Head of the commission was Richardson, a personable and likeable person, who had done surveying. 1910 -- the delegate and head of the Road Commission both had to lobby Congress and there was some friction. 1932 -- Army got out of the Road business and Dept. of Interior lead. 1956 Dept of Agriculture and Dept. of Commerce fought to make one agency at the head, Bureau of Public Roads, which altered how things were done.
