Cut in Federal Spending Is
Declared imperative to
Balance Budget.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. l3.-Apart from
normal Federal aid to State highways,
amounting to s328,638,O00 in 1886,
allotments of emergency funds for
road construction had reached a total
Of S789, 100000 by the close of 1885,
according to the index of the New
York Trust Co., and estimated total
costs of all highway, road and street
projects placed in operation by the
Works Progress Administration, as
of March, 1887, was ST, 1852, ,480, 900, of
which Federal funds provided $l,227,-
249 900.
This sum represented 81 per cent
of the estimated total cost of all
w. P. A. projects" the index states.
1T was greater than the total of all
State highway expenditures in 1895;
it was greater than the aggregate for
all rural road expenditures in 1929
And while these comparisons are not
entirely valid, as expenditure of the
w. P. A. funds on road construction is
spread over more than one year, they
BldplliCdlly lIlulCdtS IlOW Lne normal
expenditures of State highway depart
ments are being supplemented by
Federal projects.
valuable as the new roads may be.
curtailment of present construction
expenditures will necessarily follow
that reduction of general emergency
expenditures which alone can assure
the Federal Government of a balanced
budget. For the future it would appear
clear that the heavy taxes now imposed
upon gasoline and motor vehicles
should be relied upon to provide the
principal sources of income from high
way construction and maintenance,
with the Federal Government gradu-
ally withdrawing from an activity for
| which it has not available funds. The
projects of the w. P A. in this field
should thus be cut down not only as
part of general program of retrench-
ment, but in order to prevent the
States from becoming too accustomed
| to Federal aid in maintaining their
roads and highways"
