Gifts Flow to Highway State Executives
Road contractor Ernest Freshour testified that he paid W M Treadwell of Morriston a $10 850 commission on crushed rock for a Pope county project. Freshour said the 70 cent trick rental was suggested to raise bid figures to secure the job, with bids rising from 1800 to cover the extra. He noted the state paid Fresher Bros $2 50 per cubic yard while a rival price was $1 50 per ton and said he was the sole bidder after a change in plans. He also testified he delivered three checks for the trick rental and later gave a $1 000 campaign contribution to Gov McMath at the urging of Treadwell.
