iifo. ON 81 solid foundation"
This advice was sounded by Thomas
n. Mcdonald. chief OF tho bureau
OF public roads OF the agriculture
department
Asserting that the United states
is seurtlng out to construct sys-
tom OF highways such as no nation
even cunstruCtcd before, Mcdonald
declared this great undertaking II
being entered into "bccduse high
ways are not luxury. but furnish

p1clty and have become national
necessity" The nearest approach 10
the titanic highway construction
contemplated by the United States,
according to Mcdonald, Is found in
France and Germany. and the area
Of neither Is as large as Texas
"For such an undertaking TO be
successful" Mcdonald said, "finan-
cling 10 care for maintenance, re-
construction ana new construction

cost az 20 how the funds can be

use made of tho highways and the
ocrvice rendered by them have
changed greatly within the last few
years"
Mcdonald estimated that OF the
$500, 100000 spent for highways last
year 90 per cont was federal aid
and motor-yehlcle revenue. The re-
naming 81 per cent, he said. came
either directly or will eventually be
