ed that his committees had practically
agreed upon $10 000 000 as the amount
to beappropriated toward the construc-
tion and mainteiring of Btate roads
during the next two years. He said
he based this estimate upon the suppo-
sition that the State’s total revenue for
the two years would be $60,000 000
This announcement by Chairman
Woodward is considered of grest im-

operating with Governor Brumbaugh
in the latter’s efforts to divert as much
of the Btate’s funds as possible to road
building.

Woodward stated, * that not less than
