WILL RAISE FIVE
MILLION FOR ROADS
McArdle Explains Increased Lev
les Which Lister Is Expected
to Veto.

To clear up the muddle as to the ex-
act amount which will be available
during the coming two years for the
construction OF good roads under the
mill and half levy allowed by the
house, Chairman McArdle Of the house
roads and bridges committee issued
the following explanation this week
ITO put it In a plain statement.
there are two funds, one known as the
state highway fund, which under its
present levy Of one-half mill will pro.
duce 100000, which will be available
during the year 1913. Add to this the
amount which will become available
during 1914, as fixed by the IN mill
levy which passed the house last week
and we will have q sum approx
mately $500. 900, making total in
the state highway fund Of approx
mately $2,000.000. This fund. II
should be understood, is for state
highways only.
"The second fund Is what Is known
as the permanent highway fund, which
with its one mill levy under the pres
ent law will produce $1.000.000. which
will be available during the year 1913
Add to this the amount which will be
available under the proposed az mill
levy, which seems more than likely to
pass, and which will produce $780,.
600, there will be available during the
next biennium $3,5O0,000 in the per
manent highway fund. This amount
belongs to and must be expended In
the counties in which 1t was raised.
"Thus there will be raised in the
two funds an amount approximatine
S., 100000 for highway purposes, to be
expended in this state during the next
biennium."
Governor Listers attitude on the
proposed increase of three mills In
the road levy is being watched with
keen anxiety, the general opinion being
that he will veto the measure, in view
of his campaign statements and the
recommendations in his inaugural
message, and will hold the amount
available to the sum that would be
raised by the original one mill levy
and the discretionary half mill. Com
menting on the pending road legisla
ture, he said this week:
1T must be borne in mind that this
state has not as yet the machinery for
permanent road construction on q
large scale. We have not equipped
ourselves SO as to be in position to
know that when large expenditures
are authorized, really permanent high.
ways will be the result. This will
come from applied knowledge-in 9th
er words from knowledge, plus ex
perience. Our efforts up to this time
have not been so brilliantly successful
as to cause me to think that it will be
good policy to pile up enormous
amounts of money In the treasury for
construction, for it might result In
all the money being spent without OBJ
tanning the class of highways which
the people would have right to ex
pect from the size of the expendi.

} DEAD, MANY HURT IN
 LONG ISLAND WRECK
Steel Cars Save Lives When
 Trains Crash Haad-On.

Two fast electric steel car Long Island triins coIlided head-on at Third avenue and Eighteenth street, College Point. N Y. Three men were killed. and at least thirty were seriously injured. A mis- take in signals was to blame for the wreck. The motorman of tke Manhat- tan bound train uuderstood that he was to pass the Whitestone bound train at Whitestone. and the other mo torman understood that the passing was to be at College Point Both trains were therefore rushing at a speed of forty-fve miles an hour when the crash came.
 That the list of dead and injured from the wreck is not longer than 1t is Is due to the fact that the three cars which made up each train were all of steel construction. When the crash came. therefore. the vestibules simply crumpled in and the cars rolled over alongside of the track. The motormen were. of course. at their throttles and the dead conductor was standing In the vestibule of the Manhattan bound train
