Such recon atructlon would cost an estimated $700 million more for a total of $1 billion, or third of a billion dollars per foot! It 1 proponed that thU money come out of the special highway trust fund. And where will the additional money for that fund come from? Presumably out of the pocket of Amer ica' motorists, who already are undrewrltlng the bulk of the fund by paying an average of 47 cents In state and federal taxes on every dollar's worth of gasoline they buy. Several thoughts come to mind regarding this new proposal. The first Is that the high way fund already Is stretched to its breaking point. When cost of the road program was hiked r. ii,n.. ,. tin MlliuM because of In flatlon and the adJltion w "7 io.GfX) mile system originally planned, the gov ernment declared It could only solvent by imping a temporary one cent In crease to the federal motor fuel tax. The second thought U: II enlarged bridge ,re esM-ntlal to the defer of Americas clll icnry. why shouldn't their cost come out of the national defense budget? The final thought Is this: Responsible of fkla Is of defense agencies admit that nobody e.lly know, the size of future nn'carrylng rucks. Discoveries and development InJ hillW .7e extremely rapid. Military truck bed. of the future conceivably might need more than a 1 7 foot clearance. In which case another rebuild- ng program would be in order. On the other hand, miniaturization may make future missiles smaller than prototype. . Under such circumstances. It would seem to be a good Idea, before we commit ourselves to spending that extra billion, to make a thorough economic feasibility" study. Let a try to find Just what actually will be needed, and then determine whether there Isn't a fairer way of obtaining whatever funds may be necessary than heaping more gasoline taxes on the backs of America's long-suffering motorists. A Industrial News Review. From The County Agent's Office IT N C AXDEBSOlf With 51 persons registered for the Soils Short Course which will have started before you read this, we should have some good discussions at our sessions on February 4 and 5, 11 and 12. Whllo they have been scheduled to be held at the fair annex In Heppner each of the four days, serious consideration will be given on the 5th to holding the session of the 11th and 12th at lone. The reason for this is the heavy registration from that area. If you do not attend the February 5th session but plan on being to the 11th and 12th better check to make sure where It will be held. The time of day will be 10 to 12 a m regardless of where they are held. Even if you have not registered and have missed a session or two, come out to the remaining- classes. Mnrce Bunching.
