cess of the estimate.
SECTION 3. That this act shall be
in force from and after its ratifca-
ton
AS will be noted from the above,
the revenue necessary for giving
the engineering assistance is to be
derived from the tax on automobiles.
At the annual meeting of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association
this question of revenue was very
fully discussed, and the automobile
lists present, who represent all parts
of the state, were unanimously in
favor OF this bill, and were of the
opinion that the tax upon automo-
Dlles should go 1or this purpose,
and that If this was done, there
would be little or no complaint
from the Automobiles on account
