We fail to see how any gover-

prohibitionists better than Gov-
ernor Hobby has in his special
failed session of the Legislature.

promises to build a first-class
road connecting the highway-
through her part, of the terri
tory, they threatened to change
the route to come by way of
the city of Cleburne and Bosque
county and on to Waco: our peo-
ple finding out at the last mom-
ent that we were only being
used to arouse interest in Hill j
county people to the extent that
they would at this tune vote
bonds and awaken interest
enough to build this road to the
satisfaction of the Colorado to
the Gulf Highway Association.
All Texas hopes that their pur-
pose will be satisfactorily ac
complished as every motorist
who is compelled to pass the Hill
county way has plenty of bad
roads. The Locating committee
decided at their meeting last
Monday to let this route remain
as it was formerly adopted as
they tbii\k they see symptoms of
Hill county people coming alive
to the situation of good roads
and feel that the highway will be
an incentive to go ahead and
build good roads.
