State would lose huge road fund if federal aid is withdrawn
Washington reports that Georgia faces about 6 million dollars less highway income for 1984 if federal aid ends. Georgia Highway Commission member Jud Wilhoit said prospects for continuing aid are remote as House leaders oppose new funding. A reduction in auto license fees could cut 2 million more. Last year Georgia's highway department spent about 19 million, with funds diverted to Railroads and a prison farm. Wilhoit also sought a 300000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for a Savannah River bridge project between Sylvania and Allendale.

Farm mortgage relief moves toward national issue
Washington January 11 farm mortgage relief bills led by Senator Walter George and Representative Cox of Georgia move toward national action. Proposals authorize direct loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation if farmers agree to reduce mortgage debt by half. Debates focus on workability and taxpayer burden as 60 percent of mortgaged farms are appraised sound for investors and 40 percent are not. Arbitration boards in counties may aid debtors and creditors to avoid dispossession while preserving farmer equity. Hearings on the George Cox bill are expected soon.
