REQUESTS FOR
ROAD PROJECTS
ARE NUMEROUS
CHAIRMAN TREADwAY CON.
FRoNTED WITH TASK TO FL
NANCE WORK; MoNRoE's
ESTIMATE SET AT $500

TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 22.--As
was pointed out here today by
Chairman C. B. Treadway of the
State Road Department, his de-
partment is confronted with the
impossible task of stretching &c.
900, 100000 in anticipated state rev.
enues to meet demands aggregat-
ing $49,579,S 45.O6 for the cur
rent year. The figures We're made
public today by Chairman Tread
way following receipt of report
from B. M. Duncan, consulting en-
gineer, in which was listed the re-
quests of the various counties as
submitted to the department on
January 80 at its tentative budget
meeting here.
1t not only remains for the
road department to trim down re-
quests from the counties, totaling
$39, 10000, but it must also
provide for the following:
Routine maintenance of roads
in which the state has already in
vested many millions of dollars,
the sum of $1,587, 499.91; $4.-
369, 593.49 for betterment, as
submitted by division engineers of
the road department; state work
under contract and construction,
together with pplxeep of convict
labor, $2,128,0O9.O5; federal work
under contract and construction,
$6,659, 302.46, which mus. be taxi
en- care Of from funds aIfccated to
Florida by the federal government
in 1888 but not yet paid to this
state; and outstanding obligations
in the amount of $2,124,242.61.
Although it has been repeated
ly stated by Chairman Treadway
that little money will be available
for construction this year, the
counties were not. deferred from
pressing hard for their "pet" road
projects. The aggregate requests
indicate that road construction
and maintenance is continuing
problem and that the public does
not favor a road building holiday
such as will virtually exist this
year.
"When the road department
holds its permanent budget meet
ing in Ocala on March &c many
counties are going to be disap-
pointed" Chairman Treadway
stated today. "This is inevitable.
as no five human beings, regard
less of their capacity or sincerity
of purpose. can make few mil
lions do the work of fifty mil
lions"
The estimate of cost set for
Monroe County on Road "A pro-
ject is shown to be $4,000.

VETERANS MAY
CAIN BENEFITS
Compromise Would Restore
Substantial Sums to
Soldiers.
BIZ United Press

By Cntted Press
WASHINGTON, March 10. - A
compromise settlement Of the
troublesome veterans question, with
substantial benefits to be restored
although not to the extent originally
voted by congress, took form today
as the result of weekend confer
enceS.
The compromise does not include
any action on the $2,400, 900, 900
soldiers bonus bill passed by the
house. This could not be passed
over the Presidents veto in the I'M
likely event that it was approved by
the senate.
The veterans compromise is being
worked out in connection with the
conference on the independent Of
fees appropriation bill, to (which
the veterans amendments have
been attached.
Estimates of the amount Of
money involved in increased bene-
fits to World war and Spanish war
veterans differ, but the house
amendments would cost the govern
ment about $30,OOO,O0O less than the
ones adopted in the senate.
The compromise is being worked
out at a point between the house
provisions and the concessions Of
fered by the administration when
the issue was being fought out in
the senate.
