Arkansas House Approves Highway Funding Bills
The Arkansas House adopted three bills to provide 2 million dollars immediately and 2 to 3 million dollars annually for county highways. One bill uses 7 million dollars of available highway funds for construction and maintenance with 1 million to counties. Another would allocate 1 million from surplus funds for school bus and rural mail routes, enabling immediate availability.

The measure passed 74 to 19 amid objections over a separate budget item and continued on to Page Two.
