Funds slashed Last November the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads slashed Hawaii's 1966-67 Federal road allotment from $30 million to $25 million as an anti-inflationary move. Worse yet, it froze an additional $53 million in unusued funds which Hawaii had stored up for its road program just as it was rolling into high gear. This forced the State Highways Division to drastically cut back its program, reevaluate priority project and determine which jobs had to be deferred.

In general, the Highways Division inherited one big headache. Then, things began to break in late February with the announcement that $1.3 million was being restored to Hawaii, although it carried qualifications of design and rights-of-way acquisition. On April 1 another $2.7 million was unleashed, bringing Hawaii's fiscal year total to $29 million. Best of all, on April 10 one-half of the frozen funds the most painful cut last November, were released to the tune of $26.5 million. And the remaining $26.5 million will be unfrozen after 36 Printlpb mi interest sr a mmmmmm MAKE GEM YOUR SHOPPING HEADQUARTERS FOR COLOR TV.

"We're in real good shape now," says Fruto, who is acting chief of the division right now. Hawaii not only obligated $43.8 million in construction projects this fiscal year (ending June 30) but has almost $12 million to carry over into next year.

As an example of the stepped-up pace in recent weeks, Fruto said, "We planned to award $13.5 million in contracts from April to 1 y. When the dam broke, this jumped to $34.5 million." Delighted Fruto said that, although the Highways Division was delighted with the reinstatement of funds, the news was greeted "with mixed emo- tions" at the highway of- fices.
