L. S. TO PROBE ROAD
AWARDS IN OKLAHOMA

Investigation of charges that state
roads commissions in certain states
have been influenced by political con-
sideration and favoritism," in the lay
ing out of roads which are to share in
federal aid, was requested of the sec
retary of agriculture in resolution
submitted by Senator Harreld of Ok
lahoma. The resolution requests that
the charge be investigated with par
ticular respect to conditions in Okla
homa.
The resolution states that charges
have been made in Oklahoma to the
effect that because of political in
fluence and favoritism roads have
been laid out in some counties to the
disadvantages of others. and that as
a result some counties have been dis
criminated against in the distribution
of federal aid as based on an equitable
apportionment.

Valuations had not been certified to

instituted, consequently many school
districts will be short of funds when

this will interfere materially with the

the matter will be settled before any
