Texas highway spending to aid farmers in 1950
The Texas Highway Department plans to shift focus to Farm-to-Market roads in 1950 while spending will dip from 1942-1949 levels. State Engineer Greer cites an $15,000 annual fund for the Colson-Briscoe Farm-to-Market program and a partial federal aid decrease offset by new law funding. Maintenance costs run high as the department oversees about 29,000 miles of roads and employs around 8,000, with 70 percent of outlay from constructions and 22 percent from maintenance.
