Many Sate Benefit Of Highway -
146 Association Led Early-Day Progress Her<
By FRED HARTMAN
Back in the dim dark days’of
the 1930s when Southeast Texas
was trying to dig out of the de-
pression, a proposal was made
to build State Highway 146
from Livingston to Galveston
by way of then Goose Creek,
but of the hopes and the
plans of those who saw the
benefit of the proposal came
the organization of the State
Highway 146 Association.
Among the first group of sup-
porters and officers were for-
mer County Judge Guy Cade
Jackson of Anahuac and W. T.
Busch, Baytown banker who
felt that Baytown (yet to be)
would never quite make It until
there was access by state high- fi;
way. ■'/
Gqy Qade Jackson looked
farther ahead than some of the
Chambers County officials of
recent vintage. He maneuver-
ed right of way through the
westernmost section of the
county that made possible the
highway segment from Dayton
to what is now Baytown. His
successor, the late G. C,
(Cobb) Winfree also was a key
gure,

2 Protest
Spur 55
At Hearing
By Preston Pendergrass
ANAHUAC (Sp) - Only
two protests were lodged at a
public hearing here Wednes-
day on the proposed con-
struction of Spur 55 from
Baytown to West Chambers

about the height of the Spur

He wanted to know what the
horizontal clearance of the
bridge would be.
