he issued a statement. declaring
that he regarded his responsibilities
on the commission from a business
viewpoint rather than from a
strictly political one.
And at the same time, Mr.. Rich
ardsOn came out with a plea for a
civil service system within the
Highway Department, explaining
that such a system was one Of the
acute needs of the department.
However, at the same time, Mr..
Richardson did defend his position
as a Republican but in the face of
the antagOnism on the part of Re-
publicans in his own country, Mr..
Richardson added.
Let me call the attention of the
rank and file of Kent County Re-
publicans to the fact that 1 have
in the past always strived to serve
the best interests of the state of
Delaware and as long as l am a
member of the Highway Depart
ment, / shall continue to follow
this policy"
But this statement did not assu-
age the irate Republicans in Kent
County.
And later in April, Governor
Boggs met with the Kent County
Republican Committee. It was a
long meeting. Lots of questions
were asked and answered.
The meeting, however, was after
a closed door meeting of the
county committee and it was at
that secret meeting that the anti
Richardson resolution was present
ed but was not adopted because
some of the committee wanted to
hear from the Governor first.
The Richardson controversy as
sumed proportions of more than
just a county committee battle. It
was watched with considerable in
terest throughout the state and by
leaders of both parties.
In many ways, the position of
Governor BOggs in this controversy
was a very difficult one and recall
ed the situation involving Clayton
A. Bunting of Selbyville who had
not been reappOinted to the State
Highway Commission.
There was considerable tension
as the deadline approached for
Governor BOggs to make his decis-
ion and he announced it right after
his return from Washington last
Friday.
And as he gave out the news, he
also issued his statement that COM
pletely supports Mr.. Richardson.
