Right of Way Work Studied For US 66 Route Near Amarillo
County commissioners discussed the new US Highway 66 route between Amarillo and Bushland focusing on right of way issues. County Attorney John Peterson said he was near settling amicably on purchases and ready to file condemnation suits. An agreement with the Will Rogers Range Riders settled land needed for a farm to market road in front of their clubhouse, valued at about $1,000 per acre, with construction estimated at $4,000 and potential county labor savings of $1,500. A small frontage dispute with C B Battenburg was referred to land men to assess damages. Battenburg demands $65,000 but says damages may be higher.
