kennedy COUNTY
HIGHWAY ASKED
State Is Urged to Designate
Road Through This
Section Of County

The designation OF the road
through Kennedy county as a state
highway has been requested by
Judge H. L. Yates. president of the
local chamber of commerce, it was
disclosed Wednesday.
Judge Yates explained that the
Hug-the-C Coast highway would be OF
inestimable value TO this section
Of Texas, and that as the Kennedy
county citizens were unable 10 ade-
quately construct a cement high
way through their section, the state
should do the work.
The Brownsville Chamber Of
Commerce has investigated the pos
Sibilities Of the Hug-the-CoaS
highway. without doubt this high
way will prove greatly beneficial 70
the entire coast country, and TO the
Lower Rio Grande Valley" Judge
Yates said In his letter to the State
Highway Commission.
I'VE understand that one OF the
serious objections to its immediate
construction Is the fact that Ken
edy couny Is not in any position TO
cooperate to the fullest extent Gus
tomary in roads of this character.
1t is VI opinion that the economic
value to the state as a whole and
to counties in particular. renders 1t
imperative that the state highway
commission designate the road
through Kennedy county as a state
highway and supply necessary aid
in It's construction.
This should be done at the earli-
est possible moment, in order that
the benefit may accrue as early as
possible" he concluded.
