Tulsa OK approves $700000 bond issue in county vote
Tulew Okla Oct 11 The $700 000 bond election Tuesday yielded a strong victory for proponents. The plan would allocate 400 000 for good roads 200 000 for a courthouse 25 000 for a jail and 75 000 for bridges. Annexation of Wagoner county property valued at 2 000 000 was counted as part of the total. County commissioners who studied the proposal said the measure carried. Rumors that a majority vote was needed to validate the election appeared widespread but are disputed by officials and not supported by current law as interpreted in the last session.
