The lira held firm on the do mestic market, losing only one cen time. Consolidated bonds, which form the majority of the public debt, fell off one point to 66, compred to the quotation of 86 when the Italo- Ethiopian dispute began.

Mcßae, member! of the state high way board, today said the Federal Bureau of Roads had approved the 3-mile paving job on the At lanta-MeDonough road but had rejected the remainder of the sl,- 150,000 program on which low bids were announced last week. In accepting the Atlanta-Mec- Donough project, the Bured# of Roads approved the bid, as a fed eral project of $67,008.98 by the Hardaway Construction Co. By accepting the bid as a feder al project, the work was lost to John E. Whitley, LaGrance con tractor and close friend of Gov ernor Eugene Talmadge. Whitley's bid as a state job, was for $54,- 516.97. Different Wage Scales The difference was attributed in part to a difference in wage scales on federal and state construction. The Feaeral Bureau of Roads approved about one years ago the 3.3 miles of paving of the Atlanta- McDonough highway as part of a federal aid program submitted at that time. “Phat is mot-eensistent,” Mcßae commented. i T. J. Marshall, federal resident engineer located in Atlanta, was present when the board opened bids last week and said at the time he was interested only inthe At lanta-McDonough paving because the Bureau had previously ap proved it.
