OF the eleven members Of the House
committee several are avowedly in favor
of federal participation in roads building.
| The attitude of Chairman Henry is an
| unknown quantity, though it is assured
that the hearing will be a thorough one,

sequence of the general adoption Of the
motor-drven vehicle. A municipality

routes and adequately maintain them.

interstate highways to provide for inter-
state communication by road, something
which benefits the country as a whole
and aids materially in effecting solidi-
fed nation. Therein lies the logic of fed
eral participation in national highways
construction and maintenance"
