The piece details early 1930s Texas efforts, meeting city and state officials, and a persuasive highway hearing where county judges supported a passable all weather route to boost tourism and local commerce.

Newspapers report State Highway Commission funds to start work on Highway 67 from Highway 90 to the railroad crossing halfway to Fort Stockton. The road from 90 to Fort Stockton is paved.
