Baylor County pushes plan to fix Vernon road link
Baylor County officials including Commissioner O A McCaleb and Engineer Calvin F E Cook discussed upgrading the highway between Vernon and Seymour. The plan calls for a low water concrete crossing on the Wichita River and grading along about 24 miles in Baylor County, with minimal cost due to accessible grading material. The route, west Seymour road, runs just over 42 miles with 13 miles remaining in need of grading to reach the Baylor county line.
