One hears it every day, in and out

in Texas, and there’s no one to dis-
pute it. If there is any county
that has a worse highway system.
Roundabout doesn't know which
one. There is a possibility that the
coming year will see a great im-
provement. or at least the start, on
Denton County highways. It seems
for certain that, at last, the State
Highway Commission has its eyes
on this county, but the County it-
self is expected to do certain tilings
before the State Commission can
do any kind of highway improve-
ment. That's the matter of right-
of-way purchase by the County.
Denton County Commissioners,
without question, are as much in-
terested in highway improvement
as are the rest of the citizens of
the County. Had they the money
on hand. there would be no ques-
tion as to the action of-the com-
missioner’s Court -they would -ac-
cede willingly and gladly to the
State Commisson in the purchase
of designated right-of-ways. The
Commissioners are looking, and no
doubt will be successful. for some

nancing can be done, as every citi-
