Bill Advances To Secure Towns Federal Highway Aid
Draft legislation aims to preserve Towns annual federal highway aid of 2,000,000 after November 9, 1926. The proposal targets highway commission authority over primary road constructors and removes public treasurer duties by placing state funds under a 2 percent interest levy until a 500,000 to 1,000,000 fee is created. Funds would cover losses and sureties with no personal bonds required, addressing costly bonding company payments exceeding 400,000 yearly.
