The telegram came in answer to J) one sent by the associated civic :lubs after their meeting at Roose-Ie- S velt last week. At that meeting . the clubs heard letters from the UU. g Qtah state road commission, that if the anticipated FAP . funds for 1937 were to be cancel-M- l secled, the Duchesne-Fruitlan- d tion of highway 40 would have to either be completed only half way or graveled all the way and the oiling delayed. Telegrams were ordered sent to Abe Murdock and Senator Wm. H. King, urging (the appropriation of the funds so that this and other pro- 1937. rop, stat-OQfin- FAP ""grams throughout the state and nation could go forward as planned. A telegram was also sent to President Roosevelt, urging approval of Colorado States PWA loan of $25,000,000, part of which is to go to the completion of the 1 Colorado section of highway 40. Representatives Serve Notice The subcommittee on appropriations drafting the agricultural appropriation bill in Washington was notified Monday morning that unless they eliminated from the bill a proviso canceling the $125,000,000 appropriation for federal aid highways, authorized last session, the issue would be car-.- .. ried to the floor of the house and n fought out on its merits. This notice was served by Repiesenta-Mtive- s J. W. Robinson, Utah, Wil-JbuCartwright, Okla., and W. M. Whittington, Miss., appointed by the house roads committee to try to save the federal appropriation. Representative Robinson told the subcommittee that Utah, like states, had assumed that the authorization made by congress was definite, and on that basis his state had planned its federal aid program on the basis of getting its allotted quota from this $125, rn . er 000,000 Will Upset Program If the money is now withdrawn, the Utah highway program will be completely upset, projects which are ready for advertisement and others in earlier stages of development will have to be and no one can determine to what extent workmen who have been employed on highway contracts will be thrown out of Similiar protests employment. came from the other representatives of the roads committee. The fact was stressed that the authorization bill passed by. congress was in the nature of an implied agreement with the states, and to now withdraw the funds would be to abrogate that agreement. Civic clubs throughout Utah have sent urgent requests to the states congressional delegation n seeking their efforts in the resor-atioof this Federal Aid appropriation, cancellation of which would wreck havoc with the states road plans for the fical year 1937, which begins in July 1936.
