Spur Line Sought to Ease Vernon Oklainton Highway Work
County Judge McHugh asks the Railroad Commission to authorize a spur from the Frisco Railway near East View Cemetery to serve road material shipments for the Vernon Oklainton highway. The spur would relieve Vernon yards and shorten wagon hauls, avoiding city streets. Construction of the highway starts after July 30 with paving to begin within thirty days.
