Senator White L Moss cites Florida road bonds and tourist revenue to argue per capita funding. Citrus County approved a 750000 bond for roads with about 150 per resident, while Polk County backed 2000000 earlier and later 3000000 for roads. Pinellas plans 3275000 for 500 miles of paving, and Jacksonville officials estimated 1922 25 tourist season revenue exceeding 300000000, suggesting Kentucky could match Florida gains with similar roads funding.
