November 9, 1926. there vii be no
further federal aid for roads iu
Arkansas, unless the state legisla-
ture IN the meantime has changed
the existing laws 20 conform with
requirements Of the Federal High
way act.
This information is contained in
a letter 20 Gov. dcRae from Score
tary Of Agriculture Wallace, who
advised the Governor that the laws
and constitution Of Arkansas do not
fully comply with federal require
ments and that he could not there
fore. approve the governors certi-
ficate, that the state IS entitled TO

The greatest difficulty in the
States laws and constitution IS that
the powers Of supervision by the
state highway department are not
broad enough, according 60 the sec
retary's letter.
Wallace closes the letter with the
following suggestion
1T Is suggested that steps should
