Sacramento -- Federal cuts in the national road building program will cost California more than 5 million dollars in highway funds. Public Works Director C. H. Purcell said the loss, combined with rising costs, slows the highway program for the first time since 1947. California had expected 25.7 million from the federal government but Congress reduced the program by 83 million, cutting California’s share by 5.68 million. The state will have 14.278 million for primary roads and 9.747 million for city roads, with another 5.197 million restricted. County road funding will also be restrained, though California will still receive 4.02 million more than the prior year due to population growth, the net effect being swamped by higher highway construction costs.
