The constitutional amendment to be voted upon t the May 21 election provides for this 4 limitation. Interest and principal of the entire 40,000,000 of bonds can be paid from revenues from auto license fees and gasoline tat, based on conservative estimates of that income. . Following is an official estimate of the" income to the State Highway Fund from auto license fees and gasoline tax, compared with interest and principal requirements for the entire $40,000,000 of state road bonds. This table has been audited and certified by Whitfield, Whitcomb & Co., certified public accountants, whose attestation is subscribed below. It verifies the claim made that voting for the 4 state road bond limitation will not involve any tax on property, as principal and interest will be paid from the auto license fees and the gas tax, leaving an actual surplus above the amount required.

Mnemonic for Grams. Scientific papers are getting to nse the metric system of weights and measures more and more, and It has become almost necessary for every one to be uhje to convert such terms aa grams Into dimces at once.

For tin' number of. letters in each word gives .2-8-3-5. Mnemonics for other terms of the metric system are needed. Statue of ths Greek Slav.
