HISTORICAL MUSINGS Soon after the formation of Lipscomb County the need for bridges became evident. The following is a paragraph expressing the need from the PANHANDLE INTERSTATE: "If there were no one traveling except men, and they were acquainted with the stream, there would be no call for a bridge. But now strangers are in the country, also women and children, are passing to and fro. Should any of them be swallowed up in the floods or sand, we as a people would feel that we should have provided a safe crossing." The first bridge across Wolf Creek near Lipscomb was approved during the time P.B. Mills, was County Judge (1906-1914). Stay safe |
