CHEESEMAN'S BILL RELATING
TO FEDERAL ROADS.

washington, June 27.--After forty
minutes Of heated debate. the House
today passed the Robson road bill,
designed particularly TO keep highways
improved by Federal funds in good
condition.
The vote was 266 to ~
Although supported by majority OF
the House Roads Committee, the bill
was vigorously opposed by Chairman
Thomas B. Dunn and other members,
who argued that it would benefit
sparsely settled States at the expense
OF populous ones.
Representative Samuel Rayburn
Democrat, Texas, declared enforcement
Of the bill would absolutely wreck
the road system OF Texas
Proponents contend the measure
would facilitate development of roads
and benefit farmers especially. Under
the measure States would have three
years in which to establish funds for
maintenance of Federal aid roads.
should a state. after proper notifi-
cation, fail within 100 days TO make
specified improvements Of roads. the
Federal Government would undertake
the work at the States expense, and
until settlement was made. no further
projects for Federal aid construction
in that State would be approved.
The State. instead of counties OF
other SUBJ divisions, would be the unit
in alloting Federal funds, and the
same method of apportienment would
prevail as at present, except that nc
state would receive less than one hall
