WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
state Expenses. Good Roads and Other
Issues That Concern Vermont
Taxpayers.

In an interview with a Burlington
News man, Governor Gates said;
Some of the newspapers ar" bowling
about increased State expenses. OF
course expenses have grown. VII
shouldn't they. as the demands OF tho
people have grown? Take the highways
of the State. for instance. The people
are demanding better and better roads
and they are getting them The cost of
maintaining them Is greater because Of
the increased motor car traffic and the
need Of better roads for this kind Of We
hicle IS apparent. Tho towns vote "A lar
ger sum year by year for highways and
the state matches this amount. SO YOU
see the people want to spend this money
on highways"
The Governor Is considered something
of an authority on highways but will he
undertake to say that the people are get
ting value received for their s4l5, 900 a
year or more, over s2j0O00 Of which comes
from automobile licenses?
He has given personal attention to
highways for a number of years but has
he ever rendered or required a detailed
report of where the money was cXpend-
ed and what the cost Of % construction
and 60 maintenance is per mile
Has he ever advocated or instituted
W
work, 90 proper inspection Of finished
construction or CD a true and accurate
audit of the accounts Of the department?
Has he ever required full days work.
with a full-sizcd team for full-sizod men,
for every days pay issued by the de-
partment?
Getting into other departments, for
which the Governor is supposed to be in
measure responsible, has he over look =
ed into the work of the purchasing
agent? Has he ever investigated state
institutions? Does he know whether they
are well managed, whether they are do
Ing their share toward sclf-support?
IN the aforesaid interview. he makes
the following statement:
u am "A firm believer i'm cutting down
useless expenses wherever it is possible
but ! fail to see where we are spending
much NOR" than We are getting in val

What's the matter with Vernon vege-

hles shipped from New York and Boston
