EXPLAINS ROAD
fund ALLOTMENT
Bureau OF Public Rouds
Will Proportion Funds to
Districts II Money Matched

The proportion of federal aid
funds allocated for construction
of feeder farm-to-market roads
and main line highways is de-
initely set by the Bureau of
Public Roads in Washington,
D. c., and not by the state
highway commission, w. R.
Church of Helena, secretary
treasurer of the Montana High
way Finance committee, has an
nounced in a statement to the
Tribune-Herald.
Composed of residents of all
parts of Montana, the commit
tee is carrying on the campaign
to initiate a measure so Mon
tana can raise So 100000 TO
match a like amount to be
granted by the federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Church said the commit
tee has received numerous in
quiries regarding the division
of funds between feeder roads
and main line highways. Many
residents also have inquired as
to how funds raised by the
state are allocated to the var
ious highway districts.
ALLEGATION or distribution of
state funds is governed by the
state law which provides the
percentage each of the II high
way financial districts shall re-
ceiVe - assuring an equitable,
statewide distribution OF the
money!" the secretary-treasurer
said.
He pointed out that money
raised by the highway debenL-
ures can be used only to match
federal funds allocated for feed
er and main line highway
construction, and that the state
money must be allocated to the
two systems in the same per-
centageS set for the federal
grants.
Money allocated by the fed
eral government for feeder roads
can not be used for main line
highways, nor can main line
ALLEGATIONS be used for feeder
road construction" he eX-
planned.
AS an example, he said if a
certain district has $4,000 av-
ailable in state money, it would
receive a like amount in fed
eral money. The $4,000 would
be divided between feeder and
main line highways as specified
by the federal law.
