Diversion of Funds Debated by Lions Club
At a Lions Club luncheon in the Alexander Hotel secretary J P Lanigan urged a constitutional amendment to prevent diversions of gas tax funds. Of 14 700 000 in annual collections only 3 400 000 remains for state and county road projects while Baltimore City gets 3 000 000 with no strings. He warned that diversions fund state police and bonds and stressed the need for safe roads. The meeting was presided by John H Howard with Spofford away at a district Lions meeting. Lions invited Kiwanis to a Thursday session featuring Drew Pearson at W B.S. Radio in Franklin Court.
