STATE AID
FROM j. 5.
Government
WISCONSIN'S SHARE TO BE OVER
S15,OOO,OOO

Congressman Edward E. Browne, of
Wisconsin, member of the Committee
of Public Roads, has introduced a bill
aDpropriating $60O,O0O,0O0, for roads.
This bill is introduced as an amend
ment to the present Federal Aid Road
Act, under which $75,000,000, was APP
ending 1921
The bill provides for the States and
their political subdivisions paying an
equal amount with the United States
Government for highway work on the
federal aid roads.
Congressman Browne argues, in
justification of his bill, that the United
States and the several States should
at once enter upon an extensive pro-
gram for the improvement of our
highways, that it will give employ
ment to our men in the war industries
that will soon be out of employment
war and will also give employment
to the soldiers when our armies are
demobilized, besides making a great
and necessary public Improvement,
which should have been undertaken a
great many years ago.
President Wilson is quoted in his
last message wherein he urges that
the public interest require the i'm
mediate construction of highways by
Federal Aid.
Allotments To Wisconsin
Under the Browne Bill, Wisconsin
would receive in an aggregate of
over $15,000,000, in the next six years
which with the appropriations by the
State and its political subdivisions,
would mean the expenditure of over
S3OO00,000, on the Federal Highways
of Wisconsin.
The bill apportions the money the
same as the last Federal Aid Law as
follows: One-third in the ratio which
the area of each State bears to the
total area of all the States; one-third
in the ratio which the population of
each State bears to the total popula
ton of all the States as shown BY the
latest Federal Census; one-third in
the ratio which the mi1age or rural
delivery routes in each State bears
to the total milage of rural delivery
routes and star routes in all the States
at the close of the next proceeding
fiscal year, as shown by the certificate
of the Postmaster General which he
is directed to make and furnish annual
" to the Secretary of Agriculture.

The manner of apportioning this ap-
preparation is very fair to all the
States and esDecially to the average
AGRICULTURAL State, like Wisconsin.
Congressman Browne urged the
different County Boards in Wisconsin
to petition the last legislature to
change the manner of apportioning
funds from the apportionment that
Wisconsin formerly had, according to
the value of property in each county
to the same manner of apportionment
provided by the Federal Law. The
last legislature acted upon this sug-
gestion and adopted the apportion-
nlent used by the Federal Govern
ment, which was more fair and equi-
table than that provided in the former
State Highway Bill. 1t is understood
that the U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment and the u S. Highway Depart
ment are supporting the Browne Bill
