Pride of Town leaders in San Antonio to Brownsville railroad effort
4200, 000 BONUS PRIDE OF TOWN 4200, 000 BONUS PRIDE OF TOWN Th H Dashiell, president of the chamber of commerce, and R M Curd, editor of Facts, both of Falfurria, are in San Antonio on business and will stay until tomorrow. Dashiell notes that San Antonio has not yet raised 123000 bonus money for the railroad to the Rio Grande and Brownsville, while $150000 sought earlier, now nearly 200000, has been discussed by business leaders. Curtis says the railroad will run north from the Rio Grande to Falfurria via Chapin, reaching Hidalgo county and possibly Realitas, with plans to connect with Tex-Mex north of Falfurria. Engineer teams are moving northward quietly, passing through Falfurria on election day. The attorney general argues the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction to reverse Judge Landis.
