Special Session Ends After Road Bond Passage
After a ten day special session of the 42nd general assembly the body adjourned having passed the $100,000,000 highway bond issue. The debates stayed civil with both sides pushing for ground and praise for Governor Hammill and State Highway Engineer Fred White. Many speeches served political purposes, but the final vote matched earlier expectations and statewide sectional support added interest to the outcome.
