No Road Closing, Say Commissioners
County Judge Temple Summers announced that public response to closing the Dinosaur Trail road via the Blue Hole on the Paluxy River has been so strong that closure is impossible. Oliver W. Fannin had urged closure, but Summers noted a petition with landowner names is required and a single taxpayer objection would keep the road open. The court consensus is the road should remain open in the public interest.
