Bailey Pike Change Eyed By State Unit
The Oklahoma Highway Commission voted to seek extending I-44 designation from Oklahoma City to Wichita Falls Texas. The plan routes along I-35 I-240 and the Bailey Turnpike, ending at U S 82 in Wichita Falls with no new construction. Officials say shorter extension to Wichita Falls is favored and may gain Federal approval. Completion of the Rogers Lane interchange in Lawton supports the addition as a controlled access facility.

Panel Defers Hall Decision On Carpenter Union Hall
The Lawton Metropolitan Area Planning Commission deferred action on the proposed Carpenter's Union hall at 1115 H Street in a residential R-2 zone, asking for more staff study and placing the item on the April 22 agenda. The panel also tabled a sewage lift station ordinance draft, pending staff revision by Pat Lloyd. Carl Lindgren received rezoning approval for a lot at 6117 NW Maple to pursue a triplex and the commission approved a tentative mass transit program for 1976-79 along with three lot splits including two near the Elks Lodge on East Gore to enable a water line to the Waurika Reservoir. James Odom’s lot west of the city was among the splits.
