OLMTTO WANTS
HIGHWAY WORK
Committee Appears Before
Commissioners Here
To Seek Action

Assurances that the 3 IL mile
dirt road connecting Olmito with
the Military highway would be
constructed Scon we're given a COM
mittee Of Is representing the Olmito
Community club at a meeting OF
the Cameron County commission
erS' court here Monday.
Delay In construction OF the de-
kgnated road, the committee was
told, was due to fact that con-
domination service had not been 90
tanned on III. JoSey.o Of San Antonio,
who holds an interest In part OF the
lEnd being condemned for right-of-
way. The court assured the Olmito
group that efforts would be re-
doubled In clearing up the right-of-
way.
The Olmito committee, headed BY
J. T. Parker, made 1t clear that IL
expected immediate action In fin
lShing the r~ight-of-way and begin
ming construction OF the road.
Spokesman for the Olmito group
stated they had been after the short
connecting road for q number Of
years. The road would directly con-
nee Olmito. which has a large can
nii.g plant. with the rich agricul-
tu-al section along the Milita-y
highway. Construction OF the 3 Ia
mile road will place Olmito and this
agricultural territory nine miles
nearer one another. spokesman for
the committee asserted. One now has
10 come almost into Brownsville in
order TO make the trip.
About one third Of the road Is
passable at present, and only about
two miles viii have &c be built. Most
Of the road is In the Brownsville
commissioners precinct, but Com
missioner Grover Welkel Of the Port
Isabel precinct has agreed to share
In costs Of the road. Olmito proper
Is IN his precinct.
The questions OF continuing the
preventive health unit and the posi-
ton OF assistant district attorney
