Five Names Considered for Virginia Highway Commissioner
Governor Almond is expected to pick a new state highway commissioner from five candidates, with Francis A. Davis unlikely to be chosen. Other reported names include Flythe of Martinsville, Samuel May of Tazewell, and John Pershing of the Richmond Petersboro Turnpike, with two names unconfirmed. Speculation centers on seeking an experienced business executive and avoiding officials tied to Anderson. Davis faces opposition despite support from lawmakers.
