Bill Aids Acad Building in Interstate Road Survey Plan
A proposal in Congress, introduced by Senator Hobson of Georgia, would authorize the director of the office of public roads to conduct a general survey of interstate highways, identify trunk lines, and estimate costs for improvements. The bill urges federal state cooperation, with states and road districts contributing half of construction and maintenance costs. The secretary of agriculture would approve funding and ensure post and rural routes are included in county surveys.
