Roads for Tourists at UP Convention Highlight Growth
The twenty-fifth convention of the Upper Peninsula Road Builders Association closed in Tron Mountain with officials Murray D. Van Wagoner and Louis D. Nims delivering key talks. Nims urged tourist road development while noting 40 percent of Mef funds flow to the UP, and Van Wagoner described a federal priority for employment relief and rapid project start. He cited a Roosevelt highway relief program of 20.6 million dollars for Michigan, aiming to place thousands of workers on highways within sixteen months, with strict labor and funding rules guiding project allocation and a forthcoming white collar study of highway problems.
