Secretary Bartlett Defends Action in County Highway Garage Probe
State Highways Secretary Robert G. Bartlett rebutted Senator Donald Oesterling over alleged wrongdoings at the Lawrence County garage. Bartlett cited prompt remedial steps including a state Justice Department probe and the dismissal of the superintendent and a foreman. He rejected the attack as lacking facts and promised further reply after reviewing the senator’s letter. The probe also involved an arrest of a highway employee and a welding contractor, with auditors charging a $100,000 overpayment for crushed gravel and equipment rental still unresolved.
