| description |
In the first letter, written May 13, 1932, Sterne suggests that "there is no form of relief through public works so quick or that will mean so large a percentage of disbursements for labor as road building." He has noticed that pending legislation does not include money for road work, and he proposes that the governors of Southern states meet to discuss ways to obtain federal funding for such projects. In the second letter, written May 21, 1932, Governor Miller explains that he has contacted the state's congressmen and has urged them to work for legislation with road building appropriations. While he encourages Sterne to write other governors about the subject, he does not plan to call a conference himself. |
