Fannin County Commissioners Reverse Highway Plan
The Fannin County Commissioners Court reversed its earlier approval of a north-south highway proposed to straighten State Highway 78 between Bonham and Leonard. The decision, by a 4 to 0 vote, cited opposition from residents of Leonard and Trenton who would be bypassed. Other actions included approving a $7,500 motor grader bid from Berry Brothers Machinery, authorizing a used front end loader purchase, renewing hospitalization and life insurance with Republic National Life, and reappointing Dr. E C Williams as county health officer for 1967–1968.
