Federal aid to state road building faces Georgia doubt
The Constitution's Washington analysis discusses a $25,000,000 yearly federal highway aid bill led by Rep. Shackleford of Missouri. It notes two proposal paths, potential Georgia participation limits, Roosevelt’s convict-labor order, and warns Georgia’s delegation to avoid parity issues that could push the state back to private lease road labor while highlighting convict labor as a cash-like contribution.
