Judge Dancy Suggests
Precincts Divide Road
Funds by New System
BROWNSVILLE— County Judge
Oscar Dancy Monday morning out-
lined a two-point program that he
asked the new commissioners court
to gne a three to six month try.
Main points were:
1. Divide road and bridge funds
among precints according to regis-
trations of motor vehicles and valu-
ations.
2. Let all county road main-
tenance be placed in the hands ol
the county engineer or an exper-
ienced road superintendent with
the labor to be prorated among the
precincts.
At the present time each pre-
cinct has its road gang then there
is a fifth countv-wide road gang.
The text of Judge Dancy s recom-
mendation follows:
To tne Incoming Court:
There are only three matters over
which county commissioners have
complete control to-wit:
1. Levee maintenance.
2. Care indigent sick etc
3 Road and bridge mainten-
ance.
Cooperation Needed
On everything else our success In
efficiency and economical govern-
ment depend* on the cooperation
or lack of cooperation of Federal.
State and other county officials.
I feel that by reason of IBC con-
tracts already let and in my opin-
ion to be let within the next thirty-
days that le.ee maintenance will
be cut from Its average of around
$20001 per year to perhaps half
that amount however the $20 000
per year has only been about half of
what should have been spent to in-
sure safety.
1 have hopes that under bills now
being prepared for introduction in
congress that our expenses for the
indigent sick will be at least shared
This leases the matter of road
and bridge maintenance which by-
reason of the amount of money-
spent and of the necessity OT hav-
ing a good rt«d system by far the
most important matter before the
court. An ounce of example is
worth a ton of preaching and our
handling of this monev will largely
pai-e the way for efficiency in other
matters.
There are three sources of road
and bridge maintenance funds to-
wn:
1. Fine* In criminal casea.
2 Income from taxation which
can't exceed 15 cent* per hundred
3 County s part of motor vehicle
fees
The Income from the first two
sources will be negligible The in-
come from motor vehicle license
fees average around $110000 per
vear and by reason of the fact that
last year <1937) we pledged and
used $aonno of this fund in order
to keep the tax rate down and
caused thu fund to be shot to
pieces.
Fund I sed On County
Going back Tor the past six year*
two years while Judge A W Cun-
ningham was presiding officers of
the court and four years while I
have been presiding officer we have
largely used this fund for general
maintenance and operation of the
county to keep the court house
open and wheels of county govern-
ment clicking In view of the fact
that every cent of our county and
road bond tax Is collected from
property when In fact It should be
lollerted from gas. etc. give* half
justification for this action. I feel
however that we should stop this
just as early as possible and m
view of this fact should economize
in every way me reasonably can.
Our motor vehicle tax is a return
on the investmer we make from
our property tax for concrete roads
Prior to Jan. 1st. 1933. we divided
the road and bridge maintenance
moneys according to the valuations
of such precincts. However the
other three precincts have helped
the Port Isabel precinct being Pre-
cinct No. 1. a great deal. This has
been on Initiative.
The Brownsville precinct spent
about sixty thousand dollars in that
precinct to g*t its paved road to
Los Fresno* and this the Browns-
ville precinct aopether with the
San Benito and Harlingen precinct
put up most of the money put up by
the county for the road from Bar-
ieda to Port Isabel that is for
paving etc I still think the other
precincts should help that precinct
as it has no large towns to dram
valuations from.
Figure* Gh rn
Since 1832 this procedure has not
been followed and the following is
substantially what the books in the
County Auditois office show for five
and one half years covering the pe-
riod from January 1st 1933 to July
1st 1938 to-wit:

The salary of the eounty com-
missioners however comes out of
the foregoing. Precincts 2 and 4
have also spent considerable money
for rights of way for state highways
The Harlingen precinct has also
this vear. 1937. purchased a Deise;
outfit partially paid for.
As indicated for sail last six vears
the former method of dividing mon-
ey according to valuation have not
been followed The valuations of
the respective precinct* for said pe-
riod*. will for said period very
nearly average the following to-wit:

FRANK MURPHY

WASHINGTON — <T — Frank
Murphy formtr governor of Michi-
gan and firm adherent of New
Deal policies came to the rapitol
Monday to be sworn in as attorney
general.
"I face a difficult Job. but I
would not have it otherwise " Mur-
phy said at Detroit just after the
White House announced hi* ap-
pointment. He left at once by tram
for Washington.
President Roosevelt invited the
red-headed. 45-year-old Murphv to
take the oath in the White House
study where on Christmas Eve
Harry Hopkins former WPA ad-
ministrator was sworn In as Sec-
retary of commerce Like Hopkins
he long ha* been a close friend
and supporter of the chief exec-
utive.
Until he had seen Mr Roosevelt.
Murphy would not discuss his new
job
As he left the train he was
greeted with a kiss by Miss Ann
Parker daughter of Major Gen- '
eral Frank Parker who served with
Murphy when he was governor gen-
eral of the Philippines
The president's choice to succeed
Attorney General Homer Cummings
who 1* retiring to private law-
practice came as no surprise in
the capital Murphv* defeat by a
republican last November made him
available for a federal post and
he and Solicitor Genet al Robert H
Jackson had been regarded as the
leading candidates to head the jus-
tice department.
Murphy still faces one hurdle-
senate confirmation.
New Hall Success
BROWNSVILLE- The stamp Of
public approval was placed upon the
Grand Opening Jubilee and New
Year Party of the American Legion
band Saturday night when one of
the largest crowds ever to attend
such a function in Brownsville
gathered In the newly renovated
and redecorated Veterans' Club at
231 1-3 11th street The Legion
band and Veterans of Foreign Wars
here established their headquarters
nere and opened a new place of en-
tertainment for the Valley.
•'The whole event was a grand
success.** W. R <Bill» Keikel. one
of the committee members and
master of ceremonies stated.
of us have made mistakes m haul »
four overheads instead of one lo»
our road and bridge maintenance
I share full responsibility for all
mistakes the duty of leadership has
been mine il 1 fall down on that
leadership for any reason. I look
into a looking glass for the source
of my failures and start again And
dou t try to pass the buck to some-
one else.
I feel that it is my plain duty to
our common taxpaxers and good
fhith with \ou. a.s the lno |
court to advise of those facts in-
cluding mistakes. I therefore in
the light of my experience and ob-
servation and mistakes urge your
giving consideration to the following
ifcommenda lions:
1st: That we divide the road
money according to the registration
of motor vehicles and valuations
letting the extra money given Pre-
cinct No. 1 *and I shall recommend
such helpi go on the particular i
trade territory roads leading to
Brownsville. San Benito and Har-
lingen.
2nd That the maintenance of all
roads be placed in the hands of the
county engineer or an experienced
road superintendents with just one
cad for the entire county; the
workers however to be selected as
