The Joint Congressional Committee of Agricultural Inquiry urges continued highway construction and maintenance to link road, rail, and water transport for rural areas.

It envisions promising interurban lines serving rural communities and calls for uniform motor vehicle taxation and postal rate readjustments to aid farm publications.
