Set With Plans
By Douglas Graham
(United Prtu Staff Correspondent)
Lansing, Mich. IPi Postwar
projects totaling $472,241,866 are
being rushed into blueprint stage
by hundreds ,of Michigan local
government agencies under a
broad public improvement pro
gram sponsored by the state plan
ning mmmission.
In addition, the state itself is
preparing a $140,000,000 postwar
hlgnway cunsu uuuun program
and $90,000,000 institutional build
ine and repair plan.

' Million for Road Plans
Application for the state's
matching fund grants must be
cleared through the state plan
ning commission and to make cer
tain that adequate standards are
maintained and assuring uniform
ity of purpose in local planning.
f Our million uujjais ui me plan-,
ning fund already hasi been allo
cated to school districts, drain
districts, villages, cities, and coun
ties while one million dollars has
been disbursed to county- road
commissions to pay cost of pre
paring postwar road development
plans.
The planning commission is
seeking another $2,562,000 from
the state legislature, to meet fur
ther local applications for grants
still pending.
A total of 2.741 projects are
already on file. The estimated cost
of preparing plans is $15,125,115,
of which the state will pay 50 per
cent.
Aim for Fund Tie-In
The list of projects includes
$110,000,000 for sewage and sani
tation, $35,000,000 for water
works and water main construc
tion, $88,000,000 for schools, and
$64,000,000 in county roads and
bridges.

made available-after the war and
to provide job-making construc
tion work during the reconversion
period. ' '
While many of the projects
could be started literally upon a
moment's notice, Donald Weeks,
director of the state planning com
mission, has cautioned that a
large number of projects hinge
upon availability of outside fi
nancing, either from a federally
sponsored public works program
or" state-financed program.
