tant reports from the board of gov

be asked to decide what their attitude
is toward the proposed national high
way system. The organization has
been asked to name members to serve
upon the federal highway council. The
council is backing the Townsend bill
to establish national highway sys-
TEN. to create federal highway COM
mission, and to encourage efficient
and economical highway transporta-
tion. The bill would take the high
ways out of the hands of the agricul-
tural department and place them in
TIE hands of federal highway COM
mission to be appointed by the presi-
dent. 1t provides for the construction
Of national highways in each state.

the United States and the roads to be
reconstructed, improved. repaired,

pense of the United States.
