Lee Simmons Seeks Bond Plan for Whitewright Roads
Lee Simmons spoke at an American Legion picnic asserting a $5,800,000 bond issue can fund Class A and B roads as mapped by the Highway Executive Committee. Judge G P Webb praised the plan as a worthy heritage, noting maintenance funded and state county roles. The plan would shift most maintenance to state and reduce local road miles, with $150,000 yearly road funds and $100,000 for maintenance.
