Work of Highway Commission.


Highway projects that have not
yet passed by the State Highway
Commission for approval will very
likely be held in allegiance until the
Federal government has made some
arrangement for the continuation
of the appropriation that has sup
pIemented State and county funds
for road work. The limit of Fed
eral apportionment has been reach
ed in the state, end slightly ex3
ceeded, according to Mr.. Frank Page,
chairman of the commission.
Present appropriations from the
United States treasury are made un-
til June 8, 1921, and so far congress
has taken no steps to supplement
the present appropriation witha
money that will continue the work
after that time. Some states have
not yet approached the limit set fol
them by the Federal road Legislation
but the North Carolina commission
has been considerably more active
