Proposed Lubbock County Road Dispersal Plan Outlined
The Avalancche Journal reports a two part series on a federal and state funded road dispersal plan for Lubbock and surrounding counties. The plan seeks 33.5 miles of new farm to market roads linking Idalou to Hale county line and six miles west of Slaton to US 87, totaling 233000 dollars, with additional 46 miles of federal aid routes costing 792000 dollars. S: McCarty, district engineer, details three to four lane upgrades on primary routes and possible overpass near Monroe, aiming to ease rural and city traffic and raise land values while sparing scarce wartime funds for early postwar construction.
