Complications in Taylor Road Result New Law
Attorney Walter H Bennett, president of the Quincy Taylor Road Corporation, calls a Wednesday noon meeting at Hotel Quincy to report on Missouri road law changes. The Morgan McCulloaugh dirt road act caps state road work, requiring 50 miles per county or 6000 statewide at 1200 dollars per mile, with cost sharing via security and federal aid. Bennett proposes the state fund 1200 per mile for six to seven miles West Quincy to Taylor, with federal aid covering half the cost. precise figures depend on surveys, laws, specs, and a state agreement before fundraising.
