This is in further response to your request of December 19, 1969, that we review and comment on a letter to you, dated December 17, 1969, from Miss Mildred Lepler regarding a grant for $182,000 to be spent for a road to the shrine of Gerald L. K. Smith. Our inquiry showed that the funds in question had been pro- grammed for the improvement of a 2.5-mile Federal-aid secondary road which connects Arkansas Highway 23, a Federal-aid secondary route, with U.S. Highway 62, a Federal-aid primary route in Carroll County, Arkansas, near the Community of Eureka Springs. Located near Eureka Springs is a tourism complex operated by the Elna M. Smith Foundation, a nonprofit corporation. Presumably, this complex is the shrine referred to in Miss Lepler's letter. Although this road serves as a connection between two other highways, it also provides tourists with general access to the tourism complex. The total estimated cost of the proposed improvement of the road is $227,500. The primary Federal grantor is the Federal Highway Ad- ministration, Department of Transportation- -through the Arkansas State Highway Department- -under its Federal-aid secondary road pro- gram. The Administration has programmed $113,750 for this project from funds apportioned to the State for its secondary road program. This amount represents the normal share (50 percent) of the total proj- ect cost. Under the Administration's procedures, funds are normally paid to the State in reimbursement of its costs as construction work progresses. In addition to the $113,750 Federal-aid highway funds approved by the Administration, the Ozarks Regional Commission has approved a supplementary grant of $68,250, or 30 percent of the estimated con- struction cost, under authority of section 509 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended. Supplementary grants are approved by the Commission to enable applicants to tak0 advantage of Federal grant-in-aid programs for which they are eligible but for which, because of their economic situation, they cannot supply the LC e? 071
