Would Change
Road Standard
REPRESENTATIVE R. H. BAILEY
WOULD HAVE MORE LIBER-
AL PROGRAM IN IDAHO
(From Lewiston Tribunel

R. H. Bailey. representative from
Clearwater county, was in the city
yesterday enroute to Spokane on a
business trip.
Mr., Bailey is very much interest
ed in state highway building, es-
pecially the federal aid projects
eral standard than that demanded
by the national government in Ida
no. Federal aid projects demand a
certain type of construction aA
width of road, which can be built
in eastern states, where road build
ing is not difficult, at far less cost
than in Idaho, where the country is
mostly mountainous. In comparison
a certain appropriation by the fed
eral government for the state of Ida
no would not cover as much ground
as it would in Iowa, or some other
middle western state where the to-
biography of the country is more
| favorable Hence. it is argued, the
standard should be lowered in this
state, in order that federal appropri-
ations may cover road building over
more extensive territory.
MT. bdllet points W idct lndl Is
not generally known, that Idaho has
larger area than the state of
Washington, this state having APP
proXimately $4,000 square miles
while Washington has around $1,000
On the other hand Seattle alone has
nearly the population of the Gem
state, and when the federal govern
ment attempts to spread appropria-
tions for road building in the differ
ent states according to population
the money spent in Idaho must be
distributed on projects that are few
and far between, in order to keeI
up the standard set by the nationa
government
With this in mind Mr.. Bailey in
tends to use his efforts toward hay
ing the federal government rela,
somewhat on its standard of high
way construction as regards thi
state. with the end in view tina
more miles of federal aid highwa!
can be built.
