Sproul highway bill sparks Pennsylvanian opposition
A Philadelphia Press critique labels the Sproul highway bill as a costly, graft prone plan.

It warns of spoils-system appointments and biased contract letting harming honest builders. The piece condemns the measure as a corrupt expedient backed by political machines.
