I again invite your attention ' to the
fact st hat the highway department ia one
of tee most extensive and far-reaching
that jwe have fa the state. The ' com
missioners who supervise this must give
aUrge amount . oL.time tothe work. oi
Site--com mm a ion,-or which - they receive
no compensation, i
TWere are 'outstanding at thia -time
f 38,0tO,75O in highwsy-tronds. There will
camel due this year $797,000 in Jtighway
boudt, and 1,297,000 in 1926. I be
lieve; these- bonds j should bo paid and
cancelled as they tfall due. I am op
posed to the reissuance of. these bonds,
because I believe it unnecessary. How
ever, wo must continue highway-con-Mruction.
, It willj cost, '$15,090,000 to
complete the' highwsy 'system.' ' During
J924! nesrly $2, 000.000- spent ; on
maintenance. The interest on the bonds,
and bonds coming .due this, year. will be
$2,597,51ff.l7. ; For .the year of 192
the amount for interest and bonds will be
$3,02:3,073.75.! j It will, be seen that these
items of interest,', bonds maturing . and
maintenance, . will - absorb ' -approximately
$10,000,000 in -the riext-two. years. 1
