gress several years, and demand for
some federal participation in road
building is getting stronger.
The Shackleford bill in its pres
ent form provides that not over s25,.
00O, 900 a year shall be appropriated
to be distributed among the states
in the ratio Of their population and
OF their mileage of country roads ov'
er which mails are carried. Thus
Maine would get s276,O0O year,
New York 1854 900, Kansas $747, 900
and so on. The money is to be ex-
pended by the state highway depart.
ment, building roads selected by the
state and approved by the Secretary
OF Agriculture; and the federal con-
tribution shall not be less than 80
nor over SO per cent of the cost. The
effort Of course is to encourage es-
pecially the construction of the best
types of road, and to provide object
lessons in the construction. Twenty
five millions a year would not go far
but it might induce states and coun-
ties to renewed effort in order to in
sure that they would get their share
of the federal generosity
