Montana Referendum 35 May 5 Aims At Highway Debt Plan
Montana voters set to decide Referendum 35 on May 5 to authorize $6,000,000 in warrants backed by future five cent gasoline tax revenues. Officials say the move will save over $7,000,000 in federal funds, accelerate the federal state highway system by 1934, and create about 3,000 jobs while maintaining the tax rate. Friedrich Kurz, Swiss painter, notable for documenting early Montana history, is also profiled with notes on his journey and cholera-era travels.
