Roads Men Will Push Selling Bill In Senate
Washington news from Waterloo Evening Courier reports proponents of continuing federal highway aid push the Sells bill, proposing 100 million dollars for fiscal year 1922, 50 50 apportionment, and allowing unspent funds to be kept for states unable to claim shares. The bill faces opposition from Rep Dunn who chairs the roads committee, with critics arguing states will lack time to use existing appropriations. If enacted, the measure would spur rapid road construction across many states ahead of March 4 deadlines.
