Laredo Boosters Plan January 6 Meeting for Rio Grande Highway
A big gathering is scheduled January 6 at Elke Hall in Laredo to push the Rio Grande military highway project from Del Rio to Brownsville. Local chambers, city organizers, the San Antonio Highway League, and officials like Senator Sheppard and Congressman Garner back the effort. An experimental photo expedition will document the route with notable engineers and press along, and a special seating reservation is noted for women attendees. The piece argues the highway will boost border patrol, tourism, postal service, and regional trade, potentially hosting an interurban line and new settlement. It urges broad local attendance and unity to advance the plan.
