bined federal and state expenditures

$25,000,0O0 was provided from the
| original appropriation in 1915.
"If the states continue to pay more
have in the past" Mr.. Macdonald
said, 'it will be necessary to plan
for construction at the rate of at
least $1OO,oOO,ooO and probably more
each year"

know at least a year i'll advance
What funds are to be available In
order that plans may be made for
future construction, Mr.. Macdonald
said.
UNLESS further federal action is
taken in the coming year" he added,
the states will be left in doubt as
to the future policy of the govern
ment and the amount of money they
must be prepared to spend. Such a
contingency would involve a serious
setback to the progress of road con-
struction and should be avoided by
early congressional action
