ASK OVERSEERS
TO HELP D
COUNTY ROADS
County Commissioners Desire
to Secure Complete Sys-
tem of Graded Roads in
Cameron County
A complete system of grilled road*
for Cameron county will be one of the
principal objectives of the county coni
missioners’ court in the coming year
and plans are now being made to in-
terest the road overseers in every sec-
tion of the county. In connection with
the road improvement plans Judge
Dancy today is sending to euch of the
38 road overseers in the county the
following letter:
“The county now has three ten-ton
and one-five ton Holt tractors with
large graders to match. Wr also have a
large number of small graders with
slips and drags. Three of these tractors
were obtained from the highway de-
partment upon our assurance that we
would keep them going. Right use of
the tax money will do this hut for the
court to undertake to do the clearing
of rights of way. grubbing etc. will re-
sult Iti these tractors being idle and
possibly being given to some other
county. To keep them idle is in my op-
inion almost criminal inefficiency.
“It fs suggested that each road pre-
cinct or community desiring one of
these big outfits to grade up roads
i'r« see its commissioner and ascer-
tain from him what roads he would con-
sider as being such that should he
graded up. then through your five days
road law or voluntary help do the nec-
essary clearing of rights of w?y mov-
ing fences and scraper work and espe-
cially make arrangements hy which the
roads will he kept dragged after they
are graded. It does very little good to
grade up the roads of a community un-
less they are to he kept dragged and
from now on we expect to he very rare
fill in ascertaining this fuel before
working them with big outfits.
"‘The best time to drag roads is when
the ground is too wet to work in fields
and arrangements can he made so that
all Ihe work done hy the communities
can be done at such time as will not
interfere with farm work and not he a
financial burden to the farmers. With
♦ his vear s small trurk crop the oppor-
tunity is better than ever before to get
this work done.
Don t une the little graders that we
have scattered throughout the county
to build roads until vou first a seer- i
tain that the big outfits will he una-
vailable. It takes just as many men to
handle the little outfits a* the l> g 01ms
and a dollar behind the big ones will
go farther than three behind the tit 11 a
ones hut the little graders will lM- ideal j
to use in maintaining the roads after
♦ he big outfit* have done the grading
Such graders will do two to three
times the good that a drag will do.
“Cominunities having dra:nage ditch
es have a big opportunity to get roads
that will he passable when other road-
are impassable on account of mud by
levelling down the hanks of the drain
age ditches. The-c piles of dir* are so
unsightly at present hy using for reads
lands otherwise useless will he utilis-
ed. I believe it would require very little
effort to get the farmei • along these
ditches to «n utilise them. You could
arrange in many instances f< r *he far-
mer* to put in their five da> * working
down the*- embankments.
“Don’t neglect to fully enforce the '
five day mad law and 1.1 cose of any |
trouble y.M will find the eon-* holding
up your hand* hut bv having woik
Hone at such time* a* will not interfere
with farm work we should have very
little trouble
“You cannot have good mad* without
o«ir help and we cannot have good roads
without your help. Let’s work together
and let each community vie w th it*
neighboring community as to which can
hs"e the best road*
^ can depend on the commission-
er! ’court g'virg the most help to that
community that show* the mo t dispo
sitioo to help itself.
"When in Brownsville call in and
♦ alk over any road problems vou may
have.”

ERADICATION OF
MOSQUITO PEST
IS NECESSARY
“Brownsville should take immediate
st# ns to eradicate the mo-quitnes in
this city." was the statement made this
morning by an official of the If. S
public hi alth service. The recent devel-
opment of yellow fever cases at Mon-
terrey anil \ ictoria has caused sonn
uneasiness nt border ports and health
officials are sounding a warnir g to
clean up the mosquitoes the only a-
l mi y through which the disease may
spread.
Thus far only one r:i e has developed
at Monterrey and two at Victoria ac-
cord rig to reports received by govern-
ment health officials. No general epi-
i dernic i* anticipated in those cities be-
cause immediate campaigns were inaug
| urat**d to eradicate the mosquitoes an I
tlii* plan should be followed by a l
cities on the border heulth officials

I ic plague had appeared at Monterrey
