Rails bring hiway work into Sonora
In Sonora on January 29 plans to build One Orient to the city aim to improve the road 56 miles to Rocksprings. Edwards County estimates hard surfacing at eight thousand dollars per mile while state maintenance roads would cost less. Preliminary work might run 150 dollars per mile and Edwards and Sutton Counties seek a favorable proposal from the State highway department. The Orient road could funnel livestock to Sonora when the railway reaches the city, with a bond issue for surveys likely to pass. Crockett County recently approved a state 4 to 1 vote on a related measure.
