be-
tween the Brownsville and Harlin-
gen precincts. He does not set out
the use 10 which this money would
be put. but it Is understood
Brownsville precincts portion would
20 to extend paving out the Boca
Chica road.
In a letter to the commissioners,
IN which he urged that some pro-
hAGAl ~ lCI COItl1lul1k
construction Of roads in the county,
Judge Dancy said:
I'VE can spend S500O00 more this
year on reads Of such Importance
that the expenditure OF said half
million will do this county more
good than any other whole million
we have spent so far"
Urges Accord
He calls attention to the fact
that he proposes to extend the
Rangerville road to the Military
road This would require about
two miles of paving. He explains
that the Harlingen water district
has not asked for this. but he pre-
fers 10 have the road built at one
time in order 10 prevent letting OF
q 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 IL
the commissioners insist.
II feel that we should set aside
