Penitentiary Use in Highway Plan and Texas Diversification
The text argues using prison labor to build a modern highway system from Huntsville to Austin and Dallas, with routes through Madisonville and Corsicana, to ease congestion and repurpose Huntsville prison. It notes Nueces County cotton leads state production but diversification is urged with rampant vegetable shipments from Odem and other West Texas towns. A flying school and air services are planned for Uvalde Del Rio and Eagle Pass, while local grocers face competition from bakeries in the city.
