It is the first of a series of similar meetings wvhich wvill be held between the Federal officials and highway authorities of va-ious gr-oups of states, the object of which will be the solution of the problem for- the whole countr-y. This progressive step, long wished for- by all users of the highways, can be attributed to the requirements of Federal-aid legislation.

Trentative systems have been submitted by all except eigth States, and now the p~erio sof meet ings is being held to connnect and o ordinate tba proposed: State systems.

At present only roads certain to be on the system are being approved for construction with Federal aid; in May more than 20 miles of completed road was added to the system of each working (lay. It is estimated that the system will comprise 180,000 miles of highway. '"' WORLD'S LARGEST FISH PIER SITUATED AT BOSTON, MASS.
