Importations from Mexico pass Laredo port and local events
From Wednesday's Daily Jocal News reports ten carloads of zinc by rail, five mules, 225 goats, and 309 cattle entering through Laredo.

The pontoon bridge stayed open until 11 pm, weather limited Mexican side crossings and a band concert in Nuevo Laredo drew fewer attendees due to threatening conditions.
