SAN BENITO. April 23-Arrest Is
believed near for the hit-and-run
driver who Saturday night ran into
a car full Of Mexicans near San
Benito. The crash resulted IN a
broken ankle for one Of the Meyi-
cans. other bruises for him and still
more for his companions. The dri-
G Of the car causing the wreck
escaped, leaving his machine be-
hind.
I'VE are sure we will capture the
man responsible for the crash. Y
Judge Valdetero said Tuesday. ~and
YOU can be just as certain little
mercy will be shown him. Condi
tons on the highway have improved
since the advent OF the state high
way patr0lmen but that does not
mean that this office will be any
more lenient. The man who strikes
another car with his own is the
most dangerous OF all drivers, es-
pecially when he happens TO be
drunk"

He was questioned as 10 the
ways Of putting on this improve
ment, and he said that there were
three ways possible.
First. we may levy the full rs
cent permanent improvement tax
and build the Jail in one year. but
this can not be done and keep our
rate at Sl.50. In my knowledge.
Cameron county has never levied
the full Is cent tax.
Second, We may issue time war
rants. levying q small tax against
the permanent improvement fund
for the interest and sinking fund on
said warrants. However. every mem
Der OF the court hates the name OF
time warrants. as you pay 6 per
cent for money that through bonds
you can borrow mt 5 per cent. It is
likely that this way may be the less
evil way Of financing the project.
Third, we could put on a bond
issue that would only require a
majority vote"
Insane Placed In Jail
AS to the third manner in rails
ing the funds. Judge Dancy dis
closed that 1t would cost from
$1,000 to $500 to hold an cleo
ton, and that the warrant issue
might be cheaper.
He said that during bis regime
a story had been added
to the jail, but that the present
foundations would not allow the adj
