Voters in Matagorda and Wharton counties authorize 1.255 million dollars in bonds to finance a channel to divert the Colorado River raft. The plan envisions a direct 80 foot wide, 12 foot deep channel with a 300 foot right of way to drain and reclaim thousands of acres, reducing flood risk and spurring agriculture and industry. Local leaders, including J. G. Barbee’s daughter, advocate the project as revival for the region’s economy and land use.
