$2,500,000 Federal Road Funds Aimed at State Projects
Washington May 1 Under a bill passed by the House the United States would distribute more than $2,500,000 for road construction in various states during the next fiscal year. Virginia alone could receive about $1,242,000 in the first year and $1,450,000 the second. Proponents say the measure will ease the road funding crisis by accelerating Federal payments and enabling state highway departments to plan ahead.
