Bourne Plan for Good Roads Advocates Federal Aid
Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr presents a plan to the Joint Committee on Federal Aid in the Construction of Post Roads. It aims to spend pennies per year for fifty years to improve and maintain roads across several states. A sinking fund would repay state indebtedness, while the federal government covers costs through a two cent per dollar contribution to road construction. The plan would share no new state burden if debt remains under 10 percent of assessed property value. Connecticut would receive about 8.7 million dollars.

Bridge Bonding Bill Passes House With Amendments
The bridge bonding bill cleared the House yesterday with two amendments. One removes Clifford B Wilson from consideration placing spending in the mayor’s hands if law. The second requires an automatic referendum at the November election before any bonds are issued. The measure funds a State Street bridge for a million dollars and bundles it with Stratford Avenue bridge bonds, a tactic seen as boosting votes but possibly killing both proposals.
