Congress Assurance
Of Federal Aid For
Highways Gratifying

Officials of the American Automo-
bile Association are highly gratified
at the action of Congress in assuring
federal aid for highways for the next
two years. The appropriation of $50
100000 authorized by Congress in
November for the fiscal year of 1928
has been included in the deficiency
appropriation bill recently reported
to the House of Representatives..
A fact not generally known is that
an A. A. A. club contributed the first
$4,000 for the promotion of federal
aid to highways, this contribution
being made in 1903. about the time
the first agitation for federal aid was
started. Since that time the A. A. A,
has worked consistently for the fed
eral aid and the fruition of it's plans
and hopes in this connection is most
gratifying.
The Federal Highway Act of 1922
carried an authorization of $50 OOO,-
600 for Federal Aid to highways for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924.
A clause in the Agricultural APP
preparation Bill recently passed by
the House of Representatives carries
for 1924 and obligates the Govern
ment to provide an additional $685.
100000 which may be placed under
contract before the end of the fiscal
year 1924 and which may be paid
out of the Treasury in the three
years following. Thus $50, OOO, 600 is
provided for the current fiscal wear
and $65,OOO,OOO for the fiscal year
These sums have been recon-
mended by the Budget Commissioner
and consequently have the approval
OF the President and the Admins
tration.
Ia November 1922, Congress auth

letters have been received at the
ofllce of the State Highway Commits
sion from selectmen inquiring as to
the provisions of statute relative to
the removal of snow from highways.
In one case the inquiry is raised on
account of the fact that a tractor
and pillow has been run over certain
OF the roads in town for the pur-
pose or making a good automobile
and truck roadway. This proved to
be fine for all classes of traffic until
thaw took the thin coating of snow
Off of the surface of the road and
left it in such shape that sleds and
sleighs could not be operated over il.
In another instance inquiry is
made as to just what the statute
provides for the removal of snow on
town roads.
Letters have gone out from the
office of the Commission to the par
ties making inquiry. to the effect
that Sections 20 and Il of Chapter
"a of the Revised Statues provide
that the road commissioners or mu-
nlcipal officers shall see that snow
is trodden down or removed so as
to render ways blocked or encum-
bered with snow passable; also that
towns shall see that all mail routes
are kept open to the width of ten
feet.
The Highway Commission have no
jurisdiction over any highways when
they are blocked or encountered by
snow and no party has a right to re-
move the snow or break out the
roads in any way without permit or
direction from the municipal officers.

Portland when conference was held

vic company of the 103rd Infantry in
the Armory building and moving the
headquarters of the 103rd Infantry
and the band of the Coast Artillery
to the building at II Exchange street
the use of which has been donated
by Governor Baxter.
When the Portland Armory build
ing was constructed it was intended
to take of four organizations and the
headquarters company, but as there
are now two headquarters companies,
four companies, and a medical de-
tachment of the 103rd Infantry it has
become to quarter some of the or
CARNATIONS outside of the building
The commission has under advise
ment a plan whereby later it may be
possible to take care of all of the
organizations in the Armory.

vision of markets, Department of

is out to win the New England ban
tamweight title. /.
Nee figures he will stop Castles

been winning regularly and is of the
opinion he punches too hard for his
rival.
frankie Ryan of Everett, who has
quarreled with most of the leading
bantamweights. will have Willie
johnson of the West End as an OPP
ponent in another ten-round affair.
Johnson recently furnished a big
fstic surprise when he knocked out
Tibbie L4aWrey Of Maiden in a bout
at Lynn.
A third ten-stanza bout will bring
together Steve Gustin of South Bos-
ton and Johnny Fox of Woburn.
This will be another case of a fight
or against a wonderful boxer.
Gustin is the fighter. He relies
upon his aggressiveness and punch
ing power to wear down his rival.
He is terrific body puncher, which
makes him all the more dangerous.
The South Boston youth has
proved a sensation. He has piled up
an impressive array of victories and
his admirers feel sure that he will
soon be in line Tor bouts Win tne
worlds leading bantamweights.
Fox is brilliant boxer and figures
that he will outpoint the hard hit
ting Gustin. The Woburn warrior
hops around the ring like Johnny
Dundee and is sure to make Gustin
msss many blows. Steve will also
go diving through the ropes if he is
not careful as Fox is a past master
