State Highway Department Near End Of New Funds
Harrisburg, June 29. Completion of this year's highway program will leave the State Department of Highways without funds for additional mileage in 1927. Acting secretary William H. Connell said funds will run out after the 1,200 miles added by the 1925 act are taken over and current bonds and federal aid are exhausted. The department will seek to take over roads as funds permit, with motor receipts and faseline tax covering maintenance and debt service. The system will total about 2,800 miles of earth roads excluding the 1,200 miles added earlier.
