War material discussed in Texas highway probes
In Austin on February 23 the House highway investigation heard from San Antonio contractors R. W. Colglazier and C. G. Chapin. They testified they leased Highway Department trucks and equipment from Bexar County, describing the gear as war material. They said the state owned or controlled it, not for rental by contractors, and Chapin said he paid for an asphalt plant at four cents per square yard used. The witnesses noted questions about legality, with one stating they did not know it was illegal. The testimony touched on federal aid and personnel questions surrounding county engineers and a letter about qualifications, amid broader concerns over state and federal road funding.
