Progress of Texas Farm to Market Road Program
D. C Greer explains the Texas rural road program under S. B. 287 and the Federal Aid Act. From 1944 to 1951 the farm to market road system expands from 1,000 miles to 16,000 miles under state maintenance with contracts letting through 1951. The Colson Briscoe Bill provides 1.25 million dollars monthly for rural roads starting September 1949, marking a new era in rural and urban road construction within federal aid changes.
