Willacy irrigation project indicted figures deny official ties
Frank P. McElwrath and six others were indicted in Washington on charges of conspiring to defraud the government over the Willacy County irrigation plan. McElwrath said his interest lies only in 700 acres of land in Willacy County, not any official role. The project would water 750000 acres of land, with bonds issued in 1930 totaling 7500000 dollars, largely unfunded as RFC and PWA handling shifted, requiring bond losses to protect the government's stake.
