URGE. SUPPORT OF
AMENDMENT NO. z

The Nevada Good Roads Club is
making q campaign for the passage of
constitutional amendment No. and
has sent out the following letter Of ex- |
PLANTATION to leading citizens Of the !
State:
There will be voted upon at the
coming general election an amendment
70 the constitution of the State of Ne.
vGda which proposes 10 increase the
borrowing power of the State from
100000 to one per cent of its assessed
valuation.
AT the last session OF Congress the
sum of $75,0O0,OG0 was appropriated
for the construction of good roads in
the United States and of this sum
nearly $l,O0O,000 was apportioned to
The State of Nevada.
TO avail ourselves of this appropri-
alton 1t will be necessary for the State
Of Nevada TO create State highway
fund and with its present limited Dor
rowing power the State Is absolutely
unable to create such a fund and so
| obtain this money.
If this amendment is carried in The
coming election the Legislature will
be asked to create a highway fund.
| which will be distributed among the
various counties in such proportions
a. the Legislature may prescribe. sup.
plcmentIng such funds as the counties
will eXpcnd for road construction
The total amounts thus expended BY
the state OF Nevada and it's various
counties will enable Nevada to secure
this government appropriation of 81,
| 100000.
This proposed amendment is one OF
tho most constructive ever submitted
TO the people OF this state. In The ex
element OF the general election it.
value and importance Is being over
looked.

No. 2 carries Nevada cannot receive
