Washington county road funds unused and bond allotment aid
Mr J W Martin asks how much of Washington county primary road funds should have been used and if a failed bond issue would divert funds. The answer: none used elsewhere. The state highway commission takes over after July 4 with power to place funds, but about $400000 from 1926 three year program remains unused and will likely be used to finish the program while building four bridges.
