APPoRTIoNMENT OF ROAD AID

Washington, Dec. 2.-Allocation
of $1,429,253 of federal funds for
highway construction in Virginia,
announced by the bureau of public
roads, comes somewhat ahead of
time, and is in response to President
Hoover's suggestion that all public
works be speeded.
1t was explained at the public
roads bureau today that the practi-
cal effect of the earlier ALLEGATION
will be to enable the state highway
department to enter into contracts
earlier than usual. Knowing exactly
the amount of federal aid, the state
department can proceed at once.
Ordinarily the ALLEGATIONS are delay
ed until January 2. This year they
are announced December 2.
