Highway Department Wins Round In Fight
In Atlanta the highway department gained a temporary victory by postponing action on a bill that would divert motor vehicle funds from road construction to other uses. The measure, introduced by Rep Davis of Oglethorpe County, faced strong opposition from several speakers who warned it could cripple the highway system and endanger federal aid. The house, by 106 to 86, delayed debate further and ordered 300 copies printed for members. Opponents argued the plan would paralyze state roads and jeopardize millions in federal funding.
