Large Federal Grants
For Roads
$40, 900, 900 Earmarked For
Maryland Available
For Construction

That Maryland is assured q gen
erous slice of Federal roads funds to
bolster its own appropriations for
roads purposes, and thus bring our
State highways into line with de-
tense requirements, has been an
nounced by Gov. Herbert r. O'Con-
or.
Because of the immediate likeli-
hood of such Federal assistance,
Governor O'Conor declared, ''the
State Roads Commission had been
advised by an official of the Federal
Roads Bureau that increased en-
cheering and right-of-way person
mel should be provided as promptly
as possible, in order that the Com
mission may handle the greatly in
creased roads expenditures expedi-
tiously."
A special roads committee Of the
State, appointed recently by Gov
ernor O'Coonr, reported that it had
assurance from Thomas H. McDon-
aid, of the Federal Bureau of Roads,
that recommendations already had
been submitted to President Roose-
welt that Federal funds totalling
$15O,0O0, 100000 should be made
available for the various states. OF
this total appropriation at least
$10,0O0,0OO.O0 will be allocated to
Maryland, it was declared, which
amount, added to funds already
available, makes total of approx
imately $20,0O0,000.00 that prob
ably would be designated for specific
purposes within the next few
months.
Improvement of the. Eastern Ave-
nue. Road section adjacent to the
Glenn L. Martin Plant is leading
phase of the new plans, Governor
O'Conor announced; and improve
ments also will be provided for roads
leading to Camp Meade and other
Government Reservations.
With these new funds in the Of
fing, it seems more evident than
ever that the present administra-
ton will achieve by far the greatest
advance In roads building in the
history of the Stats. sr
