Senator Gore's Road Bill
Washington, Dec. 4.—Senator
Gore has introduced a bill pro-
viding for the co-operation be-
tween the Federal Government
and the States in highway con-
struction. The Gore bill would
appropriate $1,000,000 the first
year, $4,000,000 the second year
and $1,000,000 additional each
year until 1921, by which time
the appropriation would be $10,-
000,000. The bill provides that
the money shall be spent in
States putting up an equal
amount of money, and the work
is to be on roads to be selected
by the Secretary of Agriculture
and the highway officials of the
States seeking the co-operation.
Senator Gore left last night
for Philadelphia, where he will
address a joint meeting of trades
and agriculture from four states.
