Letter to editor on Highlands Bayou project and bond issue
A reader thanks the La Marque Times for Highlands Bayou coverage and urges proper use of the 1971 bond funds. They oppose renaming cleanout work to rectification, arguing drainage ditches are the real problem and that funds should fix them instead of diverting money from the bayou. The letter is signed by Carl W. Fletcher and Mrs. Fletcher of Hitchcock, with thanks to local merchants for horse show trophies.
