PAY STATESFOR

Federal Compensation for

Sured by Bill.

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 81
States which have expended large
sums in road construction and i'm
provement are assured equitable
compensation for their work un-
der the terms of the highway meas
ure introduced in congress recently
by Charles E. Townsend. United
States senator from Michigan, and
chairman Of the committee on post
offices and post roads.
"Since my first introduction Of
this bill" said Sen. Townsend. Il
have made a study Of the subject
which convinced me that several
changes would be necessary TO in
corporate the constructive sugges-
tons which have been made from
all parts Of the country. One Of the
most important OF these related to
the situation in those states where
large sums Of money have been
made available in the past 10 build
main lines.
Some felt that in the building of
a national system. it would develop
that some OF the states had already
completed in a measure, the high
ways which would form part of
that system and that they should
not be penalized for having been
farsighted and progressive.
Meets Objection.
This objection seemed sound TO
me and I believe that have met it
through the incorporation which
says that where states have already
constructed all or parts Of roads so
located as logically 10 form part
of the national system and 10 a
standard deemed by the commission
to be adequate, that an equivalent
mileage of other highways shall be
constructed by the government or
by the state under governmental
authority.
These additional highways would
not form part of the national sys-
tenn and would not be controlled by
or maintained by the federal gov
eminent but it would be expected
that they would connect or coordi-
nate with the national system. Thus
the double purpose of recompen-
sing the state and developing the
general highway situation would be
accomplished.
