Commissioners Okeh Road Project Refused by Board
County commissioners met at the courthouse in regular Monday sessions. A delegation from the Hott Rodders sought an okeh to block a mile of highway for a drag race, but the plan was refused for the time being due to impracticability and local residents urging deferral. The broader road improvement program, a bituminous paving and construction project, is valued at about 96000 dollars. A later meeting with city officials and planners reviewed administration and public relations efforts as the program proceeded.
