Hard Surface Road Sought Between Dumas And Sunray
At a Dumas Lions Club and Sunray Civic Club meeting preliminary steps were taken toward building a hard surfaced road between the two towns. A petition by 50 taxpayers for a county bond election was discussed alongside plans to connect the route to a state highway across the county. John Sheerin of Shamrock Oil & Gas outlined an industrial center mid route with plans for several smelters and carbon black plants to attract 1,500 jobs, citing cheap fuel and labor concerns. The proposed 12 mile road would run east from the north highway, pass the development site, then extend north and east toward Sunray. The plan aims to spur regional growth and attract new industries.
