Illinois road meeting and the Tice bill discussions
January 13 Springfield hosted a lively public forum under the Illinois Highway Improvement association with about 600 attendees from business, agriculture, and civic groups. The debate centered on the forthcoming Tice bill creating a state highway department, state funded roads, uniform construction standards, and 50 percent cost sharing for state aid projects, with farmers voicing concerns over taxes but supporters arguing it would raise land values and improve rural markets.
