Federal Funds Ready
For Kentucky Roads

Nearly 100000 of federal funds
will be available during the three
years beginning July l to assist in
the construction of state roads in
Kentucky. In order to obtain these
funds the state must match the ap-
preparations with equal amounts and
construct roads which meet with the
approval of the federal authorities,
both with regard to location and the
manner of construction.
Practically all roads planned so far
in Kentucky have met with the APP
proval of the federal authorities,
and with the manifest spirit of high
way improvement in the state there
is no doubt whatever that the full
amount OF Kentucky's allotment will
be available and used in the con-
struction of the new state highway
system.
The amount apportioned to Ken
lucky for the year beginning July
is $944,7S6, and for the two succeed
ing years it will be about $1,750,O00,
aggregating nearly $4,OO0,OO0 for the
three years.
