State plan seeks to trim highway engineering staff in Texas
A plan drafted by state highway engineer Gibb Gilchrist aims to reduce the engineering force in Texas highway departments by shifting resident engineers to oversee maintenance projects. The move comes as federal aid funds shrink and counties fail to approve bond issues, with supervisors like M. B. Hodges and J. G. Lott reassigned to oversee maintenance in their regions. The total contracted work this year is expected to reach several million dollars, reflecting cuts in federal allocations and a five year repayment plan.
