Mr Schotte explained that highway money comes from the gas tax and bond sales while license plate revenue goes to counties. He estimated a need of about 5 million dollars to meet federal aid, noting about half could come from repealing the tax refund. Robert Walker chaired the program and John Hazen spoke for the golf committee about a junior tournament this season.
