clpal remain constant, and this is an
advantage as the tax is then uniform.
Serial Cords.
The serial bond differs somewhat
from the annuity bond, because, in
stead of keeping the annual payment
Of both principal and interest constant,
the amount of principal that is re-
tired each year alone remains fixed.
This type Of bond has become moro
common for highway purposes in re-
cent years, and during 1912 and 1913
the number Of serial issues exceeded
the number Of issues for any other
single given term. The Office of pub
lie roads received reports from these
two years for SIS, 30o,819 in the serial
highway bonds, which is over 20 per
cent Of the total county and district
bonds for which the period or t.rm
Of issue was reported. The first re-
tirement Of serial bonds is sometimes
deferred for number Of years.
The continued success of highway
bonds as a means OF road improvement
will depend largely on whether Or not
the county authorities follow these
principles Of sound road financing:
(a) A steady and well administered
| system of meeting interest and provid-
| ing for the retirement Of bonds on
| maturity, whether by means Of sink
ing fund, by the annuity method, Or
| erI,
| CD The limiting OF expenditures FOR
road improvements to sums which are
warranted by the actual saving in
cost Of hauling that the road improve
ment will effect. In this item may
also be considered increased tonnage
which follows road Improvement
(c) Expending bond moneys only
on roads of such character that a
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-04-06

satisfactory share OF this money may
be regarded as permanent improve
ment. This means that the bond is
sue should not be spread so thin over
an exorbitant mileage that the im-
provement will be largely superficial
and practically disappear in very
short time.
It means, also, that large percent
age of the bond issue should go into
building a satisfactory and permanent
foundation for the road which will call
thereafter principally for resurfacing
repairs, rather than for frequent COM
plete reconstruction.
(d) Provision for proper main
tenance and repair of a bond-built road
throughout the life of the bonds, so
that when bonds are retired the coun-
ty will still have an actual and valu-
able property to show for it's expendi-
ture.
(e) Limiting the term of bonds SO
that the life of the bond will not ex-
coed the life of the improvement.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-04-06

The proper method of retiring rural
highway bonds is one of the serious
problems which must be worked out
by county commissioners and others
intrusted with the expenditure OF road
funds. The three methods usually
followed for meeting bonds at maturity
are known as the sinking fund, annu-
ity, and serial bond plans
Sinking Fund Bonds.
The majority of highway bonds now
outstanding have been issued as
straight terminable bonds to be retired
by sinking funds. The term Of these
bonds varies from 10 to 40 years,
with an average Of nearly Is years.
The fund to retire them is accumu-
lated by annual installments paid by
the taxpayers, and is supposed to draw
interest continuously and to accumu-
late a sufficient amount to discharge
the debt at maturity The interest
which the sinking fund draws is usu-
ally from one to two per cent less
than the interest paid for the loan.
Five per cent highway bonds are com
mon with the sinking fund calculated
to draw three and one-half per cent in
terest.
The following table shows the an
nual payments which, with interest at
three, three and one-half and four per
cent, compounded semi-annuaily, will
amount to $1,000 at the end CT a term
of years.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-04-06

of interest on the sinking fund to dis
charge the debt at maturity. The ex-
istence of the sinking fund is a con-
slant temptation to municipal officers
to use it for purposes other than the
purpose Originally intended. If
county, for example, issues bonds for
a second object, it is easy to argue
that the sinking fund already accumu-
lated may be used to purchase the new
securities and the finances of the COM
munity are likely to become much con-
fused This is particularly true since
the officers in charge Of such opera
tons are frequently changing. Sink
ing fund tax levies may be deferred
through carelessness or under pressure
of other needs. The sinking fund al
ways requires careful attention, be-
cause it does not progress automat-
ically in most cases. 1t has some
times been entirely neglected. The
total cost to the community of bond
issue retired by a sinking fund will
be considerably greater in the end
than the cost of the same bond issue
made by either the annuity method or
by the serial method.
By the annuity method of issuing
bonds both the principal and interest
arc discharged by constant annual or
semiannual payments. The amount
of each payment or installment is de-
ter,1ined by the term of the bord. 1t
usually is necessary to subdivide the
bond issue into individual bonds of
800, $500, or $1,000 each. The result
ing periodic payment of principal and
interest aust vary slightly because OF
this adjustment Under the annuity
plan the amount of principal retired

HAULING OVER PUBLIC ROADS
Prevailing Cost in the United States
Is About Twenty-Three Cents
Per Ton Per Mile.

The prevailing cost of hauling over
the public roads of the United States
is about % cents per ton per mile.
More than 350,00O,00O tons are hauled
over these roads each year, and the
average haul is about eight miles,
from which it can readily be seen that
our annual bill for hauling over the
public roads is nearly $650,Oo0.000.

AIR BUBBLES PROTECT FER

fornia, Are Now eroksn Up bya
Unique Device.

One Of the most unique and sue
ccssful methods for protecting a pier
during a storm is in use at III Seq
undo, CAL, the Pathfinder states.
The pier there extended more than
1000 feet into the hay, but violent
storm some time ago carried nearly
half OF it AVA and rocked the re-
naming structure to such an extent
that people feared it, too. would soon
so.
As FL Segundo is one of the great
shipping ports of California, it was
recognized as vital to the interests
Of the community that the pier be
preserved il possible. With this end
in view a four-inch perforated pipe
was laid in the bny about AS feet he
yond the end of the wharf and paral-
lei to it.
Each end Of this pipe was coupled
to other pipes running back 10 the
pier and attached to two air COM
pressors. Additional piping was laid
around the end Of the pier and also
connected with the comprcssors.
making in all more than 200 feet.
Now when a storm comes up and
waves begin to roll in. the coLl-
prcssors are started working. causing
innumcrablc air bubbles TO rise TO
the surface from the perforated
pipes. Almost instantly the waves
often IS feet high--arc broken up
into myriads Of tiny wavclcts no
larger than those seen on a quiet
summer day, while farther ont. be-
yond the protected area the waves
roll rs high as ever.
As the pier is costly structure,
the owners do not feel that they are
subjected to an unddly heavy expense
in r-"'"rting it in this manner.

STRONG GPULLI IS NEEDEDFOR WAR
 WELFARE EFFORT

Photographic reports received by the local Y. M. C. A. every day telling of the progress of the $35. 5000, 900 cam- paign for War Welfare Work from In- ternational Committee in New York These reports show that the entire country is aflame with patriotic CO., operation. Many states, cities and towns have already agreed to double their goals.
 In Butte. Montana, 5000 miners sub scribed to this fund. The country over large corporations and insurance com- panies are making this fund an excep- ton to the rule and subscribing gen. erously. In the east, states and cities have issued challenges for campaign competition. Cleveland has challenged Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit to overtake her if possible on a per capi- ta basis Last nights telegram from New York states that only by maintain ing to the end of the campaign a strong steady average of daily returns will it be possible to raise the fund needed and urges that at no point should the line Waver through lack of appreciation of the great necessity Of raising in every city and town the lars- est possible amount, and also stating that the greater the fund the longer the interval between the present cam paign and the next.
 Dr. J. c. Norton, chairman of the Phoenix district, when seen last night, stated that so far the Phoenix district which is endeavoring to raise $12.000 only have received in actual pledges turned in a little over $z,00e. This has been practically all raised in Phoenix and the reports from the outside towns are not yet in, but he is very sure that we are far short of our goal. The fund in Phoenix has been subscribed by a very small percentage of the population. The actual canvass for funds in Phoe- nix was practically stopped because most of our apportionment was raised at the dinner at the Woman's club. The original idea in this campaign was to get subscriptions from as many people as possible and it is found that a great many people in Phoenix wece expecting to be called upon and wish to give to this fund. AS the commit tees are not systematically canvassing the entire city Dr. Norton wishes to state that anyone wishing to give to this fund any amount can do so by calling at the local Y. NJ. c. A. He feels that the city of Phoenix should give S1 900 to s1,500 more in small pledges ranging from S1 to S25 each.
 The International Committee in charge here hope to receive enough money in this drive to carry the work until next October instead of June 31 as planned.
