Highway Me Continues Controversy In Texas Legislature
On February 24 the Texas legislature opened the forty-sixth day of its regular session. The senate, as a committee of the whole, planned to resume its probe into the Texas highway commission and county funds in escrow for state highway construction. Witness W Frank Carter, state auditor assistant, testified about an uncashed check drawn on Henderson county funds and the Athens National Bank. The bank failure raised questions about recovering the loss from bank sureties. The calendar featured a bill to extend storage time for wild game and a Senate salary bill for all state employees. House leaders planned to substitute a House bill for the Senate proposal and proceed.
