variously estimated at from thirty to
fifty thousand dollars. The finance
and appropriations committees can as-
curately gauge the maintenance cost
for the remainder Of this year.
IAAse1A Inprovsasat
This year there is no money availa-
BILE for the internal Improvement fund
out of the capitol building fund except
the margin of difference between the
sum Of the outstanding liabilities and
cost of maintenance and the net col
lectible revenue which will amount t.
tls9, 9,027.27. The highway commission
will have 100000 which is to be
doubled by equal appropriations in the
several counties. We need good roads
and we will spend every dollar avail
able for this purpose, but We must not
postpone the payment of other obliga-
tions now due in order to add to the
road fund. In 1915 the highway com
mission will not only have the annual
internal Improvement fund Of 3l6O, 900,
but viii receive in addition ESQ, 900
from the half mill levy making . total
Of At least es0O,O0O. This sum whea
met by a equal appropriation frsa
the several counties will amount to Ut
