FEAR A DECREASE in
FEDERAL ROAD FUNDS
Mmnesota Officials: Concerned
Over / soa.a.ibility of a New
VII Cut in Funds

Uncle Sam may contribute only
81 ,42O, 900 this year, against $2,-
$40, 900 each previous year and ex-
pected again, toward the Babcock
plan to build better roads around
Bemidji and in other sections of
Minnesota. That is the report from
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, and J. H. Mullen, as
sistant commissioner and chief high
way engineer, who are now return
ing from Washington.
Congress late last fall voted emer-
gency highway aid of which Mime
sofa received $1,420,000 for the
winter work program to relieve I'M
employment. The state officials re-
port now that unless action is taken
this month, that sum representing
only half the federal aid granted in
previous years, probably will be the
full allowance for the present gov
eminent year, and the program will
be slowed up to that extent.
The highway department, never
theless, is pushing plans to 60 on
with road betterments as rapidly as
funds become available. The auto
tax enforcement is bringing in addi-
tional money, it is said, although the
total collections will not offset the
possible federal aid reduction.
Commissioners Babcock and Null
len travelled East by automobile to
inspect highway building in several
states. They found that mainte-
nance patrolmen are being employed
in other states to an extent that
Minnesota must fight to retain its
advanced position.
Illinois paving is standing up well,
they reported, but is mainly 16 feet,
against the 18-foot Minnesota stand
ard, and without the widened super
elevated curves or improved drainage
adopted in this state. The Minneso-
ia officials expect to return to St.
Paul late next week.
