Paving Started
On State Road
In Victoria Co.
Victoria, Aug. 27.—Paving of High-
way No. 12 in Victoria County started
near Telferner Tuesday under a con-
tract left by the state highway com-
mission to Dodge & Wettegartner of
San Benito last month. The contract
includes the section of the highway
extending from Victoria to the Jackson
County line. The same firm has the
contract for paving Highway No. 12
in Jackson County from Edna to the
Wharton County line.
The highway will be paved with con-
crete to a width of 18 feet. Practically
all of the old route has been abandoned
and the new route is straight except-
ing a gentle curve leading to the west-
ern .approach of the Gai-citas Creek
bridge and a slight angle in the west-
ern suburbs of the city. All railroad
crossings also have been eliminated.

Fast Headway After Being
Delayed Last Week By Rain
Work on the paving of Highway 58
from Elder's Dairy toward Camp Pa-
lacios, through town, is being pushed
with all possible speed this week and
the progress is very satisfactory to
all. Rains the latter part of last week
and on Sunday delayed the work quite
a bit, but with the fair weather now
existing the superintendents of the
different crews hope to make up time
lost and by the last of the week be
nearing the Main Street stretch.
