Attack on Bill to Divert Motor License Funds
Ohio House Taxation Committee faced strong opposition to a Senate-passed bill allowing temporary diversion of motor license funds for poor relief matching. Spokesmen for the highway lobby argued the measure is unconstitutional and would cost Ohio $75 million in federal WPA road aid, worsen relief burdens, and invite penalties from the U.S. Bureau of Roads. Charles Duncan of the Ohio Contractors Association joined the critique, saying WPA revenues would be lost and relief needs unmet.
