## Opinion text

*355 GIBSON, J.
(dissenting). Since is it charged by the protestants and admitted by the Turnpike Authority that the toll road to be constructed with the proceeds of the bond issue will not extend throughout the distance between Oklahoma City and the city of Tulsa, the termini prescribed by the Act, and that the Authority will not at its expense provide said cities with access thereto, I am of the opinion that for that reason alone, even if there were no others, approval of the bonds should be withheld.
