These are highway bills which were introduced at the l~st session of the present Congress and which were not disposed of before adjournment. ' The Association's summary shows that there are nineteen appropriation bills which would authorize a total of $2,193,841,145 immediately as expenditures · in furtherance of the Federal Government's highway construction \. program during the next three years. Of tllat number the largest is the Browne-Watson bill, designed to create a special highway fund of $407,000,000 · from the proceed~ of the sale of surplus highway equipment and war materials sold to France following tl'n. war. The bonds, in payment of this equipment, are now in the U. S. Treasury and mature next August. The measure has received the endorsement of the American Motorists' and othet' motoring and allied associations. The construction of a Pan-American highway is provided for under the terms of eight bill~, the ultimate obJect of which is the completion of a htgh·· wav running from Canada through Mexico, Central and South America. Eight ~i11s are purely regulatory, d.ealing with interstate traffic, routes, htghway signs, research, and kindred phases of highway construction.
