Petitions are being circulated
among organizations and citizens Of
Cameron County asking support of
a proposed countrywide road bond

sure completion Of the Rangerville
road and two gaps in the military
highway. The petition was written
by Judge II. L. Yates Of Browns
vile, at the request Of residents in
the districts affected, he said.
Valley chambers Of commerce have
received copies Of the petition for
their signature. The petition sets
out that the bond issue would give
justice to three communities in the
county which have always cheerfully
shouldered tax burdens, and which
so far have never been helped with
the bond moneys Of the county by
road construction"
The need Of the communities for
road Improvement is especially
pointed out in the petition in the
fact that they are productive in VAL
ley commodities and each shipping
season are subjected TO the severe
handicap Of muddy roads, with sub
sequent heavy cost Of moving pro-
duce.
such a road bond issue would not
increase the amount of taxes being
paid" Judge Yates said. THE fiji
teen cent bridge and road tax an
nually levied. assessed and collected
under Article g., section 9 Of the
state constitution, is used as a basis
Of credit for issuance of such bonds"
Brownsville should support the
bond issue, the petition sets forth,
for the reason that it would assure
a complete paved road from this
city to Mercedes.
