U. S S Road Bill Would Aid State
A North Carolina highway bill in Congress would authorize 125 million dollars in federal funds for road construction with no state matching requirement. The State Highway Commission urges letters to Senators and Representatives to push enactment, arguing the funding would spur construction, create jobs, and keep crews working. If passed, North Carolina could receive 3 to 5 million for road projects, with prison labor restrictions.
