i No Increase In auto license tees 1b
required in order to pay the Interest
and .principal of all state highway
bonds that can be issued under the
pending 4 per cent, constitutional
amendment that will be voted upon
at the May 1 election. Neither Is
any Increase required in the gasoline
tax. Nor is any tax on property In
volved.
Revenue from the auto license fees
and gss tax at present rates will be
ample to care for both Interest and
principal of all the bonds that cun be
issued under the proposed 4 per cent,
limitation. The present road bond
ing limit is 2 per cent, of the asses
sed value of property in the slate.
The increase la necessary In order to
make It possible to complete the
main state highways -within the next
few years, instead of waiting Indef
initely for their completion from an
nual revenues. By issuing the bonds,
the roads can be provided for use

taxes are being paid.

XO TAX INCREASE
No direct property tax whatever is
required for the state highway bonds
to be issued under the constitutional
amendment to be voted upon at the
election May 21. The measure is for
increasing the state road bond limit
from 2 per cent to 4 per cent of the
assessed valuation of property with
in the state, thus making it possible
to issue sufficient bonds to complete
the main state highway,.
Principal and interest for these
bonds are financed entirely by the
anto license fee and gasoline tax,
without any necessity for increasing
either the license fee or the tax above
the rates now being paid. At pres
ent rates, figuring only on a small In
crease in the number of autos for the
next few years, the revenue from
these sources will not only take care
of interest and principal of all bonds
