[This act provides for the raising of money for highway purposes and for grade crossing elimination, and the issuance of bonds of the state therefor in the amount of eighty-three million dollars.

The act was submitted to the voters of the state at the general election held in November 1930, and was officially declared adopted on December 2, 1930.]
