County Engineer and Commissioners End Budget Feud
Logan Albert Seabright, county engineer, and the county commissioners reached a truce in a budget feud over the 1958 force account plan. The clash centered on road department operations with Seabright proposing multi road improvements while the commission favored concentrating on one road at a time. The board approved the force account budget but withheld 55 000 for discretionary use, prompting threats of resignation and a possible shutdown of the road department if the force account was not kept in effect by January 16.
