State Share
OF Road Fund
Official Says
Apporti0nment For Next
Fiscal Year Is For Big
Arteries, Lesser High
ways.

Delaware will receive total OF
$9,915, 1895 in federal funds for road
construction in fiscal year 1861,
Mueller said last Saturday.
The apportionment for the year
starting next July / includes
$6,272,640 for payments on the
Interstate system of super-high-
ways and other major traffic ar
teries, for which the federal gov
ernment pays 80 per cent of the
cost.
The breakdown also provides
S3,642,755 in federal funds for less
important roads, for which the
U. s. Government pays half the
cost.
The money represents the states
share of $27 billion available for
all types of road construction
throughout the nation. OF this,
S1.8 billion comes from the special
funds derived from a federal gaso-
line tax of four cents a gallon to
be used for a 41,00O mile super
highway system eventually link
ing all major American cities.
The commerce department said
that the announcement of the ap-
portionment provides nine months
lead time from construction plan
ming by state highway departments
to assure orderly progress in the
program.
The department explained that
there would have been no funds
for the interstate system available
in fiscal 1861 if Congress had not
increased the special gasoline tax
