State aid plan could finance $50 million highway upgrade
An Illinois speech argues highways are public property and urges a state aid program. By using a two mill state tax over ten years and bond issues, half the $50,000,000 cost could be covered, funding extensive road construction without crippling farm taxes. The plan aims to connect towns from Galena to Cairo and boost farm value, with farmers paying about 10 cents per acre per year.
