Rail power shifts in early 1940s Class I trains
In the first quarter of 1941 coal burning locomotives powered about 65 percent of passenger car miles for Class I railroads, rising from 47 percent in the same period of 1947. Diesel usage grew from 7.11 to 22.15 percent in that interval.
County Wide Bond Issue For Road And Bridge Improvements
The proposed 750000 bond would raise 0.33 per dollar in yearly tax. Funds allocate 500000 for road work, 150000 for bridge repairs, and about 100000 for road machinery. Distribution by precinct favors Hallettsville Sublime 26 percent and Yoakum Shiner 37 percent, with others at 22 and 15 percent. The plan spans two to three years to maximize results and allow systematic progress.
