as Michigan's share of Uncle Sans
Two Hundred Million Dollar appro-
priation to be used in main market
highway construction in the various
states. To get this Seven Million,
Michigan must put up like sum. 1t
is pointed out by the representatives
OF the legislature that, to get this
Seven Million, the state either must
impose direct tax or issue bonds and
to spread a direct tax big enough to
cover Uncle Sans offer Of Federal aid
for the ensuing two years would mean
too great a burden. 1t will be ex-
planned by the Representatives and
