i Under tho present schedule of construction, and antici

federal aid and from rond funds of lho fnrnKlrv Hnmivtninnt. ' wards to the weekly or semi-week
available for Oregon.
From the standpoint of the community located on a state
highway not yet built, the selling of a big block of bonds and
the completion of tho remaining portion of the system seems
to bo nn economic and far-sighted move. But the amount of
money available for Oregon highways from tho federal gov
ernment will not be increased by our spending more money
and hurrying up tho construction program, furthermore, if
we do all our building at once, we will not be able to match
federal aid funds later on and will therefore lose them.
Right at this time the money required for interest and
retirement of the existing bonds is greater than at any other
period. Tho debt is being reduced at the approximate rate of
two million dollars a year, with interest payments being rap
idly reduced in the next few years.
To keep debt reduction at proper speed and yet to keep
sufficient revenue to permit advancement of the construction
program is apparently the wise imliry of the highway com-missionei-s.
Issuing a million in bonds each year during this I
period will accomplish both ends. The highway system will
go forward rapidly, we will safeguard anticipated federal aid
in the future, and the state will be in a position to add new
roads and enlarge its system in it comparatively short time.
