One of tite best attended meet-
ings of the Highway 59 Association
was held Wednesday in Clarksville
at the First Baptist Church dining
room.
.Before the luncheon J. T. Jolley
introduced Mayor W. E Bonham,
who gave the welcome address to
the visitors from Oklahoma and
East Texas. Hugo, Harris, Poteau,
Broken Bow. Idabel and Heavener,
Oklahoma and Mt. Pleasant and
Boeata, Texas were represented.
Mort Welch of Broken Bow in-
troduced Oklahoma State Senator
I.eroy McClendon, who presented
Governor Bavmond Gary, princi-
pal speaker for the occasion.
Governor Gary pointed out that
all of Highway 59 through Okla-
homa was under contract with the
exception of 73 miles. He also
explained that costs of building
highways in the eastern counties
of Oklahoma were considerably
higher than in other areas due to
the costs involved in crossing
streams and mountains.
Gary outlined the method used
in determining where money
should be spent for the construc-
tion of roads on the basis of need
and noted that in the last several
days eastern Oklahoma had re-
ceived about three-eighths of state
expenditures for highway construe-'
tion. \
He emphasized the benefits to be
received by the areas served by
Highway 59 at its completion and
explained that the counties of
southeastern Oklahoma had not
been developed properly due to
lack of sufficient highway facili-
ties- - .
He mentioned that in the pait
14 years state taxes have not been
increased in Oklahoma and that
state income taxes have been re-
duced by one-third, that taxes have
been amended in favor of stab*
manufacturers in thn purchase of
raw materials and machinery, that
the state has greatly improved its
**ehool and road programs and that
Oklahoma leads all states in the
upstream flood control program
and tho state plans to end Ha yent
with a $13 million surplus. F:
Following the governor's talk,
Jolley commented on the co-oper-
ation in the past between the states
on the highawy program and tbe
construction of the Highway 37
bridge.
Harold Norris, Broken Bow, was
elected new president of the as-
sociation and other ofifeers and
