Harwi Credits 1955 Kansas Road Gains Under Program
State Highway Director Frank E. Harwi Jr says the 20 year highway improvement program yielded about a 26 percent gain in 1955 above the prior years average. He defended advance planning and stated no road funds will be diverted to favored individuals, amid criticism from former State Senator Riley MacGregor that Gov Hall has abandoned the long range plan. Harwi asserted highway planning proceeds at least a year ahead with the 1956 program well publicized.
