Highway Disagreements Becoming More Serious f".\ l.vw XISRKT. H.iily Ois|>.i.<ii Burr.hi Raleigh. ·! ι : ι, · ]!i The Vorth Carolina Si.ιΐι· Highway and Public' Works commission. quietly called j into special 'ssion hehind closed ' floors yesterday afternoon, hail be fore it one ot the ιιιι·>1 important 1 matters of policy yet to be con sidered. Boiled down to essentials the two issues are these: Can the chairman and chief engineer award a con struction contract over protest ol the division commissioner. wh>· thinks the bid too high.' and, Hoes North Carolina have a real Stall· Highway and Public Work Com mission or dot - it have it have ten separate and independent suzerain ties ruled ovei by a division com missioner'.' The background story is briefly as follows: At the latest contract letting all bids were accepted and contracts let except for one four way project in John Goode's tenth tenth division. The jobs included resurfacing of sections of streets 111 Waynesville and Canton, and somi 1 f> miles in two roads in Buncombe ♦ounty. As has been the custom in the past, the chairman, the chiei engineei and the commissioner weie empowered to act on this bid Low bid was by the Dickerson firm of Monroe, next low by Asheville Pav ing Company, and third low by the Stewart Company They range from $126,11011 to $140,00(1, or thereabouts. Commissioner Goode insisted all bids were too high and objected to awarding the contract Chairman Sandy Graham and Chief Engineer Vance Raise insisted that the low Lid was within their own estimates, that it was by a responsible eun tractor who has done a lot of work for the commission, and under these conditions they were bound 1 ■ award the contract. There has been a lot of telephoning and writing, Graham and Goode had a confer ence at Hickory about the matter, but. the tenth division man stood pat. He said at the time the bid was made the coal and railroad strike had laige influence upon it. and lit. felt sure if the project were re-ad vert ised a lower figure could 'be ob it hasn't come into the open bui there is evidently some ill feelint m the making. Some believe tha Commissioner Goode is determine! j to get the job lor the Ashcville firm I while others fee! just as strongly I that Engineer Raise is trying l< I force the award to a compctitivi j contractor. The issue is importait enough without any of this persona feeling. Several commissioners have cher ished the grievance that Grahan ; nd liaise are trying to run ever* tiling from Raleigh, too often by passing them in their own division. It the local commissioner is to b ignored, why have one? On the oth er hand, if the local eomnnssionc i.- to be the supreme authority, why is the sense in a statewide organiza ^Continued on Rage Eight.)
