Federal cutback threatens Pennsylvania highway funds
Henry D. Harral, outgoing secretary of highways, warned that a prolonged federal cutback could prevent Pennsylvania from funding interstate settings for the first half of 1967 without borrowing. He cited a $75 million balance through June 30, 1967, against estimated January to June interstate needs of $107 million, proposing the cutback be reversed to avoid large gaps in funding.
