Farmers Seek State Action on Road Bond Assumption
AUSTIN Aug 22 Texas farm groups urged Gov Stevenson to call an early special session to address the 22 million road bond issue. They request state servicing of bonds, county incurred rights of way prior to 1929 and 1939, and use of the balance to build farm to market roads designated by county commissioners and built by the state highway department. The County Judges' Association echoed the plea but left out farm to market road wording.
