District 10 Receive
$4,000 by Present
Highway Bill Terms
City Also Likely to Get
Port Of Fund Provided
For Defense Rouds

The District is expected to get
$l71 900 under terms Of the highway
authorization bill approved by
President Roosevelt Friday and will
share to total as yet undetermined
in the $l5.000000 item for access
roads to defense establishments.
Funds must still be appropriated
by Congress and the city would lose
the Sill 900 if what the President
called the pork barrel provisions
of the bill should be unprovided for.
But there seems little doubt that
the money will be forthcoming, if
previous congressional action in
similar situations be taken as cri-
terion.
Strategic Roads Come First.
The first item. SIS 900 900 for
strategic" roads, is 10 apportioned
among the States on the Federal
aid formula of IS per cent Federal
TO 25 per cent local money. This
would give the District 1922 900,
Virginia, s46l 900. and Maryland,
s208 900. as the bill now stands.
The second item. TO be appor-
toned on the same basis, is one
of $4,000 900 for planning Of fu-
ture projects. II would give the
District $4,000: Virginia, sl84 900,
and Maryland, $4,000.
Just how much of the $50 000.-
900 the city will get depends finally
upon the Army and Navy. which
must certify road projects under
this category before the money can
be used The Public Roads Ad-
ministration. which is to supervise
expenditure Of the funds. now is
conducting a survey of access roads
projects throughout the country.
Certification Expected.
However, it is expected that the
Secretary of. War will certify some
of the money for the S., 900 900
bridge approach Improvements made
essential by erection of the new
War Department Building in Ar
lington County
Arlington COUNTY appears certain
to share in the item. Some S8.000,-
900 or more in highway improve
ments associated with the War De-
partment Building are planned there.
and during hearings on the bill
providing funds for the structure, a
high-ranking officer assured Con-
gress of the Army's intent to certify
these as access roads.
On similar basis. it is indicated
that the Secretary of the Navy
would divert some of the money to
Arlington roads connected with the
new Navy Building.
