Missouri Road Plan Questioned by Federal Official
Captain P. St. J. Wilson, acting director of the office of public roads, warned Missouri lawmakers against tying funds to a dirt road plan at 1200 dollars per mile. He noted federal aid could total about six million dollars for road building beginning July 1, with total state and federal outlay near twelve million, and said $1200 a mile is insufficient for drainage grading and bridges. He urged a standard of substantial improvement and cited New York’s failed fixed-price approach as a cautionary example. He criticized Missouri’s pork-barrel past road funding and emphasized practical standards for federal aid projects.
