PROPERTY USE IS UNDECIDED < McAllen Site Sought For Spur Not Disposed Of By Owner (Special to The Herald) McALLEN, Aug. 21—No announce ment has been made by either John T. Lomax. San Benito banker who owns the site of the eld Carroll col lege. or by local persons as to what disposition will be made of the prop erty after the city commissions of McAlen failed to allow the Mis souri Pacific railroad company to bi.ild a spur across the Inter-county highway to the property in order to enhance its value as the site of pro posed industrial plants. The city commission Monday night unanimously voted against, granting a franchise to the railroad to construct the spur, and without the tracks, the location is rendered valueless as an Industrial site, it was stated. Crossing a Death Trap Judge D. P. Strickland, of Mis sion. attorney for the Missouri Pa cific, appeared before the commis sion and presented his reasons for asking the construction of the spud. The commissioners held that the danger to human life would be too great if the spur were built, inas much as the tracks would converge on the highway in an acute angle, thereby rendering the crossing a “death-trap.” The question has aroused much local interest and two factions be came known as a result of the pro posal to build the track.
