In explaining the objects of the hu- reau, Mr. Grinnalds said that it would not pre-empt the authority held by Any county or town to decide what sort of development it shall have, but such a bureau would merely se2ik the co-operation of towns and counties in plans in accord with a regional scheme of development. Teh bureau's chiet functions, he sald, would be planning, and other agenciés, and holders of authority.weuld be, called upon to enforce the plans as far as possible. ASKS MILLION FOR ROAD.
