RE-ELECTION ON RECORD
As you know, I am a candidate
for re-election to the office of
County Commissioner of Precinct
No. 4, Bosque County. May I make
a few true and brief statements to
my friends and voters of Precinct I
No. 4.
I solicit your support on my rec-
ord, and at all times I have tried
to do my sworn duty regardless of
friendship. In the last 4 years 1
have secured more right of way for
Precinct No. 4 for the use of State
built and maintained roads than
had been secured for this purpose
since the State first began build-
ing roads in Bosque County. All of
this right-cf-way expense came
out of Precinct No. 4 Road and
Bridge Funds. This approximate
55 miles of right-of-way has been
quite a job to obtain and fence.
Other than this we have continued
our regular maintenance work.
When you elected me for your
Commissioner we had 14 large
steel bridges on Bosque River,
Meridian Creek, Neils Creek and
Hog Creek, each being quite a
hazard and item of expense on up-
keep. When the two bridges, which
are now under construction on the
Bosque River are completed, on or
about Sept. 1 of this year, we will
only have 4 of the old original
bridges left for the Precinct to
maintain. Each of the other type
bridges has been replaced with
nice modern, permanent structures.
When the contracts are completed
that are now under construction,
Precinct No. 4 will have well over
1/2 million dollars of Highway
money. Most of this is Farm-to-
Market and bridge work since the
new program started. We have
also helped the farmers build many
miles of terraces in their soil con-
servation program.
If you approve of the program
