In that connection. if the approach to any international bridge is already a part of the Federal highway system of the State of New York or Michigan or any other State. under existing law. if the approach to the bridge is a State highway and the cost of the construction of that approach Is a State obligation. then with the approval of the Bureau of Good Roads and the Department of Agriculture. Federalaid moneys may be used in the construction of that bridge approach. The only question which arises is with respect to the shelters and the turntables and the posts which are erected on the approach as facilities for the customs and immigration service on international bridges. The gentleman is in error. and he has been misinformed. when he says that the Customs and Immigration Services provide these facilities. The Customs and Immigration Services. under a ruling of the Comptroller General. I understand have no moneys available for construction. and even the salaries of individuals are chargeable in some instances to the bridge if it is a private enterprise or to the ferry if it is a private enterprise. There are no moneys available for the purpose of constructing shelters so the States have to construct these shelters and turntables.
