Voters are urged to back a road bond to support better highways as the county faces historic development. With oil wealth, rising industry, and a mobilization camp, leaders warn that failing to improve roads would hinder future growth and link all parts of the county.
The issue asks if Harris County will fund road repairs now to avoid further decay or delay and waste. It asserts the county can use credit to fix shell roads and prevent losses, urging bids from responsible builders and citing President Wilson on public improvements to justify timely rehabilitation and bond issuance.
A list of endorsing organizations and firms for a bond issue is presented, including the Young Men's Business League, Houston Labor Council, and the Highway Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, followed by numerous local businesses and individuals such as Purdy Guinan Lumber Co, Levy firms, Lipper Motor Car Co, Houston Buick Sales Co, Texas Oldsmobile Co, Taylor Motors Co, and many others. The document enumerates supporters and signatories across a broad spectrum of commerce and public entities.
