Road Officials Dismiss Alarm Over 5 Million Equipment Purchase
Dr. Henry W. Jordan, chair of the state highway commission, called the road equipment buy a tempest in a teapot while defending a 5 million dollar purchase aimed at stabilizing secondary roads. Contractors voiced concern that the 200 million dollar program must stay within normal contracting channels, as railroads and shortages hampered procurement.
