ROAD UNITS SHORT SHRIFTED ON FED FUNDS FROM NEW PUBLIC WORKS ACT

Road and street departments across the country for the most part are not reaping any great benefits from federal funds being made available through the recent Public Works, Employment, and Revenue Sharing Acts. The article reports on a survey of how governmental units are being affected by the new acts and how the federal funds are being put to use. Fourteen survey respondents report they have received little or no federal funds through the acts for construction, maintenance, equipment purchases, etc. , and expressed great disappointment in not having projects approved for such funding.
