Davison, Assistant Engineer Commissioner. He ! has been connected for the past 10 years | with the constructiof divisions on the Kentucky and Florida State highway departments. The position, which has been vacant for the past six months, carries a sal- | |ary of $4.600 per annum. It was fo | merly held by R. L.
