Owing" to differences of opinion be- !

and the local federal engineers on the
Interpretation of the post road co
operation law, It is probable that be
fore -a definite conclusion "Is reached

4 Under the i terms of the" law the
secretary of agriculture and the state
highway 'department of each state
shall agree upon the roads to be con
structed, therein and the character and'
method of construction. ;
-; It is held by the stats highway com
mission that if the construction put
upon the law by the local federal en
gineer should obtain,-the result would
be that there could be no cooperation
with the national government on the
main highways of ,the state. '
The state highway commission' will
open t bids September -12 for another
block of state, road- bonds' amounting
to 1500,000. "'This will make a total
issue this year of 11,000,040, the
amount. Authorised by the $6,000,000
bond law. adopted last June. . Like the
previous $604,OQO Issue it is not- ex
pected that a par bid will be received
for' the - bonds which bear ' 4" per cent
interest, hut it is thought that a little
better price will be obtained than was
had on jFhe other issue -which netted
approximately! 1470,000.
