Judge Reverses Ruling Grants Milam Bridge Request
Milam County Judge W G Gillis reversed an earlier denial and sent a bridge application to the state highway commission for a Brazos River crossing near Gause with Milam's 15000 dollar allotment. The 125000 dollar project will be half funded by the federal government and ties into the Reagan subdivision and Bankhead highway plans. Mass indignation meetings erupted in southern Milam seeking secession, while Thorn dale pupils plan a Friday 7 15 pm box supper to fund new Victrola records and boost the Texas Teachers permanent fund quota.
