, SUIT FILED ON
CANAL DAMAGE
Missourian Asks $22,000 For
Right-of-Way Over Land
Near Mission
(8pecial to The Herald'
EDINBURG. May 20.—Suit has
been filed by J. B. Lamrere of
Jackson county. Mo., for damages
amounting to $22,047 against the
Hidalgo County Water Control and
Improvement District No. 1 at
Edinburg by Attorneys J F. Carl.
W. H. 8adler. and W. R. Mont
gomery.
The suit, which was filed in the
93rd district court. Is expected to
come to hearing in the next term of
court.
Lamrere is asking the $22,047 for
. a canal right of way running
through land that he owns.
According to the petition Lamero
owns 1202.94 acres of land near
Mission purchased from the West
Texas Abstract and Guarantee
company. In May 1925 this com
pany is alleged to have made an
agreement with what was then wa
ter district No. 4 and later changed
to the present district No. 1. to sup
ply wrater to this land for the com
pany.
The southern portion of the land
was subdivided into the Mission
Groves Estates in 1928 and the
water company tool: for its main
canal 44.94 acres of the property.
Shortly after this there was or
ganized the new Hidalgo county
water control and improvement
district No. 8 which also embraced
the same land.v Acocrding to law

what a wonderful increase in strength

"I was so weak I couldn’t walk across

this new district then acquired the
exclusive right and jurisdiction for
supplying water for irrigation to
the land.
It is also alleged that water dis
: trtct No. 1 waived any rights it
had to supply water to the tract
in that it had actively aided in the
organization of the new district by
; having sent representatives to the
state board of water engineers at
Austin to ask for right of forma-:
tion of No. 6.
The land is alleged to have been
damaged in sale value to the
amount of $20,000 by leaving dumps
of dirt along the canal and also
that the water company had con
tracted to construct a suitable
strong bridge across the canal and
that no structure of any kind had
been erected.
If the law rules against the re
covery of the land Mr. Lamere
asks for $45 an acre to cover the
cost and for eminent domain to
clear the title of the property.

Appropriation Bill* Will
Consume Not Leas Than
2 Weeks of Session
By R. W. BARRY
Associated Press Staff Writer
AUSTIN. May 20.—<A*>—'Winding
up more than three months work
tomorrow, the 41st legislature is
faced with at least another month's
labor.
The all-important appropriation
bills are yet to be considered. Un
less sentiment changes, these mea
sures will consume not less than
two weeks steady work.
Much depends on Gov. Moody
whether there shall be a third call
ed session. If he submits regula
tions of public utilities, revision of
water priority laws and . prison
concentration—in the event he ve
toes the compromise measure on
this subject now on his desk—it
seems certain the state’s business
cannot be wound up in another 30
day period.
He has assured some members he
would submit revenue and taxation
in order to get a new gasoline tax
and a revision of the existing mo
tor vehicle registration fees.
Rep. T. N. Mauritr of Ganado,
author of the Income, intangible
assets and other tax measures, said
the governor had indicated -he
would permit the consideration of
these bills, following their summary
execution at the hands of the com
mittees during the current session.
Mauri tz has announced for gover
nor on the strength of his tax pro
gram. which would permit discard
of the time-honored ad valorem
levy.
An effort will be made to dou
ble the present gasoline tax of two
cents, but stiff opposition will be
encountered with the prevalent be
lief that a compromise on three
cents will be effected. The fight
by Rep. Ray Holder of Lancaster
and others to cut present registra
tion fees on privately owned pas
senger automobiles fifty per cent
will be renewed in spite of the
house’ action during this session in
passing a bill carrying a 35 per cent
reduction. The bill died without
consideration by the senate com
mittee. Representatives Leonard
Tlllotson of Sealy and R. M. Hub
bard of New Boston, its authors,
preferring that It not be passed at
this time.
BUILDING PERMITS
DROP $167,000
(Special to The Herald)
EDINBURG, May 20— Building
permits for the month of April of i
this year dropped $167,673 from the i
total shown on the records at the j
city hall for the same period of ]
1928. The total for 1929 was $7,
425 while that of April. 1928, was1
$175,100.
However. In 1928 one of the
permits which was for $150,000 was
never built. It was for the Mid
western Amusement company that
did not materialize. * Other per
mits in that month were for homes
and repairs on buildings.

THINKS PRICE SETTING
TO DRIVE LABOR AWAY
; To The Herald:
In two parts of the VaPey the
; farmers are organizing to set a price
for picking cotton. In other years
when labor was plentiful it did not
matter, but this year labor will be
very short and a move such as this
will cause labor to leave the Valley.
So, why not organize to get labor
instead.
