T C McRae Named an Auditing Group
LITTLE ROCK. T C McRae of Prescott a banker and son of the late Gov T C McRae Horace Sloan Jonesboro lawyer and John R Fordyce of Hot Springs an engineer for the original Audit Commission were appointed Tuesday by Governor Futrell as members of the follow up Highway Audit Commission authorized by Act 19 of the recent special session of the legislature. Governor Futrell said he made the appointments without consulting those appointed but that he believed they will accept and will push the work with determination in an effort to close up the audit within a year. The appointments were made after three members of the original commission Lany M Casey of Batesville Harry J Lemley of Hope and J J Hollis of Little Rock had declined to serve on the new commission on the ground that the $20 000 appropriated to continue the audit is not sufficient to complete the work properly. The new commission of three members is authorized to complete audit work that may be necessary to continue to follow up investigations of highway affairs and to make settlements with contractors who performed work for the site under unauthorized contracts.
