Millions for This State If Highway Bill Becomes Law
State Engineer 1M. Atwood returned from Chicago after attending the American Association of State Highway Officials session. The gathering mourned the death of Lagoa Waller Page, director of the U S Office of Public Works and Rural Engineering, who collapsed at the La Salle hotel lobby and died shortly after. The conference adjourned as tributes flowed, while debate centered on amending the Bankhead highway bill to boost funding for road construction and improvements, with Arizona's allotment rising from about 1.027 million to about 6.222 million over seven years. The plan would distribute funds by area, mileage, and population, a key Western-state objective amid eastern opposition.
