MEANS BOOST FOR
BETTER HIGHWAYS
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CON-
STITUTiON WHICH HAS BEEN
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
WOULD AUTHORIZE LOANS
1t Will Also Place the Levy For Road
Purposes On All the Taxable
Property.
Little Rock

l4lltle
Senators Futrell and Ashley, au
thors of proposed constitutional
amedment pending in the house, after
passing the Senate, believe that If
adopted by the people it will do much
to bring about realization of good
roads throughout the state.
The proposed amendment would
permit counties to borrow money on
30 years time for the Improvement of
roads and highways. Under the con-
stitution 3 mill road tax can be
levied annually if authorized by the
qualified electors at the preceding gen
eral election. A provision, however,
makes 1t impossible for counties to Dor
row money for the building of perma-
ment roads Because of this provision
1t Is difficult for permanent roads to be
built except few miles at time. The
proposed amendment authorizes the
counties to levy the tax for definite
period and to borrow money for road
improvement. In this way a large
sum may be realized for road improve
the construction of a few permanent
roads across the counties and the in.
provement of the laterals The tax
collected is to be used to pay interest
on the debt and to create a sinking
fund to pay off the debt
A feature of the proposed amend
ment that appeals to the land owners
is that 1t changes the old method of
raising the road tax by putting the
levy upon all taxable property in the
county instead of on real estate only.
The amendment provides that both
the annual levy and the tax for pc
ried of years cannot be in force at the
same time. The levy of one will ex-
clude the levy of the other
"Thesamendment will in no wise in
terfere with improvements districts"
said Senator Futrell Some people
seem to have the idea that the law
concerning improvement districts
would be affected by the passage OF
this amendment There would be no
change in the matter of forming or of
governing improvement districts.
Il believe. however. that if the
amendment is adopted, the means it
provides for road improvement will be
found more satisfactory than the form
ing of road Improvement districts The
courts have held that a road improve
ment district formed to borrow money
may not include all of county be-
cause of the provision of the constitu-
tion which prohibits the counties from
borrowing money
