Million of No Use Says Skene Over Highway Funds
State Engineer Skene notified Governor Hughes that the Legislature allocated only 1,000,000 for highway work this summer. He argued that sum is useless since constitutional and legal requirements mandate an equitable county distribution, and 1,000,000 spread statewide would yield only 1 to 3 miles per county. Senator Grady’s bill provides 3,000,000 with 1,000,000 available now and 2,000,000 in October. Albany report dated April 23.
