Eisenhower signs $33 billion highway bill with tax hike
President Eisenhower signed the massive highway construction bill as Secretary Weeks released funds for early projects. The plan aims to create up to 630,000 jobs in summer and spurs business along routes including motels and gas stations while relocating some existing businesses. A one cent increase in the federal gasoline tax takes effect Sunday to fund the pay-as-you-go program.
