TO USE FEDERAL ROAD AID
Government Support VIII Be Given to
Kansas Counties.

Kansas will be permitted to use
federal aid for road building in spite
of her laws and a limitation in the
state constitution. Federal officials
have notified the state highway COM
mission that government support will
be given Kansas counties during the
next three years and limitation as to
the right of the state to participate
directly will be waived.
The controversy regarding federal
aid for Kansas roads has continued
over a period of nearly a year At
one time a special session of the leg
islature was considered for the pur-
pose of amending the state statutes.
Now, it appears. the question will be
waived and the need of an amendment
to the laws checked up to the next
legislature.
