House panel juggles plan to fund interstate roads
Rep. Fallon proposes a Democratic substitute to Eisenhower’s road plan. It would raise motor fuel taxes and other levies to fund about 33 billion dollars in road work over 14 years, replacing the bond financed system. The plan seeks 24 billion for cross country interstate work and 11 billion for other roads, with gasoline tax rising to 3 cents per gallon and diesel to 6 cents, plus tire and tube tax hikes.
