Texans push for five year highway funds fight
Long item details Texas road advocates led by R Le Bobbitt and the Texas Good Roads Association planning a December 17 Austin meeting to rally against Roosevelt’s proposal to cut 1939 federal highway aid by almost half. The piece cites potential loss of over 191 million and argues federal gasoline taxes exceed road needs, while Texas leaders mount a Christmas campaign to influence Congress. It also mentions political figures like Lt. Gov. Walter Woodul and potential opponents, plus local club news and a brief note on clothes moth experiments.
