Highway Dept.
Releases Details
Of New Policy
The State Highway Commis-
sion has released details of a new
state-wide policy on Farm to
Market Roads which will per-
mit an expansion of the present
state operated Farm to Market
Road Program.
It was explained in the High-
way Commission's new policy
that the Federal Funds made
available by the Postwar High-
way Act of 1944 for the con
struction of Secondary or Farm
to Market Rloads covering a
three year period have all been
earmarked for specific roads
throughout the- state. Approx-
imately one-half of this work
has been placed under contract
and consequently no additional
funds from this sourse are now
available.
The Commission's statement
also noted that no additional
funds on the National or State
level have been made available
for the expansion of the pro-
gram of construction of second-
ary or farm to market roads.
The numerous requests from
officials and citizens from all
sections of the State for the
designation construction and
maintenance of additional Farm
to Market Roads indicated the
need of some type of additional
program to provide at least for
the more urgent and immediate
needs in the rural areas of
Texas.
Commission State Highway
Engineer Dewitt C. Greer ex-
plained "This new policy of the
Highway7 Commission has been
formed to place into operation
the new laws passed by the
Fiftieth Legislature relative to
this type of road."
Mr. Greer explained that
"under the new policy of the
Highway Commission if a
county or road district desired
additional Farm to Market
Roads and is willing to furnish
the right of way and 75 of
the actual construction cost tho
State Highway Department will
provide the engineering and
25 of the construction cost
from its funds and will provide
for tho future maintenance of
the road which item alone gen-
erally equals the construction
co&t over a period of fifteen
years."
Mr. Greer futher pointed out
that in the Commission policy
it was necessary due to the
limited finances of tho Depart-
ment that a ceiling of not more
than $100000. in construction
costs in anyone county jit any
one yea- bo used to give state
wide distribution under this
plan.

From where I sit ... 'ly Joe Marsh
Can't Break
His Good Habits!
Dcrt Childcrs was saying It's
funny how so many of our wartime
''liabits stick with us.
Bert likes plenty of butter on his
bread but even now ho can't get
over spreading it like it was scarce
as hen's teeth. And as a war-
worker Bert used to stick to a
temperate glass of beer on time off ; '
and ho still holds fast to beer and
moderation.
Same way with Bert's wife. She
not only has no trouble saving
used fnts and waste paper. She's
learned from wartime necessity to
save every single thing that might
possibly be used again.
From where I sit it's mighty
good that so many of these com-mon-sense
liabits like thrift and
moderation have stayed with us.
Because they belong in America
along with tolerance and mutual
respect for one another's rights
They'ro habits that have helped to
make this country strong and
neighborly and free.
