Hunter Hits K<*ad Body
Hunter said the highway depart-
ment had * 11. i to account for
*140000000 of the people's money
contributed for highway construc-
tion. He said a fair portion of that
amount undoubtedly had gone to

“foolishly wasted." He said highway
crews were busy painting trees and
erecting concrete monuments to
ihow where "the road ends and
the jiasture begins."
Gov. Sterling told his audience.*
he would "tram an extraordinary
severe eye on traveling expenses (/.
state employes to effect more sav-
ing.” He said if renominated he
would convene an extraordlna ry
session of the legislature in Aug-
ust to effect economies in govern-
ment and arrange for transferrin*; a
part of the highway gasoline tax
fund to counties to retire bonds is-
sued by them to construct roads n ow
a part of the state system.
He said a charge that the high
way department had squandered
1100000.000 -as ‘ o silly it is h*ud-
ly neoessary- to discuss It.”
He said there was not any question
about the outcome. He edicte«i he
would win in the first primary . He
said Mrs. Ferguson was beaten and
'there isn’t going to be any runoff." j

AWARD READY
(Special to The Herald)
LAREDO July 19.—Contract for
construction of highway No. 4. 36
miles from Catarina to Webb station
to a connection with the paved
highway into Laredo is expected to
be awarded at the August session
of the Texas Highway Commission.
Resident Engineer Fred M. Percival
plans to have everything beiore the
commission In ample time for call-
ing for bids to do the construction
work.
Plans estimates and structures of
the Catarina-Webb highway are
now nearing completion by the
force of men under Resident En-
gineer Percival in the basement of
the county courthouse annex and
will be in the hands of the high-
way department shortly. These plans
will also be submitted to the Webb
county commissioners' court for ap-
proval.
Recognizance or the Zapata coun-
ty highwa. a distance oi 52 miles
south from where the Webb coun-
ty pavement ends through Zaputa
county to the Starr county line will
also be sought at the August meet-
ing of the highway commission
stated Resident Engineer Fercival.
This means there will be no delay
experienced in building of Highway
No. 4 from a connection north of
Laredo to a connection on the south
through to Starr county and to
Brownsville. The highway through
Zapata county from the Webb coun-
ty line on the north to the Starr
county line on the southeast will be
52 1-2 miles long passing through
Zapata and San Ignacio.
Indications are that by Septem-
ber construction work will be in
progress on the Catarina-Webb sec-
tion of Highway No. 4. and this will
be followed by onstruction work on
the highway through Zapata coun-
ty
Completion of the work on High-
way No. 4 will not only give La-
redo connection with the great
north and south highway from the
Canadian border to the Mexican
border at Laredo but it will also
provide the long heralded down-the-
river route from Laredo to Browns-
ville and the loop highway where-
by autoists can travel northward to
Cor us Christi and cither back to
Laredo or to the northward.

HERE’S something to think about if you
want the biggest money’s worth of
comfort safety and trouble-free mileage
when you buy tires.
You don’t have to buy low quality tires
to get low price.
You don’t have to take second-choice tires
to save money — because FIRST-CHOICE
costs no more.
Here are prices that prove it. Read them
and remember they buy real Goodyears.
Big stout husky tough Supertwist balloons
with the name Goodyear Speedway on the
sidewall and Goodyear materials through
and through.
For 17 years motorists have voted Good-
year Tires the best on the market—because
they have bought more Goodyear Tires
than any other kind. Because Goodyear
makes millions more tires than any other
rubber manufacturer it stands to reason
Goodyear can build them better and better.
Take another look at the prices here and
ask yourself: Why buy any second-choice
tire when FIRST-CHOICE costs no more!
