Possibility of Red River Bridge Favorable, Judge Says
Judge Mellugh states the chance of building a Red River bridge between Wilbyewer and Wilson is good. Oklahoma lawmakers consider a measure to permit using state highway funds or bond revenues for bridge construction with adjoining counties sharing costs. Local authorities seek a similar provision in Texas, while location and cost depend on state highway departments and federal aid may cover half the cost.
