Senate Bill Approved to Aid Alabama Flood Damage Roads
A Senate bill proposing 1 660 000 dollars to aid Alabama highways and bridges damaged by the 1920 floods clears the House Roads Committee. The measure, amended to limit funds to roads and bridges, would require no state match and would use federal aid plus the requested amount. Governor Graves urged early passage, saying it halves flood damage to federal roads and would accelerate highway program completion. Col Woolsey Finnell and Rep Ed Aaron backed the measure in Washington and Montgomery.
