Warrants Urged For Road Project In Scurry County
A Snyder delegation of transportation and oil businessmen urged the Scurry County commissioners to issue warrants for a four lane U S 84 highway through Scurry County. The plan, part of a Roscoe to Garza County line project, would be financed by the Texas Highway Department with county right of way split. County Judge Edgar Taylor outlined two funding options: a bond election or warrants, noting warrants cost about 2 percent more but avoid an election.
