Commissioners See Road Work Proceeding Despite Standoff

County commissioners expect a settlement with the Taxpayers Defense League to allow $800,000 in road and bridge projects to move forward. Only initial equipment allocations have been approved, with detailed contracts and precinct plans aimed at replacing timber bridges with concrete structures and constructing culverts across multiple routes. The dispute over the war tax warrant has paused work on the coliseum, but officials foresee an end to the stalemate and continued improvements across four precincts totaling about $200,000 per precinct.

A statement from Navy Capt Georges Raines said Forrestal knew he was ill when he left office March 28, and psychiatrists who counseled him noted his feelings of hopelessness and thoughts of death.
