a plea to have the Federal gov

President Roosevelt, to make the
Overseas Highway a military

Federal Aid to Highways Act. Of
course, the state must put up its
half of the funds and have the
project approved and ready to
be put into operation before such
help can be obtained.
Local agencies have known
that such working agreement
with the Federal government
would be possible for some time
and much time has been devoted
during the past six months to-
wards getting the state to set-up
the Overseas Highway program
on an approved and working ba-
sis.
Congressman Cannon suggests
that all interests here put all
possible pressure on the State
Road Department. With that in
mind, it is expected that the
county commissioners and city
council, working in cooperation
with Mayor Albury, will seek
means to send q representative of
the county to Tallahassee to lay
the Overseas Highway problem
before the department.
Governor Cone is known to
favor the highway extension pro-
gram. Political interference has
held the project in allegiance for
over a year. but, according to a
majority opinion here now, the
time appears ripe to make neces-
sary contacts at the state. capital
