Finally, to facilitate the accomplishment of necessary improvements, the report recommended amendment of the Federal Highway Act (1) to authorize addition to the Federal-aid system of any roads conforming to the main lines of the strategic network, as designated by the War and Navy Departments; (2) to make roads and bridges on auxiliary lines of the network eligible for improvement with Federal-aid secondary road funds; and (3) to permit the use of Federal-aid funds in payment of part of the cost of acquiring necessary rights-of-way and attendant property damage.
