Chances Slim For
Improving Route 40

Chances of speeding up the pro-
gram to improve U. S. 40 west of
Hancock are virtually nil, Legis-
lative Council committee was told
on Tuesday
Why? Because the most feasible
method of accelerating the pro-
gram would be to include it in
the federal interstate highway
system and the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads has not seen fit to
do so, according to Norman L.
Pritchett, chief engineer of the
State Roads commission.
AS an interstate highway the
federal government would support
80 percent of the improvement
and the State would provide 10
Otherwise financial problems would
delay completion of the program
for about Is years.
In spite of efforts to have the 65-
mile stretch of Maryland included
in the nationwide system, both adj
joining states had to agree to such
a proposal Pennsylvania has al.
ways refused to go along because
it wanted to make sure that the
Pennsylvania Turnpike was in
cluded.
Pritchett said that in general
highway improvements in Western
Maryland were much costlier thar
those in less mountainous sections
