AUSTlNj Jan. T8.—Permission to
transport Mexican Federal troops
across Texas was refused today by
Acting Governor Davidson in a
tel.gr.rn to Secretary of State
Hughes. The possibility of trouble
with Mexican residewto—*hi--too
Texas border prompted the refusal,
th* Acting Governor stated.
if the Fcdernl Government shows
that the demand for the passage
of the. troops is urgent and guar-
antees ample protection to Texas
citizens the request will be recon-
sidered pnd every effort made by
officials of Texas to ca-operute with,,
the national authorities, according
to Davidson.
President Obregon of Mexico
asked permission to transfer 2,000
Mexican federal troops across
Texas between El Paso and Laredo.
Acting Governor Davidson ex.
pressed himself in us in hearty
** sympathy with any move which
j c_- would brTng tranquility to the
Republic to the South, but he point-
ed out the danger of bringing
Mexican troops on to Texas soil
because of strinjgent differences of
opinion concerning the revolution
among Mexican citizens residing
this side of the border.

miles. Dallas then gives the op-
tion to Denton County of choos-
ing that the city construct con-
necting roads from thia bridge to
highways near it or build a gravel
road about the entire lake. The;
road nround the lake would be
much longer that) the roads to Con-
nect with the other imjfroved mads
of the county und the connecting
roads will likely be selected in the
end, though at a later date or by
the time the . lake is built it may
be found necessary to construct the
rond about the lake for police use
in protecting the Dallas property
from pollution, it was stated.
At the south end of the Ink*
Dallas wou|d construct a roadway
across the dam that would be
about 75 feet wide and would then
build u road that would <
it with -the Denton-Dalias
wny nnd the roads east of
lake. The lake would mean
abolishing of the Dickson bridge
"tut the road on the south end
of the lake would take its place.
It wsyt pointed out that Dalia*
in constructing the two crossings
op the creek would build a bridge
nn<l roads that would be above
water at nil times and passable the
year around. The location of the
connecting roads would be deter-
mined later by Dallas officials, Den-
ton County commissioners und the
State Highway Department.
