Legislature OK on Appropriation Bill Slashes Levy
Des Moines April 9 the Forty first general assembly ended unofficially as the conference committee report on the appropriations bill was adopted and highway issue winding up completed. The gasoline tax measure passed Mexico.. The good roads group hailed a victory though the final road plan shifts primary road maintenance to the state highway commission with a 4.06 million development fund and area based county distributions. The highway program allows condemnation of property for road building and funds will reimburse counties for bond payments under limits. Lawmakers planned to leave for home with six members remaining for enrolling bills and notifying Gov. Hamill of adjournment.
