Jamieson Officials Plan To Trim $40 Million From Projects
ST PAUL AP Highways Commissioner John R Jamieson will meet with district engineers to cut 40 million from Minnesota highway projects for six months due to President Johnsons order slowing highway fund allocations. 27.3 million in interstate and 12.2 million in trunk highway work will be deferred. Federal funds cover 90 percent of interstate and half of trunk highway costs. Jamieson warned further cutbacks are possible and noted 2.4 million in spot safety and resurfacing work on 240 miles may proceed. The shortage could drive a 1967 bonding push or higher fuel taxes, with most legislators favoring bonds.
