Three Miles More County Paving Contract Let
Contracts let Wednesday for nearly three miles of additional paving in Wilbarger County totaling just over 95 000 dollars. Work to begin immediately and run through completion before winter. J Fory awarded the Oklainton east townsite pavement project while B O Gilstrap won the Fargo road bid and differences in bids arise from freight and water costs. Federal state highway approvals delay final closing on the Oklainton contract as paving on the Colorado Gulf highway is postponed to spring for grade setting.
