A Chattanooga firm submitted the apparent low bid of $6.6 million, but award of the contract was withheld pending settlement of the suit.

because of numerous news accounts of the project. THE HIGHWAY Department has maintained that no delay on the project was necessary, because the contract could be modified to provide for additional access roads and overpasses. The court approved this proposal and said: "It appears that there may yet be hope that some of the severe damage to the Negro community and institutions can be reduced, it not relieved in their entirety." THE COURT expressed regret that state and federal officials refused the committee's request for a 90-day delay on opening bids on the project.

Peck and Bert Combs agreed with Gray in ruling against the claims of the steering committee that selection of the route was arbitrary and improper notice was given on a public hearing on the expressway route. THE COMMITTEE, a group of Negro and white businessmen, educators and ministers, had contended that the selected route through North Nashville would destroy the Negro business community, separate Negro educational institutions and "irreparably harm the North Nashville community." Concerning the two major points raised by the committee, the court said there was no proof of racial discrimination in the selection of the proposed route and the hearing conducted on the project was similar to those conducted in other counties. ALTHOUGH THE court agreed with Gray's finding that consideration given to the total effect of the expressway on North Nashville was "inadequate," the panel criticized the committee for waiting so long to contest the route. it was raised Sunday was in cluded in the death count. from the chilling, 40-foot deep water.
