Wynnewood Addition Developers rebuffed by city council again
Wynnewood Addition developers Bartown Inc and the Honston real estate group were rebuffed by the Wynnewood council as plans to extend the subdivision failed to meet city specifications including 20 foot streets curb and gutter.

The panel also approved Dr Lyman Crossman as health officer and sought a $100000 tax anticipation loan from Citizens National Bank at 23 percent interest to cover city expenses until tax collections.
