Application for some action toward the erection of a permanent high water steel bridge over Onion Creek toward Elroy was made to the' Travis county commissioners' court Saturday afternoon by a committee of 13 Elroy citizens and business men of Austin, in order that people residing in that section of the county 'may reach Austin, to do their shipping in bad weather as well as in good.

County Without Funds The rook-bottom level of road building finances in Travis county at present, however, has fettered the hands of the commissioners to the extent that they are helpless to make any co-operative movement with the Elroy citixens. The plan was discussed from every angle and the condition confronting Travis county placed before the committee. Further meetings are planned to discuss means for raising the funds with which to erect the bridge and also to repair roads in the county. i -It has been suggested that a mil-i lion dollar bond issue proposition! be submitted to the people as the! only solution of the problem of fi-1 nances for road bulldlry? purposes. It is generally recognized that good roads and substantial bridges over streams leading into the city would be to the best interest of Austin as well as to those residing In outlying communities, but the question of taxes Is halting any definite decision in the bond issue proposal.

Bonds Would Solve i An Issue of $1,000,000 would take care of the out-standing district bonds as well as provide sufficient funds for the additional work needed, The movement for such an Issue is being advocated by the commissioners' court as the move to Austin's best interests. Following are the members of the committee which conferred with the council: Captain H. Richardson, Will Caswell, John Ross, J. B. Moore.

This is a convenience found on no otheK cabinet. Then there are the famous Automatic Lowering Flour Bin, the Double Base Shelf Extender, Dust-Proof Ease Top, the Ant-Proof Buffet Silverware Drawer, and many others. In all there are "15 Famous Features" that make the Sellers a real dtlight to work with; in addition to saving steps.

And what makes the Sellers even more desirable today, in the eyes of most women, is the fact that this superior cabinet costs no more than ANY good cabinet. Most dealers will place one in your kitchen upon receipt of a small 'payment down, and make terms for the balance to suit your income. Building a cabinet in the kitchen costs practically double the price of a beautiful Sellers and can have none of the wonderful features that we have developed In our 30 years' progress.
