AGREEMENT ON!
ARROYO LIKELY
Government Interest Spurs
Harlingen to Hasten
Settlement
(Special to The Herald)
Harlingen, Aug. 8.—vigorous
efforts will be made In Harlingen
the latter part of this wr-’ and the
first of next to unite the city on
tome type of waterway down the
arroyo to the gulf.
l^ose watching the navigation
Situation most cloeely have been
spurred to action by the announce
ment by officials of the navigation
district that the government engi
neers will hold a hearing in Harlin
gen In the near future to determine
what sort of a waterway the people
want.
tl is now believed likely that a
mass meeting will be called when
the sentiment of citizens of this city
will be ascertained by vote. The
sentiment of the majority now ap
pears to be for a nine-foot channel
which will be a part of the intra
coastal canal project, or one which
easily could be made a part of it.
The text of the statement issued
by the navigation district officials
follows:
“To the Citizens of the Arroyo
Colorado Navigation District:
"In a short time an investigation
of the Arroyo Colorado as a chan
nel to the Gulf will be made by the
government engineers to ascertain
through a hearing at Harlingen,
just what the people want as a
waterway and where It is desired,
which survey was authorized in the
recent rivers and harbors bill.
“This survey will determine
through the engineers Just what
cooperation or patricipation by the
government we may expect from
congress.
“It seems that there has been
some misunderstanding among some
of our citizens to the effect that
this was another survey of the In
tra-coastal canal from Corpus
Christ! to Harlingen and Port
Isabel.
While as an Investigation It is
separate and apart from the survey
of the Intra-coastal canal, it is not
impossible that at least a part of
this channel may at some future
time become a part of the Intra
coastal canal and by reason of this
may become some Inducement In
the eyes of the engineers to recom
mend some form of cooperation and
participation bv congress.
•The date of the hearing will be
made public through the district
engineer’s office at Galveston."
