Oklahoma Highway Chief Denies Patronage Push by Nominees
CPL Chairman W. E. Grisso said the state highway commission would deny immediate patronage requests from senatorial nominees. He outlined policy to reduce the department's debt to 3.5 million by next January and defer much of 1939 construction to fund a 2.5 million rock asphalt resurfacing program aimed at cities. He defended staffing decisions, supported only those cities cooperating on traffic relief, and named Sapulpa Bristow Muskogee Okmulgee Ardmore Chandler Shawnee as cooperating.
