Legislative notes on Missouri road funds and bills
A long summary notes heated hearings on the Highway Department, 13 counties receiving most road money, and a 1.5 million good roads fund largely spent. It discusses auto purchases, a 25 000 grant for Spanish American and World War medals, a Farmers Club luncheon in Jefferson City, county boundary annexation debates around St Louis, many bills to create offices or raise salaries, and proposed highway plans to connect counties with 400 per mile annually for three years funded by federal and county taxes. Sullivan and Linn counties could gain about 36 000 yearly if the proposed measure passes.
