things to come before the commission
up until this afternoon. A large dele
cation from Reno county visited the
meeting with proof that no further
obstruction is in the way of the con-
structon of highways near Hutchin-
son, which for a time were blocked by
an attempt to enjoin construction
Another delegation from Morris
county came in with a petition to
route the proposed road between
Council Grove and Parkerville along
the Neosho' valley This makes a
change in the original petitions, it is
said.
The Reno delegation also called on
CO Jern9r Allen while here, and in
formed him of the decision of the
court denying an injunction against
their highway improvements. The de-
cision was one of the most important
ones bearing on highway construction
in years, and had the requested re-
straining order been granted it would
have furnished a precedent with which
road improvements all over the state
could have been blocked

344 MILLIONS TO Be SPENT

Washington, April Adoption of
the plans to expedite highway con-
struction under the enlarged program
recently authorized by congress are
expected TO result in more miles of
roads being constructed this year than
in anv previous year in the nations
history, Secretary of Agriculture HoCs-
ton announced in a statement issued
today. If all states take advantage
of the opportunity offered and make
available for road building sums
equal to those appOrtioned by federal
road officials a total Of $343, 500, 900
may be expended.
As the result of a conference March
1 between the secretary of highway
commissioners of eastern and middle
western states the department OF aSri-
culture thru the bureau of public roads
has taken up with the railroad admin
istration the question of freight rates
which are represented as being one
of the principal obstacles in the way
of active resumption of highway build
ing. the matter is under consideration
by government railway officials and a
decision is expected soon Secretary
Houston also has taken up with Sec
rotary of War Baker the question of
releasing from the army highway en-
gineers in order that their services may
be utilized
In discussing the federal act Score
tary Houston points out that it places
only three limitations on the types of
roads TO be constructed These are:
That the roads shall be substantial
in character: that the amount con-
tributed from the federal treasury in
connection with any road shall not ex-
coed $4,000 a mile and that the road
must be a rural post road" AS de-
fined in the act as amended under the
original wording of the law federal
funds could be expended only upon
roads upon which the mails now are,
or. hereafter be transported" The
definition of the term post roads"
now has been changed in such a way
that very few important roads will be
debarred from receiving federal aid if
all the requirements of the act are
complied with
