Famariss refinery crew hires, traffic plans in Lovington area
The article notes rising activity at the Famariss refinery site south of Lovington with Joe Collier securing a sub contract for spur rail work and Bob Fulton from Foster Wheeler coordinating engineering efforts. Walter Famariss remains central, traveling to Philadelphia for a refinery session and Austin for a Railroad Commission meeting while local housing and auxiliary industry inquiries are being directed to Southern Union Gas. The project finances are explicit as conventional, placing the refinery on ad valorem tax rolls, a point contrasted with prior uses of industrial revenue bonds. The piece also touches on potential pecan and peach crop weather impacts and closes with a George Washington quotation.
