May stop state aid roads
Indications point to U S government approval of only 230 miles of hard roads in Illinois for 1918, all main arteries suited for motor travel between major centers. The highway division fears no state aid county road construction will be sanctioned this year, holding up planned Bureau county work at Tiskilwa and Ohio unless materials can be secured. The list of approved roads includes the Dixie highway segment.
