there is strong chance that Federal aid
will ho discontinued, which will mean thuB

us they now contemplate. In Texas, Mr#
Windrow said, with the Townsend bill in
operation, there probably will only be tw<»
highways completed in the next 10 years,
one running north and south attd tbe other
east and west. If the present system o|
Federal aid is not interfered wdth, Texai
will liavr at least 1-' great highways com-
pleted within that period.
"We have no guarantee under the Town-
send bill for the continuance of the Fed-
eral aid system," said Mr. Windrow. "AC
this time it is too big a chance for th!
States iu the South, West aud Middle West
to take. When we shall have finished out

reason why the plan for a National High-
