MORE GOOD ROADS
One of the questions which
Gov. Brough is considering in
connection with the call for
the extraordinary session of
the legislature is th^t of the
inclusion of a project for a
statp highway system that will
co-ordinarte the county and
local roads.
The main feature of the
plan that has been proposed
are:
The issuance of approxi
mately $30,000,000 of serial
bonds, the proceeds to be used
in the construction of durable
roads connecting the county
seats of the various counties
and the principal towns on a
uniform plan and with refer
ence to the density oftraffic.
Thp bonds are to be issued
from time to time as the con
struction progresses and the
construction is to be begun
simultaneously in different
Darts of t.hp st.at.p
The Highway Department
and the Advisory Board as
now constituted or as may be
enlarged, with such powers as
the eLgislature may see fit to
confer, would be authorized
to contract with Improvement
Districts where roads forming
a part of the State System are
constructed or in process of
construction. The state would
pay to such districts not ex
ceeding two thirds of the val
ue of the roads, the fnuds to
be used by the district either
in retiring their bonds or to
be used in the construction of
an improved type of surace.
Where the hoads have not
been constructed, the High
way Department and Advisory
Board would be authorized to
enter into contracts whereby
the Improvement Districts
would contribute toward the
cost of the roads adopted as a
nart of the state system not
less than one third of the cost
Under this plan the Improve
ment District would be utiliz
ed in constructing the roads
but would have to pav ap
proximately only one third of
the cost o the road instead of
100 per cent.
i ne ncens0 iees on motor
j^hicles is to be increased so
as to produce an average of
$25 per car or truck, the fees
to be graded according to the
horse power on automobiles^
and on trucks according to the
horse power and tonnage cap
acity. One fifth o the license
fees is to be set aside as a sep
arate fund for the permanent
maintenance of the state road,
I to be expended by the state
highway commission undter a
patrol system, subject to the
apnroval of the county courts
and to be apnortioned accord
ing to the mileage and quality
of roads built in each county.
Four fifths, or approximately
$20 of the fe0 for each vehi
cle is to be set aside as a sink
ing fund for paying the in
terest and retiring the bonds
as they fall due.
The interest and thp prin
cipal of the bonds as they ma
ture would be paid first, out
of the proportion o the license
fees set aside for the retire
men of the bonds and as a
guaranty that interest and. the
principal would be promptly
met, it is to be proposed that
the Legislaturp levy a direct
tax for such an amount as may
be necessary to meet any de
ficiency in the contemplated
license fees.
Calculations based on a
small increase in motor license
annually for the next twenty
years and an average of 100,
000 motor licenses annually
for the next twenty years,
show that ample funds would
be raised from this source to
pay the interest and retire the
bonds to a better advantage
and at a lower rate of interest.
Those who have made a
careful study of the situation
are of the opinion that a law
of this character would make
the burden less on thp proper
ty owners and result in a more
equitable system of building
roads
It is probable that the call
for the extra session will not
bp issued until the end of the
week, as Gov. Brough is en
deavoring to secure from the
members an expression of
their wishes in the premises.
