No one in the Valley or out of the Val

TO MEXICO CITY BY HIGHWAY

II II when one considers the actual
figures Of the distance to Mexico City
from various points in the United States
that one becomes thoroughly convinced OF
the advantages offered to tourists of com
ing into Mexico via Houston and Browns
ville-when the Kennedy county road link
and the Matamoros to Victoria highway
are completed.
All of us are for those two roads,
perhaps too few of us realize the sound
reasons for our espousal Of their construc-
ton.
Consider the distance to Mexico City by
road via San Antonio and Laredo as COM
pared to the distance to Mexico City via
Houston and Brownsville.
From Houston to Mexico City, by way
of Brownsville Matamoros, is 981 miles.
From Houston to Mexico City, by way Of
Laredo, is 1928 miles, a saving for the
Valley route Of LAT miles, to which may
be added so more miles of saving when
the Kennedy county road is opened.
From Albany, New York, via Houston
Brownsville atamoros- Victoria, is 2S45
miles. Via San Antonio-Laredo, the dis
lance j. 1888 miles, a saving for the local
route of SO miles, to which again we may
add so miles provisional on the Kennedy
county road construction.
From Baltimore, ceming our way, the
distance il 1869 miles. Going the San
Antonio-Laredo route will cost the tourist
just exactly 131 miles. with that same 80
miles to be added to the saving for the
Kennedy county road.
Or from Cincinnati TO Mexico City, by
way of on-Brownsville- Matamoros-
Victoria, the tourist will travel 2134 miles
rs opposed to 1923 miles the long way
round, with that so mile Kennedy county
saving still to be added.
Coming BY way of Houston and Browns
vile saves the party from st. Louis a cold
104 miles, with that so mile saving not
counted in; while the party from Memphis
saves 80 miles. still not counting the 80 mile
Kennedy saving.
And from Indianapolis the tourist saves
80 miles coming through Houston to
Brownsville to Victoria.
And then consider the mar from Chica.
60 going to Mexico City. If he comes by
way of Houston and Brownsville, he ira
wells 1856 miles to Mexico City. If he goes
through San Acknowledgment, he travels
221S miles, or 432 miles additional, with
