The above funds will be sufficient not only to pay the In terest and the principal of the $6,000,- 000 bonds authorized by this act, but will also pay the interest and princi pal of the $1,819,280.55 in bonds author ized to meet the government road ap propriation. After paying these bonds there will be a surplus of at least $2,- 793,402.66. Since 1911 the increase in the number of automobiles in the State of Oregon has been 33% per cent per year.
