Improvement of Roads by State and Township Action
A Harrisburg committee reports a reform bill for road making in Pennsylvania townships. It calls for three Road Commissioners per township with Road Masters to oversee work. Farmers must declare by mid April if they will work taxes or have Road Masters appoint others. If work is unsatisfactory, taxes are collected. A portion of township tax would fund permanent road improvements, with state and county matching fractions as miles are built. The plan aims to spur local effort with state aid only when roads prove improvement. The article notes questions about using state surplus for road building.
