The Texas Highway Commis-
sion has approved the expendi-
ture of $140,000.00 for high-*
way safety and betterment In
Red River County during 1963,
announced District Highway En-
gineer L. D. Cabanlss of Paris.
He said a total of 4.3 high-
way miles In the county will be
Involved. The work will be under
the supervision of B. P. Burt-
ner, senior resident engineer,
Clarksville.
This project begins at the
Juncture of Highway 82 and FM
Highway 1699, two miles west
of Avery, and extends east to
the Bowie County line. FM 1699
Is a new designation applied to
the old highway between English
and U. S. 82.
This work Is part of the 1963
State Highway Safety and
Betterment Program Just
authorized by the Highway Com-
mission.
Under this program, a total
of 2,369 miles of U. S. and
State highways will be im-
proved. Work will be done on
356 projects In 164 counties.
Total state - wide cost will be
about $20,640,000.00.
Purpose of the annuel pro-
gram Is to continue the
Improvement and moderniza-
tion of U, S. and State highways
for Increased safety and con-
venience of travel.
The annual Safety and Bet-
terment Program Is one of the
prime factors responsible for
a significant 26 per cent drop
In the number of traffic deaths
on primary highways during the
last eight years, the Commis-
sion Mid.
"Together with programs for
new construction and cafeful
maintenance, the Safety and
Betterment Program has helped
achieve a meaningful reduction
tn traffic fatalities on the pri-
mary highway system," said
'Herbert C.Petry, Jr., chair-
man of the Highway Com-
mission.
Petry termed the Safety and
Betterment Program as “not
only desirable but essential for
the safety and comfort of people
who travel Texas highways In
record numbers."
The program, he said, will
"perpetuate and protect the tax-
payers' investment of well over
92 billion in the Texas highway
ay Stem."
Highways are due for Im-
provement such m surface
widening, bridge wldenlhg and
replacement, base strengthen-
ing, and rebuilding of shoulders.
District Engineer Cabanlss
said a total of 15.4 miles in this
highway district would be Invol-
ved, at a total cost of $750,000.-
