Northwestern Turnpike Board Seeks Control Over Bridge Plan
A letter to The Star argues the Northwestern Turnpike should remain under state oversight rather than local boards. It notes a 1914 Legislature action placing turnpike control with the State Corporation Commission and a board of managers to aid the Highway Commissioner. The authors defend bridge plans for Hogue Creek, backed by a federal good roads engineer, and criticize local reluctance to finance the project, asking why the Northwestern and Valley turnpikes differ in control.
