Pipe Line Survey Planned Under Local Engineer Oversight
Dorsett Carter of Pan-Tex Pipe Line hires County Surveyor Howard Trigg to begin a six inch line from Panhandle oil fields to Amarillo about forty miles, with survey to start at Reese-Allen refinery. Carter aims to start construction by July 1, lines set 300 yards apart, and to build under Fort Worth and Denver tracks while avoiding gulches and lakes to reduce flow problems. A telephone line and office near the refinery will accompany the project, with pumping stations planned and support for Plains pipeline expansion. Carter also commits ten percent of an $8000 bonus toward the project.
