Z ATLANTA, July 30.-Indefinitely
cut on from Federal funds, the Geor-
gia Highway Department yesterday
prepared to turn loose nearly $3,000,-
900 Of State money in road and bridge
construction as speedily as possible.
Announcing a sl,6Oo,ooo program
On which bids will be asked tomor-
row, Chairman w. E. Wilburn of the
board said contracts would be awarded,
probably, on the $1,150,000 schedule
Tor which low bidders were announced
10 days ago.
The chairman also said the Federal
Bureau Of Roads, reversing pre-
vious announcement, had rejected the
&67, 900 Federal bid on the 3.3 miles
Of the Atlanta McDonough road. This
was the bid of the Hardaway Con-
etruction Co. of Columbus.
Low State bid on the same project
OF $55, 900 was made by the Whitley
Construction Co. of La Grange.
Federal Funds Held Up.
Wilburn said he was informed of
the Federal bureaus position in a
telegram from Charles Sneed, Fed
eral district engineer of Montgomery.
The message said no Federal aid
work would be approved pending set
tlement of the controversy between
Georgia and Washington, which has
left this States $19,00O,000 share of
Federal road funds hanging on a
hook"
About Is per cent-$45O, ,000-of the
proposed 81 5000 program to be ad-
vertised tomorrow is to be spent in the
vicinity of Balls Ferry. hub of dispute,
but bridge to replace the ferry is not
included.
Wilson'S District Gets Paving.
Wilburn said bids will be asked on
$450,000 worth of paving in the sixth
congressional district, in which the
ferry is located, and which Is repre-
sented by Carl Vinson.
Gov. Talmadge had no comment to
make on the proposals other than to
say the Highway Board knows best
which jobs to tackle first" and that
road construction is going forward
despite difficulties with the Roosevelt
administration.
Contractors will be asked to submit
bids on all projects of both State and
Federal undertakings. If the Wash
1ngton Bureau refuses to accept Fed
eral bids, then contracts will be let on
State money, Wilburn announced.
