New Roads Bill Would Chart $2 Million for New York
Washington reports Congressman Brownlow of Tennessee has proposed a good roads bill that would allocate about $2,000,000 to New York from a $20,000,000 program. The measure envisions a Bureau of Public Roads with a director and staff costing $75,000 annually and imposes shared funding between federal and state bodies with a 20 percent holdback until completion. If enacted, New York would need an equal state appropriation signed by Governor Odell.
