From the Aberdeen Examiner

few weeks ago. The Examiner called attention
to the that the state of Georgia had been
given WPA project involving the gift Of $4,000 900
of Federal funds for roads in that state-AFTER
state has been refused request for half that
sum- for similar purpose. Yesterday, read state
ment from the Governor of Georgia in which he said
that he had been promised additional $7,000,000
for rebuilding the Georgia institution for the insane
Miedgevlle Here is Associated Press dispatch from
the CarionLedger today, stating that Pennsylvania has
been given SCI for single road only 1862 miles
long-in addition to multiplied millions already given
that rich and popuous state Here is the dispatch:
Harrisburg Pa, Oct 11-The federal gov
eminent made available today SCI 600 in loans
grants to Pennsylvania for tunnel highway from the
capitol city to Pittsburg-a fourane, 1872 mile stretch
called 'the longest toll road in the nation"
The pledge completed the fast financial transaction
needed to begin construction calculated to give work to
$4,000 men for many months
Walter A. JONES' chairman of the PENNSYLVANIA
turnpike commission created to handle project said
the RFC loaned the state $35, 00O 900 and the PWA
provided an outright grant of $26,000000.
There is one city in Pennsylvania reputed to have
more than hundred mionaires 1t is of the rich

states get government funds, in million dollar chunks
for highways and similar purposes while Mississippi
one of the poorest states in the Union and certainly one
of the most needy from the standpoint paved high

Doubt as to the legality of the

Pointing out that the regula-

taxicab stands and sightseeing bus
stations, some officials declared
that in their opinion the proposed
action is Illegal.
2 Action by the District Commits
sioners and the Public Utilities

Attorneys for the Capital Tran

bring legal action to prevent an
interference with their buses.
Meanwhile the new parking
rules aroused a storm of protest

step toward elimination Of all
