Court Blocks Oklahoma Educational TV Bond Plan
Oklahoma City July 9 The State Supreme Court refused to authorize the Oklahoma television authority to issue 1 450 000 in bonds to fund two educational television stations. The court ruled the bond issue unconstitutional as it pledged all future public building fund revenue to debt service. It cited a 1941 constitutional amendment forbidding any state debt or obligation. The authority had planned stations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa using KWTV transmissions. Dr. M A Nash said the authority would meet soon to review.
