Five Towns Seek Bowen Bus Service to Houston
Representatives from five towns traveled to Houston to urge the Railroad Commission to grant Bowen Motor Coach Lines a direct San Antonio to Houston route. The 1936 application by R. C. Bowen prompted a hearing slated for June 12–13, 1940, in Houston, with anticipated connections to Seguin Belmont Shiner Hallettsville Altair Columbus Sealy Katy and Gonzales, expanding trade and bus access for communities lacking service. Participants from Shiner included L. E. Denmark P. R. Otto Jos. Muras L. M. Roeder Emil L. Balusek Chas. Miculka Mrs. Elo Wolters Mrs. Albert Muenich Mrs. Cecile Plagemann and Miss Mary Lee Fietsam.
