ties of the State.

The state supreme court today held
that the $4,000 worth of highway

suit brought by Erret Dunlap when the

good road bonds in the state are affect
ed by this decision. according to County
Attorney James II. Mathers, who has
made several trips to Oklahoma city to

banks can handle the issue, Commits
sioner Roy johnson said Tuesday morn
ing. The American National Bank OF
Oklahoma City and j. r. Edwards OF
Oklahoma City are purchasers Of the
bonds. he said
| Approval of the bonds will have TO
be given by the attorney general, but
1t is expected that this will be done i'm
mediately since there is no longer u
shadow over the validity OF the issue.

the case before the court and getting
an early opinion written. II was stated
then that Mr.. AIathers had filed two
separate briefs in the case, had made
several trips 10 the capital, and had de-
voted the greater part OF his time the
last month to this matter.
Resignation Of Mr.. Mathers was held
up for one month on account OF this
legal matter, the commissioners. ntner-
wise. he would have been released us
