shopping center of Central Texas and fuller use of Lake
Brownwood could make the city the playground of Cen-
tral Texas, master planners told council members Thurs-
day night.
Adoption of a comprehensive plan by the city council
can make it official, but only the understanding and sup-
take the city route by Fourth
Street, Broad advised.

Austin Avenue and Coggin Ave-
