Changes In Signs Resisted
A U S Bureau of Public Roads engineer testified that former North Carolina highway chief Robert A. Burch resisted efforts to revise sign support specifications for interstate projects. James D. Lacy testified changes would allow steel and aluminum poles as alternates to tapered aluminum poles, noting cost savings and lack of advantage in the current poles. He recounted a meeting where Burch asserted the bureau should not dictate state decisions, and said bids later fell about 25 percent after changes were directed.
