Approximately $40,000,000 of state road bonds can be issued under a
40 limitation on the present assessed valuation of the state, including

principal requirements for the entire 540.ooo.ooo of state road bonds.
This table has been audited and certified by Whitfield, Whitcomb & Co.,
certified public accountants, whose attestation is subscribed below.
It verifies the claim made that votine for the a. state road bond limitation
will not involve any tax on orooertv. as Drincioal and interest will be paid
from the auto license fees and the gas tax, leaving an actual surplus above
tne amount required.

the Secretary of State's office indicate an average license fee of twenty dollars (I.'O.OO)

cries if not taken any time the auto
