CONCRETE IS
MILES OF CANALS

This character of soil requires
concrete bitches before the drain
age conditions are corrected. The
Victoria clay loan becomes a
tighter soil. and in a large number
OF cases. requires both concrete
canals and drainage bitches. The
Harrington clay Is a heavy soil. This
type requires only drainage. Har-
lingen clay has a poor natural
drainage.
The greater part OF the Victoria
fine sandy loan lies north Of Wes-
laco with a small portion south Of
that city and between Weslaco and
Mercedes in a tract known as the
South Palm Gardens.
After a careful study OF the
soils. both through maps and test
borings, we decided to concrete. as
far as possible. the canals which
were in the Victoria fine sandy
loan and In the Victoria fine sandy
clay loan. and 10 construct drain
2 bitches through part OF this
district which had the Victoria
clay loan and Harlingen clay. and
on this basis the work started.
I'm January. 1880 the district had
available $780, 900 10 be used for
construction purposes. Contracts
were let for guniting canals shortly
after the first OF January. -Four
Bucyrus dragline dredges were
purchased and set to work excavat-
ing new drainage bitches and
cleaning existing ones.
with this money was construct
ed IS miles of gunited canals and
l04 miles OF drainage bitches. Five
and one-half miles Of concrete pipe
were laid. We expended $3.50, 500 In
gunite lining and structuNrs:
sl00,375 In drainage bitches; S38.2 $50
for pipe lines and s65.0O0 in the
purchase OF draglines. The gunite
work is completed IS far as possible.
Two drag line dredges are still in
operation. The district has $50

The meeting was one Of the largest
In the history of the Parent-Teacher
Association. Mrs. E. G. Walser presided.
In view of the interest shown by ia
theirs who attended it was decided to
increase the number of meetings during
the school year from four to six. alter
mating night with afternoon meetings.
Paul Benjamin, executive secretary
of the Social Hygiene Society of the
District of Columbia, the guest speak
err, made an informal talk on the re-
lationship of parents and children
relative to sex education.
Mrs. Robert Insley, who has made a
survey of lunch rooms in schools in
Washington and the adjacent terri
tory, sponsored motion to employ a
dietitian at SIS a week to conduct a
lunch room in the new school build
ing. Profits of the lunch room, she
suggested, should go toward the work
of the Parent Teacher Association.
This motion was adopted unanimously.
