son and prejudice the voters against it.
That being the case, the following per­
tinent facts are submitted for the in
formation and thoughtful considera­
tion of the impartial voter on the eve
of the special election June 4th:
This road bond bill proposes the is­
suance of $G,000,000 twenty-five year
four per cent bond? for the construc­
tion of a system of state-wide hard-
surfaced highways. The roads to be
Improved are designated in the bill
and lnelude the main-traveled roads
throughout the state.
Adequate revenue has been provided
by statute for paying both interest
and principal and retire the bonds at
maturity without increasing taxes.
The money deri\od from the increased
automobile lie. uses and the existing
quarter-mill state road tax will pay
the interest and retire the bonds aud
leave a substantial balance for tlie
construction of other roads not enum­
erated in the Loud bill.
The increased automobile license
and the state road tax are provided by
statutes now in effect aud will have
to be paid regardless of whether or
not the road bonds are voted at the
spci ial election June 4th.
The automobile owner is willing to
pay the increased license. All that he
asks is that the licn.se mo'ny, which
has to be paid anyway, b.- expended in
constructing the toads proposed in the
bend bill. The automobile owner will
provide all of the money necessary to
meet the interest charges and retire
the bonds. Me fails to see why there
should be any opposition to the ex­
penditure of the money so provided in
the construction of good roads, in view
of the fact that It is his money that
will pay for the improvements.
All of tbo money raised from the
bonds will be expended under the di­
rection of the Stats Highway Commis­
sion, appointed by Oovernor Withy-
combe. The Commission has announc­
ed that in extending the fund all stc-
tlons of the state will be considered
impartially. A dollar's worth of road
construction for every dollar expended
is guaranteed by the Commissioners,
who have declared that they will pur­
chase one or more paving plants and
lay paving unless satisfactory bids are
submitted by paving contractors. Or-
dinrry c o m m o n s. nse business princi­
ples will a.so govern the Commission­
ers in their work of road building.
Scarcity of later and the reasonable­
ness of war-time prices (or materials
will determine the time for inaugurat­
ing work and the scope of actual road
construction. Kord build it., will not
be undertaken by tb<* Commission un­
less conditions are faro-able.
