Cooperate highway construction under the Federal aid road act must be reeumrd as quickly as posslhla in full measure, the Secretary of Agri culture D. F.

From unexpended balances of Fed oral appropriations for the iset few year*, from State funds beyond what was noeetsary to reset the Federal allotments, and from amounts avail able during tho current lineal year, approximately *7f>,000.000 will be available for expenditure during the calendar year. Next year, If nL the balances should be expended daring this year, and we should have to rely solely on the fund* accruing next year, there will be about $30,000,000 from Federal appropriations, and probably more than this amount from State sources, according t othc Secre tary’s statement. The States, in ad dition, will expend rums in excels of what they have assigned, or will as sign, for Federal aid road projects.
