Roswell Candidate Faces Question on State Lands Commission
Residents in the Pecos Valley weigh whether G A Davisson of Roswell, Democratic candidate for state land commissioner, would earn commissions from state land sales or leases in addition to salary. The issue recalls Davisson’s 1915 actions as Chaves county treasurer seeking commissions from a drainage bond sale and from the contractor involved, Walter S Dickey, amid legal challenges over bond payments.
