Cameron Favors A Separate Agency For Highways
Washington May 27. North Carolina highway officials endorsed the Townsend 200 million dollar good roads bill and Cameron of the North Carolina commission urged a separate highway commission as proposed by Townsend. He argued state rights in highways should be observed but federal funds should be spendable on designated highways. Maryland's Peter C Perlman also backed the Townsend bill and proposed amendments to limit Maryland's 28 million spent on 1700 miles of improved roads. He said the federal commission should not force specific road widths as a condition of aid.
