[Letter from Truett Latimer to Joe Cooley, June 8, 1959]
Letter from Truett Latimer to Joe Cooley discussing Latimer's support for House Bill 16, which would transfer financing of the Farm to Market Road Program from the General Revenue Fund to the Highway Fund. Latimer writes that the funds the General Revenue Fund give to the program could be better spent on the operation of the state government whereas the Texas Highway Department would not miss the $30 million the program costs per biennium. He agrees that there needs to be a reappraisal of the program in the House but that they do not have the votes to do it at this time.
