the acproprli»|lon of $7,267,01)0 -for
'highway Improvement,, -according to
data compiled by the Texas Business
'Men's-Association. This is more than
double tbo amount of-bonds Issued in
this State last year. The aggregate
amount of bonds voted on in 1913 was
811,661,0.60, bpt 35 of the Issues, In-
volving a total Of $4,394,000; were de-
feated., This, amount of mdn'ey Is suf-
ficient to build.a first class highway
.from Red Rlvar to the Gulf, and pro-
vide for Its! mu.jtenancc for a period
of five years.
Ifhrrls led all other cpunties In the
aTho^unt' of bonds issued, having ratl-
. fled an election of $1,000,000 on Feb.
20. The smallest Issue for the year
was voted In Kerf County, and was'
for $2,000. The* election was carried
by an overwhelming majority,^nd a
heavy vote being polled, Brazoria
County takes the palm for holding the
greatest number of elections. Four Is-

on in 1913, and all received the neces-
sary two-thirds, majority- vote.
