Opponents of the road bond bill
contend that the proposed bond Issue
will become an added burden to the
general taxpayer. As a complete an
swer and refutation of this argument,
the Legislative Good Roads Commit

"We have ascertained from the rec
ords of the office of the Secretary of
State that the income from the pres
