Nearly every community in of post war road building program tional policy will make it easier for the state and local governments io do their planning. The bill provides for an expenditure of $1,500,000,000 to become available at the rate of $500,000,000 in each of the three successive post war fiscal years. California will rea federal contribution of $21,245,000 each year. During the first year the federal contTibution will represent 60 per cent of the total amount to be expended. The'state will contribute the remaining. 40 per cent. During the second and third years the state will match the federal fund on a 50-50 basis. A total of $32,500,000 is made available for each of the three years for forest roads and trails throug‘hout: the: United States. This work will be done without any local contribution and is particularly important to the second district, which has more forest lands than all the rest of the state. Nine and a quarter million dollars is made available for each of the three years for park roads and trails and for construction and maintenance of parkways to give access to national parks and monuments. This is important to our district for the same reason. Another important feature is for our towns and cities wanting airports or airport improvements: the bill provides that the funds authorized can be used for the construction of flight strips adjacent to public highways. In communities having only a small airport alongside a highway, or none at all, this may be the way to get a good airport program initiated. Secondary and feeder roads—the type we are so oftén interested in, crowded out of the picture by the needs of the main arterials—are given special consideration. One hundred and twenty five million dollars a year is specifically allocated nationally to this type of construction. The bill provides that the selection of these roddgs must be made by ‘the state highway departments in consultation with the county supervisors or other appropriate local moad officials. This gives the local offices some legal standing in the selection of post war roads of most interest to them. Every local post war program in the second district should be brought into final form, at the earliest possible date and be submitted to the state department of public works. Special attention should be given to the possibilities of forest roads and trails, pdr roads and trails, and the possibility of flight trips adjacent :o highways. These latter matters should be taken up with the forest service and park service officials. Firemen’s Annual Breakfast Sunday The members of the Nevada City Fire Department next Sunday morning will gather in the pine grove of Pioneers Park for their annual breakfast and camp stew. Fire Chief W. G. Robson, in charge of arrangements is having the grove cleaned up, the fire places and barbecue equipment overhauled, additional conveniences installed.
