THE LATE CHRISTOPHER

their revival of melodramas

But you've missed some

contemplated by Federal law
and Burealu Of Public Roads
regulations. GAO's concern, an
official said, was with the ex-
penditure of Federal aid money
particularly the 80 per cent
of-cost grants given by the
Federal government to pay for
interstate highway projects.
Between 1858, when Mary
lands 12-year road program
was started, and last April, the
State contracted for $22.l mil
lion worth of consultant work,
officials said.
State Paid Most
However, Norman M. Prit-
chett, commission chief en-
gineer, said the greater part of
this expenditure did not include
Federal aid funds, but was
made up Of State money spent
before the big interstate pro-
gram was authorized in mid
1856.
OF the total of $22.1 million,
$50 million was in Federal aid
funds. Mr.. Pritchett said, all
since 1856.
Since last June, another
Maryland spokesman said, the
commission has issued only one
private consultant contract in
volving Federal money-for the
Cabin John Bridge across the
Potomac River.
The bulk of the expenditures
were made for highway plan
ming and engineering work
prior to 1856, Mr.. Pritchett said,
in order to acquire rights of
way for future construction
while the land could still be
bought fairly cheaply.
Sees Big Saving
In this way, we were able
to save millions of dollars Mr..
Pritchett said, "over the ex-
penses we would have had if
we moved more slowly and did
our engineering work just prior
to construction"
Washington's big circumfer-
ential freeway, for example,
was put out for consultant de-
signing-almost entirely with
State funds-during the first
four years of the State pro-
gram, although no actual con-
struction was contemplated in
that period.
BY farming out engineering
work for future projects during
early phases of the program, he
said, the commissioners own
engineering force also was left
free to design more immediate
construction projects.

State Budget Totals
Over S476 Million

Gov Tawes yesterday proposed
spending S476758,352 for state
operations next fiscal year And
he took out of circulation l2-
million dollar general fund sur
plus which might add to the out
lay.
The total is 40 million dollars
more than Maryland is spending
in state and federal funds this
year. No tax increase was neces-
sary as he dipped into the surplus
for S9722. .789 This left II million
unspent in general funds 1t has
been eyed for possibly increasing
salaries of school teachers and
state employees beyond limits
recommended by Tawes.
In his budget message Tawes
warned the legislature to keep
hands off the surplus.
State employees already mad an
nounced they would propose a
beer tax increase to finance the 5
million dollar general cost of a
10 percent hike in salaries. School
teachers have proposed no tax
program for their requested in
creases which would add an esti-
mated IS million TO state spend
ing over a two-year period.
The general fund budget sub
mitted by TaWes includes approx
imately six and one-half million
for the increases which would
benefit only veteran state employees
and veteran school teachers.
