Hunt Co., TX - News: State Highway Department ***************************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb by: Sarah Swindell USGenWeb Archives. Copyright. All rights reserved http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************** The State Highway Department was busy this week surveying a right-of-way for a new Farm-to-Market hard surface road beginning at Merit and connecting with the Lane FM road at the Earnest Berry and Spider Barnett farms. This road will serve many farm homes and will come within one-half mile of the Dulaney Cemetery. The new road will be built at a cost of $120,000, and construction is scheduled to start sometime this spring. This should prove a real asset to Celeste, as it has potentialities of drawing customers from the Merit area to Celeste to trade. (January 15, 1954)
