Georgia Leads South in Maintaining Roads

Barnett of Atlanta, head of the State Highway Commission, says Georgia’s highways are better kept than those of any Southern state and predicts that within two years all main highways will be paved to connect major cities. He notes current funding issues but cites $3.1 million in emergency money and $2 million in federal aid for Georgia next year, with federal funds boosting employment and road work. He expects further support from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for road projects.
