Aug. 30.?There is obvi ous lack cf harmony among mem bers of Ihc stale highway and pub lic works commission, but the ratio of unanimity is still < ine to one. Thursday's monthly meeting got off to a bad start when John Gr.ode. commissioner for the tenth division, entered another protest at awarding a contract for road work in the1 mo ? tains to a non-Ashcville firm. At two previous meetings he had protested letting of contract to the lowest bidder instead of to a local firm which had been next t<? low. This time Ihc question was over a combination oid.
