Although a large cast is required
Tor production of the drama, the
thoughts of Mexican citizens as they

the chances of enlisting French aid

the injustice of Napoleon Ills opera
tons, however, and remains to help

supporting players, all of the WASH
lngton Civic Theater, are to be

other milestone on The Road to

ROAD FUNDS .
DUE FOR BIG
BUDGET CUT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. "a
Federal expenditures for highway
improvement will be reduced more
in 1889 than any other item if the
proposed Federal budget is adopted
according to c. H. Purcell, Califor-
MIA state highway engineer.
The propose expenditure
through federal aid for highways in
1899 will be a reduction of go per
cent compared with 1887 authoriza-
tions," Purcell said This is a
reduction greater by 10 per cent
than is proposed for any other
budget item. Moreover several items
show increases, and further in
creaSeS will doubtless be made, for
congress has already received re-
quests from the administration for
increases for the navy, army and
WPA since the budget was sub
mitted.
AT the recent road committee
hearings of congress, held to con-
slider the continuation of federal
aid on it's present basis, much
thought was directed at budget bal
ancing Those who testified as rep
resentatives of the highway officials
association and the various state
highway departments, agreed that
a reduction in federal highway eX-
penditures was acceptable provided
that comparable reductions were
made in all other federal items.
But, as pointed out, the proposed
1899 budget places a greater re-
duction on highways than on any
thing else"
