CASHION. KINGFISHER COUNTY. OKLAHOMA. THURSDAY. Jan. 3'
NO. 40
Bridge Maintenance Miserable
Road construction work ac-
cording to annual report of Max
L. Cunningham, state highway
engineer, in Daily Oklahoman,
Kingfisher County;
"Bridge construction good.
Road construction good, except
that attention is not given to
worst spots in main roads as it
should be. Maintenance condi-
tions miserable.
Logan County;
"Construction work fair, but,
not directed along lines that will j
benefit state traffic. Bridge work .
good. Maintenance badly neg-j
lected "
Quite a report for two count-1
ies that have no just reason for j
not leading the state in the good
road movement. With regard to
maintenence of bridges we would
hardly say "badly neglected "but
would point to the Cimarron
county iine bridge three miles
north of Cashion, which has
been out of commission for three
years and is rusting and rotten-
ing away, and say "criminsl"
ly neglected."
