Second Injunction Suit Is
Filed To Restrain
Road Work

The fight to prevent the Browns
vile commissioners precinct rom
expending money on the Military
highway until other designated
roads are constructed was renewed
here Wednesday when plaintiffs IN
the case filed an amended original
petition and bill for injunction.
Judge A. M. Kent set the hearing
on the bill for 8 a m. Saturday.
The judge recently dissolved a
temporary injunction, but the plain
tiffs have filed an amended petition.
The restraining order sought
would prevent the Brownsville com-
misSioners' precinct from contribu-
ting S63 .482.63 toward completion Of
gaps In the Military highway.
The plaintiffs allege that the pre-
cinct has not fulfilled obligations
contained In n court order setting
out the roads to be constructed IN
Precinct No. 2.
The first road named IS the
BroWnsville-Boc Chica highway nd
the second Is designated as from
Brownsville TO Port Isabel BY the
shortest practical connection from

The plaintiffs maintain this road
has not been bull. and that ne
precinct cannot aid IN construction
Of the Military highway until this
has been done.
They also state in the petition
that they had no notice or the
order dissolving the first temporary
injunction.

DANCY FORMS
OFFICE BUDGET
Amount Agreed For Fiscal
Year Less Than Former
Year Expenses

Operating expenses for the office
Of county judge Of Cameron county
for the fiscal year beginning Aug.
/, 1881 as agreed upon between
Judge Oscar c. Dancy and County
Auditor II. M. Shelton r s4O3 less
than the amount expended for tho
office in 1880 and $3.50 less than
the amounts proposed by Shelton
in his original budget figures, a
check OF records at the courthouse
revealed this morning.
The budget as submitted by
Shelton provided for the salary OF
Judge Dancy at $1,000, the same
amount as received in 1880. Other
proposals included the sums OF
$1,000 TO- clerk hire; $1,000 for
travelling expenses and $3.50 for
lunacy fees.
On the recommendation Of Judge
Dancy the clerk hire item was
raised 10 $1,000 for the coming
year. and the travelling expense
item cut from the $1,000 proposed
by Auditor Shelton TO S400 and the
lunacy fees from $3.50 to 500.
IN 1890 the salary stood at 5000.
and actual expenditures or the
county judges office included $1,000
for clerk hire. Sl095 for travelling
expense and slS for lunacy fees.
Several trips were made 10 the
east BY the judge in that year.
which accounts for the high travel
inr expense for the period.
Mr.. Shelton and ! are in alb
solute accord in the efforts being
made BY him as county auditor "a
cut down the expense or running
the county" Judge Dancy stated
this morning. There is no argu-
me . between us. To be sure. he
interprets the law to mean that
the maximum salary 70 which ]
am entitled as county Judge Is
$1,000. while I contend that $4,000
is the minimum and that $4,000 Is
the maximum. However, I have

that I do not intend TO ask FOL
the higher figure. and that state
