Is Zero.

Chairman Albert j. Wedeking of
the state highway commission con-
ferred this morning with Director
John j. Brown.
Director John J. Brown then went
to the Office of Governor Harry G.
Leslie.
But the fate of blacktop paving
and commission policy still remains
shrouded in mystery.
Brown said that although no for
NAL orders to cancel the three type
blacktop specifications have been is
sued it is informally understood"
that the blacktop paving program
will not proceed. This, he said, is
the meaning Of statement issued
by himself Wednesday. The state
ment was so worded that every one
read their own meaning into it, the
blacktop interests seeing in it rays
of hope and the concrete COMPETE
ton final victory for themselves.
Wedeking said he had not read
the statement, SO didn't want to be
quoted in regard to its meaning.
Governor Leslie said that the
highway matter will untangle it
