Details of Cuts in
Highway Measures

The reductions made in the high
way bills before they reached the
House yesterday reduced the ag-
gregate appropriations in the gem
eral construction and maintenance
bill of the Highway Department
from $13,67S,730.57 to $1O,S42,-
049.3S. The item for construction
of State highways was reduced from
$6,000,000 to S5,0OO,O0O; the item
for maintenance and repair of
highways through boroughs from
$1,000,O00 to 100000; for mainte-
nance and repair of State-aid high
ways from 100000 to 100000 and
for purchase of turnpikes and toll
bridges from $1,000,000 to $780,
900. The department found an err
ror in it's estimates for payment of
the deficiency in the construction
and maintenance of roads in second
class townships, thus allowing re-
duction in this amount from ST.
S5S, S,730.57 to SLAP, ,049.3S.
This bill, with the measure ap-
propriating $3,62e,000 for the pay
ment of salaries and expenses of
the Highway Department, were re-
ported to the House by Chairman
McCaig yesterday.
