agfecably surprised at the progress
already made in highway work
The road between Corpus
Christi, Arkansas Pass and San
Antonio, with but few ex-
ceptional gaps. is in fine condition.
Bexar County is fortunate ip hav-
ing the largest mileage Of good roads
Of any county we have visited. We
find a greater portion Of the work
has been done on a solid basis. in
GLIDING well constructed roadbeds
Ind concrete culverts and concrete
(and steel bridges. Shell is used near
the coast and gravel farther away
therefrom. The same conditions are
found in Fort Bend. Harris and CAL
weston Counties. The shell road be-
tween Houston and Galveston is n
fine highway and no doubt is giving
satisfaction, though in the writer's
belief. the heavy traffic that this
line is burdened with. q more per-
maneRt construction will be required
at no distant date. This proposition
will. no doubt, ~ satisfactorily
worked out by the road officials,
backed by the people.
From observations of the writer,
il appears that San Patricio and
counties between 10 San Antonio are
right in the swim 20 road connstruc-
ton and the counties Of Fort Bend,
Harris and Galveston are just a
little further advanced than some OF
the others in this most commend
able work. Colorado County. one OF
the richest in gravel beds. has the
least number Of miles Of good roads,
though there Is some excuse OF II.
Overflows have destroyed many OF
their fine bridges, and 10 restore the
same has cost money, lots Of II. Yet
in the writer's opinion, the people
Of said county made an error in
defeating a proposed bond issue for
good roads; especially in connection
for the proposed highway between
Houston and San Antonio in con-
tinuation of that road from New Or
leans, Beaumont, etc. This matter
will, no doubt, be taken up again
later on and successfully carried.
Fort Bend County has. in certain
portions of its domain, a double
road" system, which strikes the
writer as big idea. especially In
Texas pararie counties. The local
people call il the George" high
way system. II consists Of road
bed constructed wide enough for two
highways. One is macadamized with
shell or gravel, the other is left as
a dirt road. During dry weather,
the traffic and travel usually prefer
the dirt side, il being smooth and
preferable to the harder surfaced
side OF the highway. When a rain
comes, il is an easy matter TO
switch" over to the gravel, shell or
harder surfaced" portion Of the
road.
Albert George Of Richmond is
credited with putting in force this
system while he was one OF tho
county commissioners. He doesn't
claim to be the originator OF the
idea at all, but his people insist that
on account Of the benefits derived
therefrom, that Mr.. George should
receive proper recognition.
The bill recently passed by the
Texas legislature, when put in force,
will systematize road building as II
had done in our own Kentucky and
other States. II was the best work
done by the legislative body when
they put the bill through. II will
prove TO be the most important
and far reaching enactment for the
benefit of>Texas and her people that
has been put through in many de-
cades.
