State Mileage Justified by Tax Contributions, Roemer Says
Robert L. Roemer, former executive secretary of the Wisconsin Concrete Paving Association, told the La Crosse Optimist Club that Wisconsin interstate mileage is underfunded relative to taxes paid. He noted 48 percent of state streets and highways will be deficient in 1972 and urged legislative action for more highway funds. He cited Wisconsin’s 452 mile interstate allotment versus Iowa and Minnesota. A film on the system’s progress through 1961 was shown, with completion goals and a projected 41 000 miles total and about 40 billion dollars cost by 1972.
