Proposed Harrisburg Reading war road plan in Dauphin County
Dauphin County would gain thirteen miles of the Harrisburg Reading war road section of the William Penn highway. A conference with Highway Commissioner J Denny O Neil is set within ten days to discuss concrete foundations and top layers. Estimated cost at 30 000 dollars per mile could total 390 000 dollars with half funded by the county and the remainder by boroughs and townships if the county borrows against its 1916 tax base. Committees from Lebanon and Dauphin counties will interview the Highway Commissioner to advance the proposal.
