Aviation fund dies as House refuses grant
Montgom ery March wartime debate over Alabama aviation funding ends with the House killing the Wallace bill to appropriate 15990 annually to the aviation commission. Key opponents cited school funding needs while supporters warned of lag behind other nations in aviation. A separate measure would exempt short haul agricultural trucking from mileage tax and a patrolmen draft bill sparked debate on enforcement and discretion. The session shifts to revenue plans with caucus work and a possible referendum on a broader tax package and alcohol law revisions.
