Missouri Good Roads Measures Pass Legislature
Jefferson City May 10 News from the Missouri Senate reports approval of most road laws by the Forty-seventh General Assembly. Carter’s measure to equalize good roads funds was vetoed. The Carter amendment would impose a new levy on the hundred-dollar valuation to fund road improvements, expected to raise about 1.8 million dollars for distribution among counties. A drag-rail road bill, funded at 225,000 dollars, and a state highway department were created to supervise construction, with annual drain on the road fund. A poll tax provision, revised benefit assessments, and a detailed classification of Missouri roads were also enacted. Governor Major has yet to appoint the highway commissioner.
