ed to allow .lor future additional
arbors.. 'Each arbor contains a
fireplace, fire wood, an • incinera-
tor, a concrete. table and bench-
es-. and a, planter box.
Safety rest areas on the Inter-
state Highway System are gen-
erally larger than older roadside
parks previously; built by the
Highway Department and contain
more arbors per park with an
area on each side of the highway
and parking space for trucks Dis-
tance. between rest areas will
average only 37 miles through-
out the slate when the Interstate
System.- is completed in 1072. So
if"you're traveling, along and find
one rest area filled, it will only
be a few minutes to the next spot.
The new rest area was dedicat-
ed formally May 29 by chamber
of commerce officials from Segitin
and San Antonio and members of
the Texas Highway Department.
Herbert IVtry, Jr., chairman
of the -Texas Highway . (Commis-
sion, was principal speaker.
The primary pnrpo.se of the
