® LJARLINGEN AND SAN BENITO
have been unable to get
unanimous opinion on the subject
oi highway facility expansion be-
tween those cities.
San Benito through its spoltes-
# men. lias voiced its preference for
widening the present highway be-
tween the two cities.
Harlingen wants a new. straight
parallel highway between that city
and San Benito. a continuance of
^ Highway 96 soon to be opened
• through Kenedy county.
It has been the policy of the
6'ate Highway Commission to do
nothing m COMB where communi-
ties have been unable to reach
agreement on routings of new
• designated hii
Contracts are about to be
awarded which will complete the
three-lane highway from Mission
east to Harlingen. The next con-
4| tract will provide for three lanes
bet ween a point three miles east !
of Weslaco and the Cameron
county line east of Mercedes.

gAN BENITO WANTS THAT
# three-lane road to turn south
at Harlingen and follow the pres-
ent road on into San Benito.
It is largely for these reasons
that members of the State High-
_ way Commission feeling that the
• port of Brownsville would be aid-
ed by another road looked at the
map and suggested a road from
Cavazos some dozen miles up-
river from Brownsville across to
^ Olintto or near there and on to
• the Paredes line (Las Fresnost road
and on to the Port of Brownsville.
Wednesday morning at 10 o’-
clock there's going to be a hear-
ing at the courthouse before the
county commissioners on the
question of forming a road dis-
• trict and railing for a bond elec-
tion to vote $365000 in bonds or
thereabouts to build that road.

£OUNTY JUDGE OSCAR C.
Dancy and Commissioner T.
p A Kinder of the Brownsville pre-
cinct. are approving the plan on
one ba>Ls only.
That is. that the state desig-
nate the proposed highway as a
state highway and assume pay-
• * ment of the bonds and Interest.
Unless the state accepted the
responsibility the bonds would
not be Issued.
And an order to that effect
vould be entered by the county
• commissioners’ court.
None of the subsidiary govern-
ments involved are willing to put
more taxes on an already over-
burdened population. Port offi-
cials have stated that they want-
ed nothing that would add taxes.

Judge Dai

In other words this means that

payers of the district.
Those are the assurances given
by the county commissioner and
the county Judge.

through to a state designation it
Is necessary that all the legal rou-
