AGREEMENT ON
ARROYO LIKELY
Government Interest Spurs
HarIingen to Hasten
Settlement
Especial to The Herald)

HARLINGEN, Aug. 8-vigorous
efforts will be made In Harlingen
the latter part Of this We and the
first Of next to unite the city on
some type of waterway down the
arroyo to the gulf.
Those watching the navigation
situation most closely have been
Epurred to action by the announce
ment by officials of the navigation
district that the government engi-
lleers viii hold a hearing in Harlin-
gen In the near future TO determine
what sort OF q waterway the people
want.
II Is now believed likely that a
mass meeting will be called when
the sentiment of citizens Of this city
viii be a~scertained by vote. The
sentiment Of the majority now ap-
pears to be for a nine-foot channel
which will be a part OF the intra-
coastal canal project, or one which
easily could be made q part Of II.
The text Of the statement issued
by the navigation district officials
follows:
ITO the Citizens of the Arroyo
Colorado Navigation District:
in O short time an investigation
of the Arroyo Colorado as a chan
mel to the Gulf win be made by the
government engineers to ascertain
through a hearing at Harrington.
Just what the people want as a
waterway and where II Is desired.
which survey was authorized in the
recent rivers and harbors bill.
"This survey will determine
through the engineers just what
cooperation or participation by the
government we may expect from
congress.
ut seems that there has been
some misunderstanding among some
of our citizens TO the effect that
this was another survey Of the In
tra-coastal canal from Corpus
Christi 10 Harrington and Port
Isabel.
While Is an investigation 1t Is
separate and apart from the survey
OF the In~tra-coastal canal, IL IS not
impossible that al least a part OF
this channel may at some future
time become a part Of the Intra-
coastal canal and by reason OF this
NAV become some inducement IN
the eyes Of the engineers 70 recon-
mend some form OF cooperation and
participation bv congress.
''The date of the hearing will be
made public through the district
engineers office at Galveston"
