Right of Way Must
Be Secured To Get
Ennis-Italy Hiway
Or paramount importance to the business interests of
Ennis and a large population of Ellis county is the need
of a good all weather road from Ennis to Italy via Bard-
well and Avalon and for that purpose the Ennis-Italy
Good Roads Association was formed.
A highway from Ennis to Italy through the points
designated would save those traveling Northeast and
Southwest approximately twelve miles and would provide
one of the richest agricultural sections of Ellis county an
adequate road over which to carry their products to the
market centers.
There is no question but what
the road now extending through
that section is grossly inadequate
to care for the transportation needs
during rainy weather. As a striking
example of their inadequacy, when
the first meeting of this organiza-
tion was held in Italy, it was nec-
essary for the Avalon delegation to
go to Waxahachie and then down
to Italy, thereby traversing twenty-
five miles to reach a point which
was only some eight miles distant
from Avalon. This was brought
about due to the heavy rains and
they were unable to travel the
muddy roads through the shorter
south by many miles but will -give
the people of this section a better
traveling road.
At the meeting held Wednesday
night in Avalon M. E. Lathan,
chairman of the organization, pre-
sen ed the facts required for the
new road and a preliminary survey
will be made at an early date to
determine the routing and right of
way necessary.

State Flower.
The state flower of Texas is the
bluebonnet, scientifically called
lupinus texensis (Hook). It is also
generally known among the country
people who reside in the regions
where it grows as buffalo clover.
It was adopted by the st to legis-
lature at the request of the Society
of Colonial Dames of America at
a session of the 27th legislature in
1901.
I The bonds offered were a part i
of a $5,500,000 issue authorized by
the first called session of the leg-
islature. The commission has sold
$2,750,000 of the issue.
Failure to receive bids was not
surprising in view of the pending
legislation to authorize bonds, ten-
tatively fixed at $4,500,000, as buy-

represented that body, which had
distance. Such roads as that
through a section of as much ag-
ricultural importance as the Ava-
lon-Bardwell section belong to a
period of some ten or fifteen years
back.
It is the primary objective of the
Ennis-Italy Good Roads Associa-
tion to do everything in its pow-
er to obtain a good read through
this section of Ellis county. At the
present time the county is not fi-
nancially able to build an adequate
road, al hough it is co-operating in
every possible way with the organi- |
zation. The state highway commis-
sion has definitely stated that it
will not buy a single foot of right
of way to build a state highway.
The county is financially unable
to purchase this right of way,
and it is up to the people to devise
some way of securing the right of
way with no money to be ex-
pended. The present road extend-
ing from Italy to Ennis has many
turns that must be eliminated in
the road, according to present plans
In other words, the situation is
such that under no circumstances
are there any funds to buy the
right of way that will be required
under the new road plan.
There is also an additional prob-
lem of getting the state highway
commission to designate a road
through this section as a state
highway. At the present time the
highway commission is reluctant
to designate any new highways.
It is therefore the plan of the
Good Roads Association to create
a public sentiment through this
section, where it is planned to ex-
tend the highway, so strong that
the people over whose land the
highway will extend will pledge
themselves to donate the land nec-
essary for the right of way. With-
out this it will be impossible to
secure the highway and it will take
the full support and co-operation
of the people along the route of
the highway to make the road a
reality.
If the people want the highway
enough to pledge the right of way,
then the Good Roads Association,
together with the county com-
missioners court, will go before the
highway commission at Austin and
ask it for a highway designation.
If it can be successfully shown
that the proposed highway is of
sufficient importance and that the
people of the section desire it

an utlimatium to Chancellor Doll-

days to make a choice between

Habicht announced an eight-day
truce in which his followers are
forbidden to attack the Austrian
government on penalty of expul-

was broadcast.
In offering co-operation, Habicht
declared.
"I ask the Austrian government
to view the terrible sacrifice of the

terrible possibilities for the future,
whether it means to adhere to its
present course or whether it is
ready, in order to save the German
people in Austria, to co-operate
with the Nazi movement; that is,
with the people, in seeking a way
to better the German future."
Habicht warned that if, at the
expiration of the truce, Feb. 28,

satisfactory reply, he would order
a resumption of the fight.
