Bridge Matter Still Rests With Washington Officials Application For Necessary Loan In Hands Of Public Works Administration For Consideration Ry PAUL MAY Washi Correspondent of TI ine! WASHINGTON, -D. C., November 15.—The applica- tion of the Monroe County Road and Toll Bridge com- mission for a loan of $8,000,- 000 for the construction of bridges to carry the overseas highway to Key West, is still in the running, Secretary Administrator Harold L. Ickes said today, Although other officials of the public works administra- tion recently predicted that the project would be reject- ed, Ickes ‘asserted that the special board for public works,.of which,he.is i man, hay yet.to.make a final decision onthe application. Tekes would not discuss the report that the project would be turned down. The overseas bridge pro- ject has been very thorough- ly studied by the engineer- ing division of the public works administration, but has not yet. been laid before the special board which alone has the final authority in granting allotments, pub- lic works officials. William R. Porter, here to push the bridge loan appli- cation through, said today that Seeretary Ickes has been asked to give immediate at- tention to the ‘project. Por- ter has been joined by Ches- ter B. Treadway, chairman of the state road board, who is aiding in. pushing the bridge loan, he said. An effort will be made to have Governor Dave Sholtz, scheduled to arrive in Wash- ington tomorrow, throw his influence back of the bridge project by a personal plea to Ickes for approval of the loan, Porter said.
