system OF roads connecting every
State in the Union.
Southern and middle western road
officials are bitterly opposed to the
measure, and will appear before the
committee to voice their disapproval
The chief protagonists OF the proposed
plan are the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION and the Federal Highway
Council. An active campaign OF pub.
licity has been waged In behalf the
Townsend measure, and considerable
pressure brought to bear upon the
committee for favorable action.

ton in building State systems of roads
and with large appropriations, build
and maintain interstate roads. The
bill provides that two roads OF the
Federal system shall touch each OF
tho As States. Where such roads have
been built already by States, the gov
eminent will take them over at
igure to be agreed upon and main
ain them permanently.
