Alberta Motor Association pushes federal aid for western highways
Northern directors of the Alberta Motor Association advocate a vigorous federal highway aid campaign with provincial leaders AB Mackay and Pred Bragon present. A $9,000,000 request over five years is proposed to fund western road projects and boost tourism, aiming to base grants on mileage rather than a fixed allocation. The plan follows a 1919 federal grant now exhausted and seeks fairness for prairie provinces.
