Mrs. H. C. Amacker of the chamber travel bureau says road improvements extend only to Monterrey, 150 miles south of the border, with Mexico City access a year away. The Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City leg covers 766 miles and remains rough and hazardous in wet weather. Travel should be limited to Monterrey for now, and motorists should be prepared for repairs on rough links south of that city.
