New Road Law Changes Oklahoma Highway System
The legislature passes a road law sponsored by Gov. Trapp abolishing state designations for highways and dividing designations between counties and townships. Counties may designate up to 25 percent as county highways and the state up to five percent as state highways, with the state obligated to build and maintain them at no extra county cost. Gasoline taxes are reassessed with funds flowing to permanent roads and bridges, via county or state highway commission oversight, and with potential matching funds for hard surfaced projects. The article notes political commentary on Tulsa World reporter Gene Lorton and Ada gaining court town designation for Tom McKeown's bill, reflecting broader Oklahoma party dynamics.
