State Refuses to Approve Payment for Bridge Blast Claim
The State Refunding Board disapproved a $100,000 claim by Skansay City Bridge Co. for certificates issued to cover the Garld City toll bridge reconstruction after a dynamiting incident. The board ruled the certificates lacked lawful authority and that refunding acts do not authorize such notes. It suggested the company seek a judgment or await new legislation, while approving a $6,724.73 claim by R. J. Lynch Construction Co. and detailing steps for issuing new vouchers.
