Kansas May Lose Federal Aid for Roads
Topeka June 7 AP No provision was made by Congress to include Kansas in the distribution of Federal aid funds for road building next year. W G Markham, secretary of the American Highway Association, told John W Gardener, state highway director, that the act failed to include the clause permitting Kansas to receive funds as in prior years. Without the clause, Kansas cannot meet the act’s requirement that road funds be under direct state control, risking loss of benefits. Markham planned a conference with Governor Paulen and Gardner later.
