LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. o.
The American Association OF
State Highway officials is going
to ask Congress to authorize
$3.50 million to develop a 10000
mile interstate highway system.
The association also will ask
that the total Federal aid to
roads be increased from $575 mil
lion to 5000 million. This would
include the increase for the inter-
state system.
The AASHO president. ALI E.
Johnson. chief Arkansas highway
engineer, says Congress will be
asked to accelerate building the
interstate system by increasing
the ratio of Federal funds to
State funds to 1925 instead of
the present $3.50.
The Arkansas engineer told the
Little Rock Engineers Club this
week the AASHO will seek the
development of the super high
way system because of civil de-
fense and economic health"
reasons.
Mr.. johnson said the present
allotment for such highways
