the conference was to request ten- tative approval of our program and to determine the necessary procedure in order to make the funds available.
 "The question whether MIRA funds would become available to the several towns of the state for the construction of state aid roads was also discussed and it is appar- ent that the towns may benefit under the terms of the act. if nec- essary legal restrictions are over- come either as the result of an opinion of the attorney general, which is now pending, or by leg islative action at @ special session of the General Assembly which may be called by the governor if necessary.

 we arc cooperating in every way with MT. McNeil's commis- sion in order to appellate our program and to hasten the relief
