COMMENTS. MOST OP THIS PROOR.JJ IS 1101/ III ABEYANCE UNTIL IT CiJJ BE DETERMINED WHETHER THE MISSISSIPaI COAST IS TO COOPERATE. THE REASONS ARE a 3 FOaLOWS ; - Sectional financing of the work can no longer ho sustained. Alabama and Florida cannot satisfactorily cooperate with the West if the Mississippi Coast is a blank in between. Travelogs and maps cannot bo continued, paid for by some sections an5 not paid for by others. The motor cade cannot start from California to run to St. Augustine, nor preliminaries begun unless all sections mo behind it. This motorcade totaled 635 cars at Memphis last year. If eastern interest is not established this motorcade will bo supported from San Diego, to El Paso, to San Antonia, to Monterey, Mexico, to Hot Springs, Ark., returning by Carlsbad Caverns to California. If the Old Spanish Trail marking :s not put across the East the highway will gradually become colorless II. S. 90.
