SOLOMONS ISLAND, Md, July
25.-High scoring honors in the
weekend regatta of the Solomons
Island Yacht Club went to Frank
Muzzey, jr., who finished first in
four races Of Solomons' second an
nual program. He drove his trim
Nittany Lion, rolling up 1900
points.
His victories came in both the
E and K classes.
Thousands Of spectators lined
the eastern bank of the Patuxent
and hundreds more were aboard
gayly decorated craft riding off
the course. Among the pleasure
craft which anchored for the Sun
day races was that Of Gov. Harry
Nice.
One Of the most daring pieces
of plotting was contributed by W.
Earl Orem, of Cambridge, Md,
when he hung back at the start Of
the first heat of the 225 event, and
then roared up behind his field
to find an opening between Tom
Glennon's Wild Goose and Jack
Hyde's Spectre, to win in his
Seagar.
During this event, the interest
Of the race spectators was divided
with a waterspout, visible on the
horizon off in the bay in the
vicinity of Point No Point.
Two WaShingtonianS fought it
out in the combined 1876 and 81

struction for the next three
years. The commission feels that
if the public fully understands
the issue, there can be no doubt
of the result, since from a prac-
tical standpoint no new debt
is incurred and the action of
the new debentureS is merely
to extend the period of repay
ment of present indebtedness
over a longer period, with con-
sequent reduction of the annual
obligation. They are therefore
having surveys and plans made
at this time in order to be pre-
pared to rush this feeder road
construction as soon as the re-
turns will permit.
Now, while these new deben-
lures will tide over the present
crisis they do not provide any
new income. The matter of the
entire future program should be
discussed effectively, and will
be in later articles, our space
being limited at this time. It
should, however. be borne in
mind that while your Highwsy

vide every service needed by the

as their revenues permit.

FEEDER ROAD
o

(This is the sixth of a series
of weekly articles on Montana
Highways" to be prepared by
D. A. McKinnon, State Hig-
way Engineer, at the request
of the state Publicity Depart
ment.)
So much discussion now re-
wolves around the topic of feed
er roads that a resume OF the
facts involved is now required.
Probably no factor in the gen.
eral highway situation has ev-
oked such a variety of opinions
in the public mind, and if Mon
tana is to proceed in an orderly
manner in the establishment OF
a secondary road system, we
must arrive first at some uni
formity of thought and purpose.
Let us glance at the steps
leading up to the present. The
first authorizations for use of
Federal funds on roads off the
I per cent system was contained
in the National Industrial Re-
covery Act of 1888, which pro-
ylded an outright grant of
funds for emergency conStruc-
ton of feeder roads, and this
authority was carried through
the later emergency relief acts.
All construction of feeder roads
up to this time has been &C
complished under these grants,
without recourse to state funds
except for small amounts re-
quired for engineering. The re-
sponsibility for maintenance of
these roads was accepted by the
counties under definite agree
ments with the State Highway
commission. It may be seen
from this that the financing of
this type of road in the past
has not been a burden on the
State Highway fund.
With the Act approved June
16, 1886, authorizing funds for
the fiscal years 1888 and 1889,
the picture was changed. This

has set September % as the
date for a hearing on his
charge that the Springfield
Fire and Marine Insurance
company violated a Montana
law by not giving its resident
agent his full commission.
Holmes said the firm wrote
a policy through an eastern
broker. The broker wanted half
the commission that state law
says must go to the resident
agent who countersigns the
policy.
The insurance company wrote
Holmes, stating that Montana's
law is in violation of the con-
stitution. 1t is the first time
the new law has been tested. A
case in the federal courts may
result, Holmes said.

act, in authorizing $25, 900 10000
for use in the construction of
feeder roads during each OF the
fiscal years mentioned stlp-
ulated that these funds be
matched with state funds in
the same ratio used in matching
primary federal-aid grants. This
ratio in Montana is $4,000 of
state funds for each I56.C0 of
federal-aid. This act, the follow
ing appropriation. and the reg
ulations on expenditure promul-
gated by the secretary OF Agrl-
culture have set uD a very def
mite procedure which the states
must follow in the use OF the
grants for feeder roads. These
are outlined briefly below.
To avail themselves of the
federal funds, the states are
required to set up a definite sys-
tenn of secondary highways not
exceeding 10 per cent of the
1921 base, meaning that such
system in Montana may not ex-
coed 6,710 miles in extent. This
system need not be established
in it's entirety at once but may
be designated from time to time
as is found necessary. One abb
solute requirement is that the
mileage be equiably divided
among all the counties and that
the routes include only the
principal roads in each county.
The justification of routes must
be based on economic facts de-
veloped by the Statewide High
way Planning Surveys, minimum
standards of construction are
established and guarantees of
satisfactory maintenance are re-
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1938-09-15

quired. Cooperation by the coun-
ties may be accepted but pri-
mary responsibility is vested in
the State Highway Commission,
and they provide the states
only contact with the federal
authorities. One of the standard
requirements provides that these
roads be covered with a Stabil-
lied wearing surface, which is
a very rational provision since
without such a surface satisfac-
tory maintenance and safety be-
come problematical.
Since the data of the State
wide Highway Planning Surveys
will not be completely analysed
before early 1899, a provision is
made that projects financed
from fiscal years 1888 and 1889
appropriations may be c%onstruc-
ted as interim projects subject
to the requirement. that their
locations be such that they may
be reasonably sure of being in
cluded in the final system. The
sum of 1928-39 funds must be
divided into sufficient projects
to allocate one each to so per
cent of the counties.
Of course, it is understood
that federal funds appropriated
for specific uses are not avail
able for any other purpose so
that the funds under discussion
must be used for feeder roads
Or revert to the treasury of the
United States. There is no
thought in the minds of the
Highway Commission OF permit
tirg these funds to lapse. They
will he used for feeder road
construction if and when suf-
f'"ient state funds are at hand.
The present obligations on the
state highway fund, due to in
terest and retirement of out
standing debentures together
with maintenance requirements,
do not at this time premit mat
ching the entire amount of fed
eral funds available to the state.
The debt service must be met
but there is no reason why the
remaining annual payments
should not be reduced by
spreading them over a longer
repayment period, and this is
what the Governors committee
of f~iftv-Seven has recommended.
The fate of the feeder road pro-
cram hangs on the result of the
balloting on Initiative Measure
No. Al, and if that result proves
adverse to the Debenture issue,
very little can be expected in
the line of new feeder road con-
