Recommendation has been*
made by the Board of Control
that the state build three ce-
ment plants for the manufac-
ture of cement to be used in
the construction of state roads,
the plants to be operated and
maintained by convict labor.
These plants would be built at
points accessable to all parts
of Texas, and Clarksville, At-
of Texas, and Clarksville, Atlas,
Bridgeport, Roby, Weatherford,
Jacksboro, Jayton, Marfa, San
Antonio, Fort Worth, and La-
Grange have been recommend-
ed as suitable sites.
The Board of Control is of
the opinion that the state can
manufacture its own cement
cheaper than it can buy it, and
by building three plants in dif-
ferent sections of the state,
they expect to take advantage
of freight rates in the distri-
bution of the product.
