built with borrowed money 1t is. of
course. especially important to avoid
this error. On the ether hand, however,
II is not necessary to regard the total
cost of surfacing a road as temper
airy Improvement Much Of the sur
facing may be ciassed as a permanent
investment, for it is becoming more
and more common to have surfaces
built in two courses, the lower of
which is as much a permanent feature
of construction as the grading itself.
This is particularly true of those
types Of road that are built with con-
crete foundations for bituminous-
macadam, brick, or asphalt surfaces.
It is probably conservative, indeed, to
regard 40 per cent of the surfacing
cost of maeadam OF more enduring
pavements as permanent investment.
1t is seldom nowadays that hard
roads are permitted to wear into the
foundation course of the surfacing.
Probably it Is safe to say that an
average of about SO per cent of the
total cost, of well-built maeadam
road should be put into the permanent
features, and with bituminous-
macadam roads, about Sc per cent.
This method of estimating cannot be
applied to any gravel or natural soil
road in which no part of the surfacing
can advantageously be considered per-
manent, for under most systems of
maintenance it steadily deteriorates.

Mr.. Sargent believes that the most
rational scheme for federal aid which
has been proposed is the one submit
ted to Congress by ex-senator Bourne
of Oregon, who, for the past two years
has been investigating the subject as
chairman of the joint committee on
federal aid in the construction of post
roads. Senator Bourne's scheme is
briefly, as follows:
When any state desires federal aid
ii shall deposit with the United States
treasury state highway bonds bearing
per cent. interest; that government
will supply funds to the amount of
the face of the bond, having raised the
money by the sale of similar govern
ment bonds, bearing per cent. inter
est. The state will continue to pay the
United States treasury per cent. for
a term of between 40 and SO years,
wheen the government will return the
state bond cancelled. The 1 per cent.
difference in the interest paid by the
state to the government and by the
government to the purchasers of its
bonds creates a sinking fund which
will retira the bonds in between 40 and
SO years. In this way each state pays
for what it gets and Is not taxed for
a federal aid fund which may be ex-
pended in other states.
Another feature of Senator Bourne's
scheme is that the federal government
and the state will each guarantee to
porvide annually per cent. Of the
amount of federal aid obtained as
above by any state to be used as a
fund for the maintenance of roads con-
structed with federal aid.
Pres. Wilson was to receive the State
Highway Commission and engineers at
p. NJ Saturday.
At Chicago Mr. Sargent will open
the discussion on Gravel Road Con-
struction" before the Western Assoc
citation of State Highway Engineers
Tuesday, and Wednesday he will take
part in the discussion of the topic ''Or-
ganization Of a State Highway Depart
ment," at the American Road Builders
convention.

No Revenue Tax Stamps Required

DIR. A. G. Young. secretary of the
State Board Of Health, has recently
been receiving many queries from
city clerks asking If returns of birth
and death certificates were subject TO
the federal revenue stamp, and in con-
sequence DIR. Young wrote to the COM
missioner of internal revenue Mt
Washington, d. c. The reply which
DIR. Young received reads as follows;
In reply to your letter of the Goth
ultimo you are informed that returns
of birth. certificates of death, and
certificates of registration as to facts
declared concerning births, marriages
and deaths, are none of them held To
be subject to the stamp tax imposed
upon certificates in view of the fact
that these certificates are given N
pursuance of State laws for public
purposes"

Per Capita Consumption of Liquor
Reviewed by Decades

The liquor interests making much of the fact
that the Withdrawals of liquor for consumption for the
year ending June 80, 1913, apparently exceeded the
Withdrawals OF liquor for the year previous They do
not mention the fact that the Withdrawals of liquor for
consumption 81 gallons less for the year ending
June 80, 1912, than for the previous year They are
always careful to say nothing of the check that has
been put upon the consumption of liquor during the
last ten years. There may be variation in the con-
sumption OF liquor from year year which viewed by
itself may mean very little one way or the other In
order to get fair estimate of the per capita consump-
ton 1t is necessary to consider the consumption for
periods longer than single year. The following fig
ures show what direction the per capita consumption
Of liquor in United States is taking:
