President Tallman of the Highway Association reports strong odds that the East and West Highway from the Twin Cities to Browne Valley will be designated a national highway built by the Federal Government. If approved, construction would be federally funded with refunds to counties, and $27 000 in county and state backing is planned for surveying and improvement this winter. Local counties already spent substantial sums and expect higher outlays next year as officials push for rapid action.
