The delegations from Chester and Ian
caster counties also made application
to the State Highway commission for
Federal aid on the proposed bridge
across the Catawba; but owing to lack
OF funds no aid on this project will be

probable that the project will be ap-
proved in due season. Lack of funds
at this time also forbids any share OF
