Rugan Accepts Blame for Reflectorized Tag Plan
Topeka highway director Walter Rugan took full responsibility for a $350000 reflectorized license tag plan ordered by the Stage Highway Commission and canceled. He said the action stemmed from a safety idea but he lacked authority. Commission members questioned legal backing. no 1955 law authorized reflectorized tags. Material from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing was unloaded to avoid demurrage before delivery was rejected. Rugan denied political pressure. Ottawa commissioner J R Cheney cited rumors of Gov. Fred Hall ally Jack Byrd involvement. Byrd and Joe Stephenson said they discussed the plan as friends, not as Minnesota firm agents. Byrd has been linked to possible State Corporation Commission appointment.
