Following submission of the lists of posts and stations to the two branches of the Federal Works Agency, the War Department, on November 2, 1940, instructed its several corps area commanders to arrange local conferences to consider the access-road necessities of each of the listed posts and stations. At each conference, the corps area commanders were instructed to arrange for representation of the corps area, the post or posts in question, the Public Roads Administration, the Work Projects Administration, and the State highway department, and county or city administrations if local roads or streets are involved. These conferences arc now being completed as rapidly as possible.
