FEDERAL ROAD AID
Its Feared That Amount viii Be
Reduced This Year


Uncle San. may contribute only
$4,000 this year, against S2.S40,-
900 each previous year and expect
ed again, toward the Babcock Plan
to build better roads around Man
kato and in other sections of Minn-
esota. That Is the report from
Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, and ]. H. Mullen,
assistant commissioner and chief
highway engineer, who are now re-
turning from Washington.
Congress late last fall voted en:
ergency highway aid of which Min
nesota received $142o,000 for the
winter work program to relieve un-
employment The state officials
report now that unless action is
taken this month that sum repres-
enting only half the federal aid
granted in. previous years, probably
will be the full allowance for the
present government year and the
program will be slowed up In that
extent. The highway department
nevertheless is pushing plans to go
on with road bettermens as rapid
ly as funds become available. The
auto tax enforcement is bringing in
additional money it is said, al
though the total collections will not
Offset the possible federal aid re-
duction.
Commissioners Babcock and Null
len travelled East by automobile to
inspect highway building in several
states They found that mainten-
ance patrolmen are being employed
in other states to an extent that

which the commission ordered rate
reductions averaging 16 percent.
The reductions took effect in Janu-

corn and coarse grain 10 percent
lower than the new rates on wheat.
Now the railroads have asked the
commission to abolish this differ
entail between wheat and coarse
grain in the territory west of the
mississippi river and east of Ell
Paso and Denver.
The coarse grain differential in
wolves approximately $4,000, 900 and
1t is this amount that the American

to save the shippers Of hay and
1t is the position of the American
Farm Bureau Federation that rates
on coarse grain were generally low

terrHory prior to federal control and
tored the old relationship.
An organized fight Will be made
against any increase in freight
