INTERURBAN LINES TO
BE BUILT TO AUSTIN
The Strickland-Goodwin elec-
trict interests have succeed in
floating a bond issue of $7,500,000
and all their interurban lines are
now under one ownership, known
as the Texas Electric Traction
Company. They have lines to
Denison, Sherman. Corsicanaand
Waco out of Dallas. The. con-
silidation means that the com
pany can now extend to other
points, bonding their investment
as they go. The new financial
arrangement means that it will
be easier to build to Temple,
Austin and San Antonio. Messrs.
Strickland and Goodwin make no
secret of their desire to build to
Austin and San Antonio. The
bonds were bought by the Har-
ris Trust Company of Chicago
and St. Louis financial interests,
after the officials made a per-
sonal inspection of the pronerty.
Road Worti Progressing
In Hutto Country.
County Commissioner Joe N.
May has been in the Hutto com-
munity this week where the
work is progressing in building
good roads. This work has been
made possible by the $50,000
bond issue in that precinct. Mr.
May reports the grading about
completed and the placing of the
gravel progressing satisfactorily.
The work there is on the same
plan ss the work on the Round
Rock road just outside the city
limits of Georgetown, a macadam
road on ope side and a dirt road
on the other. This plan is being
generally used now and has been
found to prolong the. life of the
macadam roads by distributing
the use between the two in good
weather. G e o r g e town Commercial.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the County Inter-
scholastic league of Williamson
County, held in the office of the
