Federal Aid Conference in Washington To Seek Uniform System
Captain John Craft of the Alabama highway Commission will attend a conference of state highway commissioners and engineers December 12 in Washington. W S Kellar, Alabama’s state highway engineer, will join as associate.

A president has expressed no favor toward state aid. International Geological Congress estimates Canada’s unmined ore supply at 900 000 tons, enough to last ore as consumption rises.
