Maryland road funding urged to cover upkeep from current receipts
John N. Mackall of the Maryland State Roads Commission told New Orleans highway advisers that maintenance and reconstruction costs should be paid from current receipts. He argued new charges against receipts would curb funds needed for improving Maryland roads, citing auto license fees and gas tax as financing long term bonds. He said Maryland’s construction has relied on bond issues repaid from general taxes, with 1925 maintenance projected to be at least 60 percent higher than construction needs and requiring duplication by 1927.
