State To Push Federal Roads

Lansing March 10 U R The 1931 policy of the state highway department to rely on federal aid and to avoid prison labor will add 2000 to 2500 more workers on construction this year. Highway commissioner Grover Dillman said the shift to federal aid allows the state to spend over four million dollars more than normal revenue would permit, boosting employment over last summer.
