New Orleans Study Opposes Most Major Constitutional Bond Plan
A New Orleans research bureau opposed nine of 24 constitutional proposals including a 14 million dollar bond issue for a second Mississippi River bridge, a traffic tunnel, and road work. It backed four proposals such as New Orleans home rule and the Lake Pontchartrain highway. The group, funded by local citizens, urged voting on individual issues rather than package deals. Proceeds would come from six cents of the current nine cent gasoline tax, yielding over two million dollars yearly.
