Frederick County Road Bill Seeks Local Control and Funds
Mr Luckey of Frederick county introduces in the House a substitute for the Shoemaker Wood Roads Act. The measure would allocate 90000 annually from the State Treasury to counties by miles of public roads, with two thirds upland owners able to petition for improvement. County commissioners could fund surveys if state funds fall short, and use local materials. Road Engineer Abler supports the local build approach.
