Dr. O M Johnson outlined immediate steps for a toll bridge on Lee Highway across the Red River between Okmulgee and Davidson. Plans by George Dy Key of Oklahoma City call for Federal-compliant, high-class bridge design to carry heavy traffic and artillery for a defense-linked route connecting Army posts with Fort Bliss. Johnson and Secretary J M Mielder will brief Vernon, Oldaston, Davidson and Frederick committees before submitting to Texas Oklahoma highway departments and the U S Bureau of Roads. The aim is eventual toll-free operation, with possible government takeover at cost, and current federal state aid on Lee Highway running to about 82.2 million versus under 7 million on the Lincoln Highway.
