Federal Road Aid Provisions Involving Highway Commission
The Shaft bill would give the highway commission general authority over maintenance of primary roads, shifting work from county boards and offering a $4 million federal aid fund plus matching state money to be used for county road improvements under state supervision. If a county board failed to maintain a primary road, the commission could fund improvements to connect with border counties, effectively initiating projects centrally. The legislature also rejected new taxes and many regulatory proposals, maintaining a passive stance on elections, marriage, and various industrial laws, with the lawn legislature noted for killing more bills than enacting laws.
