WEEK ' ANTICIPATE ROAD FUNDS FROM U. S. Secretary Hyde Auth orizes Apportionment of !; Funds for Next Year. 1 WASHINQTON. Aug. 30 Secretary ol Agriculture Hyde has authorized the apportionment of the federal funds for highway improvement in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932. This will make it possible for the states to anticipate the federal funds which will be paid tbem next July and will enable them to expand and advance their highway programs- at once and so provide emergency emt ployment for a considerable number of men who might otherwise be des titute as the result of crop failures. Congress has apportioned $125,000, 000 for the fiscal year which will be- ,gln July 1, 1931. Alter deduction of jthe 22 per cent allowed for adminis tratlve expense. Secretary Hyde was able to allot $121,675,000 to the sev jeral state and to Hawaii. Because drought conditions are confined to only part ol the states, ana a oaiance of previous allotments remains un obligated to the credit of several of the states, the secretary will use his discretion as to the approval of proj ects and will expedite the approval of projects complying with the fol- , lowing conditions: 1. That the state has obligated and has under construction all or prac tically ell of the federal aid funds previously allotted. 2. That state funds required for each project in an amount sufficient to meet the federal aid funds on the legally established basis. This would 'not exclude the voluntary-contribution of additional county or local funds but would require the state it self to provide a minimum amount equal to the federal pro rata re quired, basically fifty per cent fed eral funds. 3. That the state highway depart ment submit with each project state ment a reasonable showing that the project If expedited would assist In providing employment In the drought areas or would directly contribute to the relief of unemployment In a substantial way. The authority for i exercise of administrative discretion in the approval of projects Is found In various sections of the federal hlgnway legislation. Although the emergency road work Is expected to be done In only those states that are suffering from unem ployment and from the drought, the apportionment for all the states had been made and la as follows: MARKET, jNEWS I f-Vf YtfTBKJrAY'KHi;riKT h s '"r Open'- ' Sent, ;...., .S.'i'iO.Kd'i Mar ?... tflsi4 ' Mny-i ,.,.,.,..... . .
