PALACIOS, TEXAS
Mr. O. C. Ulmer, of Dallas, was reg
istered this week at Hotel Palacios
purely on a trip of inspection—is sold
on Palacios and expects to return as
soon as possible for business.
Palacios being in line for large de
velopment in the near future should
receive its share of advertisement and
benefit from the Democratic Conven-
tion and we ought to show our appre-
ciation by sending an unsolicited sub-
scription to our friend R. S. Sterling
and show that our hearts are right,
and that we want to help in the big-
gest show ever brought to Texas. Let
some one start a subscription and do
it now.
Some six months ago this county
voted three million dollars road bonds.
Will some one please tell the voters
through the columns of the Beacon
if these bonds have been sold? If on-
ly a part, have been sold then how
much? What premium was paid?
Was any commission paid to any one
for selling them? IIow is the money
being used?
If roads are being built with it what
pro rata does the county pay? What
the state? and what the federal gov-
ernment, ?
And, since Palacios is the best town
in the county, except the county seat,
would it not have been the proper
thing to build a road connecting them
first?
Is it a fact that the county now has,
and has had for some time, a county
engineer at $500 a month and two as-
sistants at $250 each? If so what
e they doing? And do you not
think we ought to beat that?
At the present rate of road building
and overhead expense if Palacios does
not hurry is there not a probability
that the money will all be gone before
her road is ever touched?
Now that there may be a good many
people who already know these things
but there are likewise a good many
who do not. So that we all may bet-
ter understand cach other and march
along more contentedly together let
someone come forward without delay
and make us all wise. Let us know
what is being done.
