Can't Compel County Repair Of Its Roads
The Court of Appeals ruled mandamus proceedings cannot force county commissioners to repair specific roads. It held road construction and repair are discretionary, not mandatory, and such actions depend on available funds and priorities. The decision, written by Judge Ogle Marbury, upheld the Montgomery County case where two roads were deemed unsafe but not mandatorily required to be repaired immediately.

Fight To Cut Farm Bill Funding Collides In Senate
May 18 Washington reports two test votes fell short as lawmakers battled to pare the 680 million dollar agriculture appropriation. A 25 million boost for the Farm Security Administration was approved 48 to 16 to aid rural rehabilitation loans and grants. The Senate also increased borrowing authority for FSA from 70 million to 125.9 million from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Byrd and McKellar led the opposition, while Bankhead Russell Pepper and others defended the FSA administrator as a patriotic advocate for distressed farmers. A separate vote rejected a 3.2 million reduction in Department of Agriculture travel funds, with a compromise saving 3.5 million. A clash over travel cuts sparked charged exchanges about efficiency and accountability.
