Action Delayed On Highway Jobs In South Dakota
Pierre Aug 11 Action on awarding road construction contracts in South Dakota, for 35 projects opened July 27, has been deferred after a conference between the state highway commission and A E Palen, district engineer for the federal bureau of public roads. Palen refused to concur in most awards and will defer further action for the present, citing that contracts were not in the public interest. The commission had urged awarding to low bidders, prompting Yankton interests to protest two paving projects in Yankton County. The St Paul bureau did not provide a ruling, and the commission noted Palen offered no other reason beyond not public interest.
