"A STITCH IN TIME"
LOWER grants for the maintenance of -Li 'classified roads represent false economy, say the British Road Federation in their latest publication, "A Stitch In Time." The amount of work that can be done under current grants is no more than the pre-war level, and to meet needs the grant for each year should be raised by 121 per cent. Thus in 1958-59, L394m. should be spent instead of £35m.
