Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "On The West wall of the Bethany city hall, a large map of the town shows, in many colors, all the paved streetsof the town. Here and there, there's a "white" street, meaning no paving, but they're rare. City manager Harry Mcrory boasts that they're getting rarer, too. He credits this rarity with a particular group of streets in the midst of the map-about 19 miles altogether-which have been paved in the last four years. It was four years ago that Bethany decided it was time to spruce up the town somewhat. Mud and dust were a problem, since few except the major streets were paved............"It isn't the bed," Macrory said. "But it does cut out mud and dust." The city has found it could get approval of citizens for this type paving, where a paving district might not prove popular. "It's cheaper," explained the city manager.
