Rural Light Bill Delayed in Senate Action
Washington February 26 Senate action on the 1 007000000 rural electrification bill delayed a week as leaders push to reduce the measure to President Roosevelt’s wishes. Majority Leader Anlloson Ark and Sen Narcis RaNobo agreed to postpone debate until Wednesday amid opposition signs. The bill would authorize Congress to appropriate 100 million dollars annually for ten years for loans to states and cooperatives to finance rural electrification projects. Supporters argue it funds nationwide power lines, while critics say the authorization could be trimmed. The opposition centers on how the Rural Electrification Administration would distribute funds among states, municipalities, farm cooperatives, and private individuals or corporations.
