Macomber Defends Sanitary Board Spending After Letter Critique
Bluefield Sanitary Board head James Buck Macomber rebuts claims by M. R. Coleman that funds were wasted on surplus gear. He cites purchases from a Dunbar surplus center and defends items like old trucks, a bedless truck, airplane parts, and paint, insisting most items were misrepresented or not properly understood. Coleman questioned necessity and even ownership of airplane parts amid a broader rate debate. Macomber urges transparency, inviting Coleman to the board for facts rather than a phantom accusation.
