Close Decision Seen On Road Bond Issue
Lubbock county voters approved a 1.5 million dollar courthouse and jail bond and showed strong support for a 350 thousand dollar road right of way plan. Unofficial returns from 24 of 26 precincts indicated a likely win for both, with turnout around 1,750 votes and county-wide totals favoring the courthouse proposal by a 1,030 to 724 margin and the road plan by 1,186 to 524. Some precincts remained to report and were considered unlikely to alter the outcome. Countywide revocation of remaining 369,500 road bonds was approved 1,309 to 374.
