Damages only resulted from the collision of two cars in the intersection of Milt Phillips Avenue and College street shortly before noon Saturday.

The vehicles had been moved when police arrived at the scene. No damage estimates were made.

Mayor Waldo Lilly was notified this past week by Congressman Carl Albert and US Senators Henry Bellmon and Fred Harris of the approval of a grant by the newly-created Environmental Protection Agency to the city of Seminole for the construction of an interceptor sewer.

Total cost of the sewer is $43,000 and the Federal Water Quality Administration grant offer is for $12,900. Mayor Lilly said this grant is for the construction of a line from the end of the present sewer line on Highway 9 to the new Seminole Junior College site.

Addition grants also have been applied for on both the sewer line and a water supply line, Mayor Lilly said. “Our congressional delegation is giving us lots of assistance on these,” said the mayor.

Three persons suffered minor injuries about 5 p.m. Thursday in the collision of a pickup and a car three and half miles west of Wewoka on US 270, the highway patrol reported.

Trooper Ed Nix of Wewoka identified the injured as Brenda Lou Hill, 19, of Wewoka, driver of the car, and her husband, Lloyd Hill, a passenger in the car, and Orla Cunningham, 69, of Grisso Hotel, Seminole, driver of the pickup. All three were treated at Wewoka Memorial hospital and released.

Nix said Cunningham was preparing to turn left off the highway onto a county road, and the Hill car rammed his pickup from the rear. Both vehicles were listed as total losses.

Mrs. Hill was cited for careless driving.
