Nugent was also questioned by Lamar County Democratic Chairman Pat Murphy and from the media about his favor of a move to require a $500,000 insurance policy on independent truckers in the state. Nugent said when the railroad commission became aware of the decision of the legislature, it went back into a special session and asked for more discretion. "We moved the weight classification up to 46,000 pounds, which is a pretty heavy truckload for the $500,000. All of the other trucks up to that point now carry the same insurance load that your own car docs," he said. He argued that this move would not place a hardship on independent truckers.

Potholes Continued from Page One of Highways and Public Transportation, said Friday that city streets maintained by the state apparently escaped major damage.

But the condition of the Loop 286 and major highways in the area is still unknown, though problems are expected. "Damage is going to be minimal," he said of streets inside the city. "We don't have any major problems with that end. "There are four or five places on the loop that are moving around. They may settle down (when they dry).

If they do, it'll be one thing; if they don't, it'll be something else." Both city and state crews already been working to remove the sand and gravel put down on streets to improve traction during the bad weather. New jobs Continued from Page One "The Navy wants to be sure they can turn them out," he said. The companies are negotiating for the purchase or lease of the old Stoneville furniture manufacturing facility in Clarksville. The building, in the Clarksville Industrial Park, is leased to Stoneville. Stoneville pulled out of Clarksville in late 1986, taking away more than 200 jobs.

If the deals can be made, the new industry would bring about 204 jobs to Red River County during the first two years of operation, according to County Judge L.D. Williamson. More jobs could open up later, he said. "We lost 235 (jobs) when Stoneville closed down. We lost 100 more when Mulberry Lumber Co.

closed. "So 200 would certainly help. It would put us back about halfway where we were.".
