County Approves New Paving
Glasscock
County will spend an estimated $158,000 for six miles of paving and a bit of
sealcoating this summer. The paving
is for County Road 150 from Co-op Road to CR 125 (3 miles, $77,000) and CR 415
from Hillger Road north and west to paved CR 415 (3 miles, $77,000). Repaired
areas on Hillger Road from McDowell Road west to CR 415 will be sealcoated
(3,000 sq.yds., $4,000).
Bids are to
be let June 11, and the work should start in late July.
Commissioners
on May 14 approved payment of a disputed $18,000 bill from West Texas CAT.
Commissioner Hugh Schafer said, “They did the work, so we have to pay the
bill.” He said the size of the
bill was apparently due to machine work on the job. He said, “Next time, they
won’t do unauthorized work.”
County Judge
Wilburn Bednar reported that Al Stiefer has gotten estimates on an emergency
warning siren and they are in the $20,000 range.
Commissioner Michael Hoch said maybe the county could get a grant for
that purpose next year.
