Covington Firm Fails After Highway Contract Suspension
The State Highway Commission's suspension of all contracts awarded before December 10, 1923 led to the collapse of J. W. Harris & Co. Covington contractors. Clifford E. Harris and Caenene Meyers filed for bankruptcy in Covington, with Harris listing assets of 9 550 and liabilities of 25 495, Meyers assets 750 and liabilities 3 800. The firm reported assets 26 078.44 and liabilities 83 063.91, affected by a fire loss that destroyed equipment in Lewis County. Meyers, former state representative, was renominated for the 65th District. The suit to halt state payments for road work prompted the action, naming State Auditor William H. Hanks, State Treasurer E. B. Dishman, and Highway Commission members among defendants.
