ing necessary and permanent FUND
for annual use could not fail to be dis
astrous in the end. This appropria-
tion-like hundreds of others-would
be thrown into the hopper for the BIZ
ennial legislative grinding. or, to use
another figure which has SO frequently
been used in regard to our prohibition
amendment-would be made a foot
ball for personal and party ambitions
And such statement does not dis
count or belittle in any way the char
acter of the legislators themselves
They are human and subject to human
conditions.
Now, let us all reflect for moment
The development of the roads in Maine
has become recognized as sound and
sane economic principle. We believe
in the principle. Furthermore, time is
an element of actual moment, for our
neighbors have not only accepted the
principle-that is easy enough!-but
have built the roads. We shall soon
be too late to profit materially by the
expenditure.
And then, too, there are other and
vital objections to the direct grant by
the Legislature. For example: pro-
vided a grant Of $4,000 for two years
were made by the next Legislature, I'M
less the emergency clause were at
tached. the first 100000 would not be-
come available until 80 days after the
bill was passed or in other words until
about July first. The Highway Com
mission-ignorant as to what would be
granted-could make no plans before
the first of May. Then all the engi-
neering must be done, contracts let,
and working crews organized. 1t
would certainly not be earlier than
August or September that any work
could be done that year. And this
same condition must prevail every
second year. 1t does not take very
keen intellect to discover that under
such haphazard plan as this no pro-
gressive and effective scheme Of high
way construction could ever be de-
veloped either in Maine or in any 9TH
.er community.
No: this will not do. For, in order
to plan our highway work with in
telligence and foresight for a period of
eight, ten, or even 20 years to come
and this must be done if we wish to
attain results in the proper time and
at the least possible expensive must
so arrange our grants that money
which we can afford to devote to each
department of our highway funds. may
be regular in amount, properly as
sured, and provided for series of
years. Let us now make our plans for
at least ten years to come. And. fur
thermore, let us so provide for the
raising and appropriating of the ne
cessary funds that our highway au-
thorities-whoever they may be-may'
see their way clear, and the means
provided for a proper and complete
solution of our highway problems.
And. last but in no sense least in i'm
portance let us see that we have prop
erly provided for the ever increasing
costs of adequate maintenance.
