It is astonishing how few voters seem to lealize that it is .the automobile whichl pays the principal and interest of the $6,000,000 road bonding bill. Many people seem to think that the whole $6,000,000 burden will fall on the taxpayer. With even a moderate increase in the number of auto mobiles, 'the license fees will more than take care of in terest and sinking funds, and redeem the bonds without using a penny from the state millage tax. The millage tax is on the statute books now, and it is more than sufficient to take up the slack in the improb- Notice To Milk Users Commencing May 26, the P. M. & C. company will make early morning and late night deliveries. This is due to approaching warm weather. Dur ing the winter months dairymen of the city gen erally have delivered evening's milk the n.xt morning, but hereafter the P. M. & C. will deliver morning's milk the same morning it is millced and evening milk the same cvening.it is milked.

On the basis of the present number of autos, the license fees and the existing millage tax will more than meet principal and interest on the $6,000,000 bond issue and the $1,900,000 bonds for forest'and post roads in addition. Once the people realize that it is the auto, not the tax payer, which carries the financial burden of both principal and interest on the bonds, their instinctive dread of tax increase will vanish, and thicy will avail themselves of the opportunity to unload a large part of the road burden upon the vehicles that use and damage the trunk roads the most.
