INJUNCTION
IS GIVEN TO
R. ]. KLEBERC
Owner Of Ranch Says
Commissioners Held
Hearing Without
Notifying Him

The struggle by the commission
ers' court of Willacy county for
road through King ranch to Red
Fish bay was heightened Thursday
as a result Of Judge A. M. Kents
action in granting temporary in
junction restraining the court from
building road over or through
property owned by r. J. Kleberg.
Sr., one of the owners of the King
ranch.
The petition was granted on the
grounds that the court, in recently
appointing a Jury of appraisers to
lay out the road and assess the
damages therefor, acted without
jurisdiction in that no legal notice
was given to the plaintiff, r. j..
Kleberg, Sr.. as to a hearing, be-
fore the defendants, as to laying
out of the road as provided by the
laws of the state.
The petition further alleges that
since the defendants have attempt
ed to deprive the plaintiff of his
property without due process OF
law. he has been deprived of the
rights given to him under the con-
stitution of the United States and
the state of Texas; that no public
necessity for the road existed in
that a public road from Lyford in
the county to point near the Ar
royo Colorado, already exists.
Further allegations were: that
the road the court attempted to
open is primarily to allow access to
the shores Of Laguna Madre and
that there are no citizens located
upon the lands of Share 64 of the
San Juan &c Carricitos Grant in
Willacy county who have petitioned
the defendants for road Of any
kind; that there being already a
road affording access to Laguna Ma
DIRE. there is no need for another;
that Willacy county alraedy has
obligated itself to pay various ano
sundry obligations for the construc-
ton of roads and that the obliga-
tions can not be met without ar
additional levy or increase in taxes
on the citizens and property own
ers of the county: that the con-
demned road was. laid out against
the wishes of the majority of the
people in the county.
