City Manager Proposes North South Route Through City
Roy S Braden told the council of a state maintained north south route plan with two new links and a new bridge. An alternate Mangum Gaylord route could be cheaper but the project would require property acquisitions and four houses removal near Fifth Street. The council also adopted a flat wholesale tax schedule and assigned the purchasing agent to delinquent street assessments and tax foreclosures while the city sells about 1,700 largely vacant parcels.
