State Highway Dept Is Improving Roads in Grayson County
Denison January 24. R L Kennon state highway department foreman has begun work in Grayson County with the county aiding by loaning tools and machinery until state supplies arrive. He will grade and gravel routes including No 6 between Colbert bridge and Van Alstyne, No 42 south of Whitewright, and No 5 between Bells and Whitesboro. The effort aims for material highway improvement during summer, with Grayson County needing more funds than current taxes provide.
