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:

"CAUTION CUTS ACCIDENT TOLL
, Motorists are becoming educated to
the dangers of grade crossings and are
approaching them more cautiously
than In other years, according to a
report reaching the Oregon State Mo
tor association. There were fewer ac
cidents at grade crossings the first
four months of 1930 than in any cor
responding period since 1925, and
fever persons were killed.
'ARTERIAL STOP' WISE PRACTICE
One of the best places to make an
"Arterial Stop" is in the driveway,
according to a suggestion from the
