the Texas congressional delegation to
pass favorably on the proposition.
Pending in Congress is a bill that |
would authorize expenditure of $150.- j
000,000 in emergency grants during j
each of the next two years for high - i
way construction the authorization i
to include $25,000,000 each year for
rural and farm-to-market roads. The
bill would not require states to match
the federal appropriation, as in th“
case of regular federal aid.
Texans interested in the legislation
were unanimously of the opinion the
bill should carry a strong provision
denying its benefits to states that di-
verted their highway income for oth-
er purposes, Chairman Robert Lee
Bobbitt of the Highway Commission
and others stating it would be unfair
to countenance this practice and
might lead to abuses unless a close
check was maintained. It was feared
that some states might divert their
own highway income if the emerg-
ency appropriation was made avail-
able to match regular federal aid as
contemplated in the original bill and
state funds were released from thij
obligation.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEAkING
The Pink Bollworm Commission
will hold a public hearing at 2
o’cock p. m., on Friday, May 14, at
the court house, Hebbronville, Texas,
to consider the advisability of incluJ
ing the county of Jim Hogg in the
Texas Pink Bollworm infested area
of Texas.
This area has heretofore included
the counties of Cameron, Hidalgo,
Starr and Willacy.
All interested parties are request-
ed to attend this meeting.

not diverted but be used for construc-
tion of state highways or other road3

tue highway departments,” Chair
mar Fobbitt, joined by member John
Wood and Chief Engineer Gibb Gil-
christ .telegraphed Senator Carl
Hajden, committee chairman.
The emergency appropria’ior
would supplement federal aid pro-
grams now under way or about to be
s:a'ted by the Texas Commission.
D scussions now are in progress look-
ing to selection of projects fo1 in-
iiation in the state-federal fa’-n to-
il.arket road and grade crossing el>
nrnation programs. Under the rural
road prospectus the state and federal
governments will expend $3,180,000
in each of the next two years to im-
prove farm roads and school bus
The pending federal author-
ization, if voted, would release ap-
proximately $2,000,000 more each
year for this purpose.
NEARLY TEN MILLION
The total funds that would be
granted to Texas under the authoris-
ation would be approximately $9,-
500,000. The highway commission
pointed out that if Texas was per-
mitted to use a portion of this appro-
priation to match the regular federal
aid, it foutd release several million
dollars in state funds that could be
applied to roads that are not eligible
i for federal aid construction an i
which can be constructed only from
state funds. There are approximately
8,500 miles of roads on the Texas
system in this classification and with
curtailed funds the state has been
financially unable to authorize pro-
jects on

portant in the state.

Hebbronville and to thank each of
you for the kindness shown me while
. there.
I I asw many improvements in the
old town made since 1 left there one
year before, too many for me to
mention each of them, this evidence
of progress is very gratifying to mo
for this town was, as you know, liy
home for many years and 1 believe
that you knew that its growth and
development was my great pride.
I may never be able t/> visit there
again but this last visit will
bright spot in my life i
live. _
I can not tell you how I appreciat-
ed the welcome smiles of all w’hom I
met and you, my friends in whose
homes I visited have my heartfelt
thanks for the kind treatment ac-
corded me.
I hope that you have had a good
rain and that you will continue to be
happy and prosperous.
I got home Sunday evening a little
tired, but otherwise feeling fine.
I close wishing the continuance of
your prosperity and the happiness of
everyone.
