New means Of raising funds to
match federal grants for highway
construction must be found unless
Montana is to lose $6,480, 900 for
highway construction purposes
during the coming two years, Gov
ernor Roy E. Ayers announced in
Helena in naming a committee of
81 citizens from all parts Of the
state to grapple with the problem.
County Attorney c. c. Quinn Of
Hardin is a member of the COM
mittee.
A meeting has been called for
Helena for April rs.
Unless new channels of revenue
are found, Montana will be short
$2,843, 900 with which to match
federal aid funds, Engineer D.. A.
McKinnon informed Governor
Ayers. Such a shortage will mean
that $6,460 900 of road construction
during the biennium will go by the
board.
1.-The state OF Montana must not
lose this road money!" the Gov
ernor said. "Our arterial highways
have won US nationwide approval
and aided in bringing $50, 900 900
annually in new business from
! tourists. Most of the construction
under this phase of federal aid
road building will be farm-to-
market roads, 50 that the rural
areas, too, may be taken out of
the mud era and furnished with
all season surfaced highways"
