The Pima County plan to use force account for road work meets opposition from the Associated General Contractors of Arizona. The postwar planning board approved the proposal, with Lambert Kautenburger supporting. Bruce Ellis argues paying under contract could halve costs, citing a $48,000 job with $10,000 in engineering fees.
