Farm Road 510 To Get Needed Repair
A 5.4 mile Farm Road 510 project has been awarded to Ballenger Construction Company of San Benito. J F Snyder district highway engineer says C Herrera of San Benito will supervise the work, which includes grading, structures, base and surfacing from Abney southeast to State Highway 100 at Laguna Vista. Completion is expected in about 100 working days. The road has had resurfacing removed in spots for repairs, irritating travelers during ongoing Highway 100 work between Los Fresnos and U S 77 83.

Strike continues as workers vote over shrimp processing rates
Frank Voltaggio of Producer's Marine Service Inc. says nearby fisheries pay 50 to 75 cents an hour to evaders. He notes a 1.00 hourly rate would be a last resort to process on hand shrimp but cannot be sustained. Workers poll themselves and would quit after such pay, while the company may process the shrimp with available staff.
