Highway Officials Clash Over Highway Study Plan
A Minnesota Senate highway committee and Highway Commissioner James Marshall argued over a proposed study to realign divisions of the department. The survey could examine removing the highway patrol and drivers license and safety divisions, with Marshall favoring a broad safety study and possible new department. Funds cited total 25 000 to 30 000 dollars, with a decision on contractors to be made by Marshall if department funds are used. The commission invited consulting firms to its next meeting to discuss the matter.
