Rebuffs by Tal theme in Georgia road dispute
Washington reports Representative Cox condemns both Governor Tal mage and Georgia highway officials over the federal road program. Thomas H. MacDonald says state engineering is inadequate to handle vast funds, while Cox urges peace and warns Georgia’s people pay. With $19,000,000 in federal road money locked, fate of the funds hangs on policy and possible shift to counties or cities.
