No Decision On Federal Aid Fund
LITTLE ROCK. Reaching no decision on the allocation of 4,400,000 of new federal aid construction funds, the state highway commission adjourned late Wednesday until Chairman J. S. Cargile calls a meeting off one day next week. The commission debated spending half the allotment on closing gaps in main trunk highways and the other half among scores of communities clamoring for new roads. Ben Johnson was unable to attend, a cited reason for the adjournment. One proposal favored spending about 250,000 on highway 7 south of Fort Smith, but it did not win full support from all four commissioners. Delegations urged new projects on the limited funds.
