port to San Luis Pass as a
county-wide effort remains
to be seen.
Brazoria County is rich in
Texas history and Yankee
dollars. The more roads it
has, the more tourists and
the more chance of showing
off its point „ of historical
prominence.
I- is one of -he few Texas
counties operated on a cash
Basis. Brazoria County’s
wealth lies in oil and petro-
chemical refining, oil and
gas fields, cattle, farming
Tourism, never particu-
lar solicited, has passed
Brazoria County and its
great wealth by. The beaches
lie east and west of the ter-
minal city of Freeport. The
thousands of factory workers
have had these beautiful
beaches pretty much to
^hemselve'- In the past
They liked it that way ard
still do, sav the merchants
of Freeport who are all
for promoting tourism. A
feud of long standing between
the cities of Freeport and
Lake Jackson apparently is
being healed.
Freeport citizens looked
once with jaundiced eyes at
rhe residential rjry of Lake
Jackson, which was sub-
sidized for the benefit of
I company employes by the
leading chemical company of
the area.
Will the Freeport road
to the pass be a project
of Precinct One. where most
of the county’s population and
wealth He. or will It be a
county-wide effort9 This de-
cision eventually will be
made by the Commissioners
Court
Dixie Brown, commis-
sioner of Precinct One. can
count on the support of Com-
missioners J. H. Brignace
of Sweeny and John P. Gayle
of West Columbia. It is un-
likely he wi’l expect any help
from Commissioner Henry
Jordan of Alvin
County Judge Alton Arnold
of Angleton has '• Indicated
how he will vote on the bridge
project, even though the
bridge is gaining popularity
among the businessmen of
his own community.
An election to finance the
road with some $800,000 in
bonds ’ailed In Precinct One
about five years age. Things
have changed there since
then
Dixie Brown’s predeces-
sor tn office opposed the
project then, as did the
county engineer, who has
News.
Support for the San Luis
Pass bridge is gradually
spreading through the vari-
ous communities of Brazoria
County, except Alvin.
Support is growing in the
county seat. Angleton, and in
West Columbia some 14
miles to the west. Should the
bridge be built, traffic would
flow throughboththeseciries
westward.
They are situated on High-
way 35 Alvin, too, sits
astride this busy Gulf Coast
traffic artery The people of
Alvin don’t wan: the San Lute
Pass bridge because it would
attract traffic away from
Alvin.
Already the town is threat-
ened with the loss of some
traffic from rhe Brazosporr I
area, which Includes Free-
port, Lake Jackson. Clute.
Jones Creek, Oyster Creek.
Lake Barbara and Richwood.
The threat comes from the
fact that the Texts Highway
Department is going to build
an overland shortcut south
of Alvin, which will link
Galveston and Brazoria
counties.
This shortcut will tie
known as FM 1561 and will
run from a junction with
? Ugh way 238 to the Alta
Loma-Hitchcock area. FM
1561 runs already from
Hitchcock to the Brazoria
County line.
Four-lane Highway 238
connects Angleton and Free-
port with two ribbon of
concrete 16 miles low.
Construction of the first
new section of 1561 will be-
summer. The en- _
tire project will be finished
in a couple of years, accord-
ing to highway department
engineer.^.
There was a long and bitter
st ruggie a s to whe re thi s new ’
ruuie would be situated.
Freeport people wanted the
new road built closer to the
Gulf. They lobbied hard in
Austin to get it put there,
but lost.
Building of 1561 came first
in the hearts and minds of
Brazoria County. Now that
this route is assured, they
seem ro be willing to help
out on the San Luis Pass
project.
UTiether Brazoria County
citizens will take on the
building of a road from Free -
bridge-

tion period.
Toll payments are expect-
ed to retire the cost, which
at this point is an unknown
factor.
County Commissioner
Jimmie Vacek, in whose
Prectacr Two the project Is
located, believes $3.5 Mil-
lion would cover the cost of
the bridge and its ap-
proaches.
He said recently that the
entire structure would need
to be about two miles long,
but that the actual bridge
would measure only about
■’ 000 feet.
One of the most encourag-
ing development s tn the pro-
ject is the entrance of the
Brazosport Chamber of
Commerce Into the picture.
The chamber has put the pro -
ject in its current program of
work.
That means the directors
are pledged to work collec-
tively and individually for the
project, not to mention the
rank and file membership,
j Support in the Brazosport
I area is ail-important for
several reasons, among
which are:
The Brazosport area lies
in the county Precinct One.
where the great concentra-
tion of the county’s wealth
and population is located.
Tourism is being con-
sidered as a source of reve-
nue in this highly industria-
lized and rich community.
The man on the street is
now getting interested, as is
expressed in the words of
a supermarket operator, who
recently said;
"We’ve got to have that
bridge across the pass and
the sooner the better.’’
It may come as somewhat
of a surprise to come Gal-
vestonians. but the recent
city election has been a great
aid in the promotion uf the
bridge across San Luis Pass
When people in the
Brazosport area of Brazoria j
County learned Galveston
would continue its present
form of government, rheir
interest in a road to Galves-
ton was strengthened
"People have wondered j
for a long time if it would ,
be proper to have a road to j
Galveston. They didn’t want ,
their children exposed to
some of the entertainment
that Galveston offered in the
past," one of Freeport’s
leading citizens told The
