Highway Work 15 To Be Pushed Along
State funds for roads face reductions with Governor Brumbaugh approving most of the Legislature’s $8 400 000 Highway Department appropriation but trimming several items. Cuts include turnpike purchase costs from 300 000 to 250 000 and Cumberland Road repairs from 100 000 to 50 000. Engineers travel and survey budgets also shrink, with tag purchases and plotting funds reduced. Sentences jailed for cigarrete thefts at the Pennsy freight station include Miller Rose Wilder and others.
