Minnesota approves state aid for roads by large margin
Complete Minnesota election returns show the state aid amendment passed 70 043 to 88 017. The measure, led by A W Bulletin and championed by A B Choate of Minneapolis for the League of American Wheelmen, follows an active educational campaign and support from the Washington bureau. The vote reflects strong farmer support and echoes New Jersey and New York models where state aid shares costs with counties and local taxpayers, enabling durable highways without overburdening farmers.
