-ITS NEEDS
Two things show the greatly in-
creased interest that is being taken
in the Hug-the-Coast Highway. One is
the .space given to its last meeting at
Galveston by the Houston and Galves-
ton papers. All these papers gave the
meetinpj a front page headline and an
the-Coast Highway Association would
use its influence to have the road
brought past the National Guard Camp
at Palacios.
The following delegates were pres-
ent from Palacios-—J. F. Barnett, J.
B. Feather, G. F. Gillespie, and County
Commissioner, George Harrison. The
latter reported progress for Matagor-
da County.

The delegates were entertained to
lunch at the Galvez Hotel by the Gal-
veston C. of C. and the Galveston Au-
tomobile Association. About 70 sat
down to an excellent repast. In an af-
ter dinner speech Judge Brantley Har-
ris, United States Commissioner, said

He is survived by his wife, a son,

sisters.
Mr. Regan had lived in Houston
many years and was widely known
over East Texas as a salesmon.—

of our citizens as one of Palacios'

' When the meeting at Galveston con-
> vened on last Friday morning there
were at least 60 delegates present,
and as the day wore on other dele-
gates appeared. The address of wel-
come was given hy Judge Holman,
Chairman of the Commissioners' Court
of Galveston County. He informed us
that the three counties at the eastern
end were co-operating closely with
each other. An Eastern firm was pre-
pared to spend $650,000 on providing
landings and ferry boats between
Point Bolivar and the city of Galves-
ton, a distance of two and a half
miles. The Ferry Co. was about to
spend thousands of dollars in adver-
tising. Two ferry boats are already in
the harbour at Galveston, and these
boats were capable of carrying from
60 to 75 cars an hour. It was the in-
tention of the Ferry Company to pro-
vide bus connections on each side of
the Bay.
One of the delegates to the meeting
called the Highway between Canada
and South America, including Mexico,
the most important highway in the
world. He said there would be a hard
surface road to Mexico City in 18
months. The Hug-the-Coast Highway

Encouraging reports of progress
were given by the different Counties.
The representative from'Jackson coun-
ty, Mr. Sells, informed the meeting
that he had to travel 96 miles to get
across 10. A very enthusiastic report
was brought by the delegates from
Jefferson county. They are now arrang-
ing for a County-wide bond issue to
concrete all their important highway
connections. Mr. Warden, Engineer for
the Gulf Coast Good Roads Associa-
tion, informed the meeting that Bra-
zoria County was now completing
plans for a four and a half million
dollar bond issue.
^fudge Huggins, President of the
Gulf Coast Good Roads Association,
was present, and gave a stirring ad-
dress. He informed us that he brought
some mighty good news, and that was
that the Federal Government was
about to increase the annual grant for
roads from 75 millions to 125 millions,
and that the amount allotted to the
State of Textfs would be increased
from 4V4 millions to 7'/j millions. He
told the meeting why the contract for
building- a causeway across Lavaca
Bay hod been postponed to the Febru-
ary letting. The lowest bid is consid-
erably in excess of the amount esti-
mated b/ t'ie State Engineer, and so
the contract was postponed to the
February /oeeting. The letting of the
contract to build a causeway across
Copano Bay at the meeting held last
week in Austi i Committed the State
Highway Commission adsolutely to the
finishing of ^he Hug-the-Coast Road.
A previous speaker had said that the
two cities that would benefit most from
the Read were Galveston and Houston.
Judge Huggins took cxccption to this
The cities that would- benefit most
were Galveston and San Antonio.
Houston was deeply interested in the
develoi ment of the tens of thousands
of fertile acres that lay along the
Gulf Coast, contiguous to Galveston,
Jloustcn, and other cities. A rising
vote of thanks was given Judge Hug-
gins ci the conclusion of his address.
The Wiiter would like to add that no
man has taken more interest and no
man d serves better of the Hug-the-
Coast }highway Association than Judge
Huggins. He has worked and travelled
unceasingly and untiringly. He has
lent the weight of his great influence
to thi?; cause. In addition to this he
has forwarded its interests on every
occasion possible both by the written
and spoken word. As showing his In
terest In Palacios, he suggested at
the meejting that owing to the increase
of federal aid granted the State of
Texas, It might be possible to get fed
eral aid for the road west of Palacios,
■
Colonel Matthews represented the
Texas National Guard at the meeting
and in a short address hoped the Hug
some. The following paragraph is re-
printed from the Houston Post of
Tuesday, and is from a pamphlet pre-
pared for the enlarged budget com-
paign:—
It's surprising how business can
get away from a town—if it isn't
watched every minute. Thomas Ken-
ney, domestic trade contact man with
the Houston Chamber of Commerce,
who travels assiduously through Hous-
ton's trade area, could tell you many
interesting stories of how trade with
Houston firms is won and held.
"Do you think a city just grows by
tself ? Kenney can tell you differently.
Holding business is a science in itself
and the Chamber of Commerce allo-
cates thousands of dollars of its annual
budget every year just to give this
friendly contact to Houston business,
without a cent of cost."
Thomas G. Kenney is well and fa-
vorably known in Palacios. He has
spoken at the annual meeting of our
C. of C. He visits Palacios about once
a year, and we are glad to testify that
he always brings with him and leaves
behind him 'the friendly contact' on
behalf of Houston mentioned above.
* ¥ *
The Houston Chronicle of today,
(Thursday) has this to say with re-
gard to the campaign of the Houston
Chamber of Commerce for an enlarg-
ed budget:—
"Firms and persons already ap-
proached with a request that they in-
crease their support to the Chamber
of Commerce have almost unanimously
consented. Others who have not here-
tofore been giving their aid can hardly
fail to follow the example set them."
* » •
The question asked above 'Do you
think a city just grows by itself?'
ought to be asked of every citizen in
Palacios. The Palacios Chamber of
Commerce works diligently all the
year round. It meets regularly once a
month, and often special meetings are
called. Its officers are punctual in their
attendance. The meetir^s themselves
are characterized by a sense of vision
and a whole-hearted desire to serve
the community. For example, a special
meeting is called this evening for the
purpose of trying to bring the Sum-
mer School of San Marcos Academy
to Palacios this summer. As most of
us know: the San Marcos Academy
held this Camp School here some years
ago, and it was quite successful un-
der Col. Franklin, as Principal. Now
with the coming of a hard-surface
road to Palacios via Bay City there is
a good prospect of bringing it here
this summer. It will likely be neces-
sary to send a delegation to San Mar-
cos next week to urge its locating here.
The Palacios Chamber of Commerce
cannot do all the work it is called
on to do without adequate financial
support. It is true the past season has
been a poor one from every point of
view, but this is all the more reason
for moro earnest work. Will not the
citizens of Palacios put to themselves
the above question: 'Do you think ?
city just grows by itself?' The Pala
cios Chamber of Commerce needs more
financial support, and Palacios itself
needs a more whole-hearted and more
self-denying spirit of co-operation. 'All
for each and each for all' has always
been the watchword of true co-opera-
tion. Palacios needs to stress the for-
mer. The C. of C. cannot do its work
without the support of all—it needs
the help of all in this good work.

meet in Cuero April 15 to perfect a
permaennt organization having for its
purpose the perpetuation of the name
of the historic seaport town which was
destroyed by storm in 1886, and to
compile records that will preserve for
future generations the historical and
social traditions of old Indianola.
M. M. McFarland of Austin, who is
a native of Indianola, has—taken—the
initiative in calling the meeting and
will serve as acting chairman until
permanent organization is effected.
Mr. McFarland declares that Cuero
is the logical place for the gathering,
as the greater number of the original
citizens of the ill-fated town settled
here after the storms of 1875 and
1886.—Houston Post-Dispatch.

The following from the Houston
Chronicle will be of interest to Ruel
B. Foley's many friends here:—
Ten lots in Brantwood were sold
last week by one Fantham & Fan-
tham salesman, Ruell B. Foley, leav-
ing only nine lot unsold. Mr. Foley,
during Brantwood's pre-development
sale, has hung up a sales record that
has been the subject of much comment
in local real estate circles.
Brantwood purchasers bought ahead
of development for investment and
homesites on the strength of the mod-
ern and progi-essive plan under which
Fantham & Fantham have develop-
ed the addition. It is contemplated,
states Earl C. Fantham, member of
the firm that salesmen of the organi-
zation will close out on the nine re-
maining lots by February 1.
Brantwood was first opened to the
public on October 1, 1929, and has
enjoyed a remarkable sale, due, in
the opinion of its developers, to its
strategic location in the heart of the
Rice Institute sector, toward which
Houston residential development is
pushing. Brantwood is the third suc-
cessful addition operated on a pay-
as-you-go plan by Fantham & Fan-
tham, the first being Colonial Ter-
race, followed in succession by Win-
dermere and Brantwood.
Under their plan of operation, im-
provements are put in at the option
of the lot owners, thereby assuring re-
lief from depreciation, interest and
taxes during the time the majority
of the lot owners are accumulating
substantial equities in the property.

OUR STREETS
Surely, there is not a citizen in Pa-
lacios that is not willing to go tho
very limit in order to give our City
Fathers power to hard surfaco our
streets from end to end. True, no one
likes to increase our taxes, but there
is no question but what we are paying"
out as much or more in nogotiatinar
the muddy streets than it will tako to
pay for a liberal bond issue to pave
our streets. If we are content to re-
main in the mud and 6lush we may
also make up our minds that Pala-
cios' growth is at an end. The making
of a "City-by-the-Sea" now rests up-
on the voters and a liberal bond issue.
Boys, lets go the limit and do wha'
every citizen knows must be done to
make Palacios worth while,
