BONDING FOR ROADS

An excellent argument in favor of
bonding the state of Vermont for two
million dollars for building the main
trunk line roads is made by the Bur
lington Clipper and this article is re.
printed in The Banner. The Clipper
makes some strong points but it seems
to The Banner that it does not quite
prove its case.
The Clipper would have the state
bond to raise two million dollars to
build the state roads and then pay off
the bonds by a direct state tax OF ten
cents on the dollar for ten years. This
would mean that the state would have
to pay interest charges of around q
half million dollars for the use of the
two millions
People have nowadays learned that
there is no such thing as permanent
roads. Even the best OF roads have
to be kept up at considerable expense
from year to year and we do not be-
lieve that the state ought to bond for
temporary expenditure. Bonding is
all right for public buildings, sewers,
water systems and other enduring
public works but it seems to the Ban
ner that il is not good business
to sell bonds to pay running expenses
and road building is running ex-
pense that runs into money rapidly
1t appears to us that it would be
better for the state to take over the
main trunk lines and assess a direct
state tax to build and maintain them
and pay the bills as we go along. A.
direct state road tax of twenty cents
for five years would raise s2,500.000
and could all be used for roads and
not have one dollar out of every five
so for interest.
A direct state tax of twenty cents
on the dollar for five years would be
quite burden but we believe the state
would rather pay it and have the
roads built and paid for and the bur
den off our hands than to have the
load strung along for ten years and
$500 600 of it paid out in interest. If
this were done il would release the
present state road appropriations OF
over 100000 year to aid the towns
on their tributary roads where so
much work is needed and 100000 per
year for five years would enable all
the towns to get their back roads in
to good condition.
After the roads were built il Would
cost of course good deal of money TO
keep them up TO a proper standard but
that will have to be met anyway under
any system. II the roads were once
built however the present state apprb-
priations and half the automobile mon
ely would go a long way toward keep
ing them in, condition.
The problem of the state is just the
same as the problem of the towns. If
the state is to have good state roads
the people must pay the bills. If the
towns are to have good local roads the
people must met the cost. For either
state roads or local roads bonding
largely increases the cost and we
might better walk up to the captains
office and pay the bill as we go along.

Such a practice is impossible when, as is
the case of many of our organizations, their
identity is lost or merged Of course, the
Guard regiments upon entering the Federal
service must be systematically classified, but
it seems 20 me that some plan could be
adopted under which their identity is not
wholly lost. Cannot it be done? / am sure
that this will appeal to many OF the veterans
Of our splendid Guard regiments, and /
should like to hear their opinions on the

License Department Good Work

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Sundays newspapers there appeared
n statement from the Real Estate Board OF
New York containing a number Of suggest
ions for cutting the city budget for 1918.
As to the merit of most Of these suggest
ions am not informed. | do, however, feel
very strongly that the suggestion for the
abolition of the Department Of Licenses
could only have been made by person to-
tally unfamiliar with the great value to the
people Of the city Of that department
Som. months ago the work OF that depart
rnent rst came to my attention through the
interest that /. in common with thousands Of
women in the Borough of Brooklyn, had in
the question OF clean motion pictures.
found that the Department of Licenses had
during the present administration, developed
a method of dealing with this intricate and
difficult problem, as n result of which tremen-
Gous improvements have been achieved. IhiS
work, so vital to every citizen OF the city,
and particularly TO every parent, would be
totally lost if the issuance Of licenses were
regarded as a method of collecting revenue
Moving picture regulation is only one small
part Of the work of the department which
includes too many social welfare activities 10
mention in this letter. Some Of them, such
as the wonderful work Of the Public En-
ployment Bureau and the new way OF giving
newspaper stands to the blind and crippled
instead of making them political patronage,
are known to most of the citizens of the city.
These activities are exactly where they be-
long and are no part of the work either Of
the Police Department or The Controllers
Office.
am certain that there is nobody in the
city except those responsible for the news
paper statement referred TO, who would be-
grudge the money spent on the Department
OF Licenses. In fact, have heard objection
made by people well informed as 70 its work
that not enough money is available for the
use Of the Commissioner Of Licenses.
u seems to me that it is now time for
these people publicly TO express their views

Why Milk Goes Up

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How many Of the residen Of the
metropolis are aware Of the conditions Of
the milk trade in your city! During the last
week members Of the Dairymen's League in
this county have received notices from
league heade Iarters in New York directing
them 20 deliver no more milk 20 local cream
cries owned and operated by New York milk
dealers after September 80 unless these deal
ers sign the league contract
Dairymen in this county are making prepa-
rations to obey the order, so unless these
contracts are signed before October l there
will be another milk famine in the city. With
cows bringing from 500 TO 1925, feed from
$50 TO 800 ton, help from $50 to $50 q
month and board, and the restrictions which
the city authorities put on the production OF
milk and other necessary expenses, dairymen
cannot produce milk al less than from TO s
cents quart. II farmers had their cooper
alive cresmeries now they would be in shape
TO win this contest easily

Preserve Historic Regiments

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The suggestions which follow are
prompted By the gratifying announcement IN
this mornings papers that Colonel W. c.
Fisk Is to retain the command Of the eth
Regiment, which is to retain its identity IN
measure by being known as the 10th.
This is as It should be, and will please the
present personnel as well as the hundreds
OF veterans of this old historical command,
the pride OF New York.
think il is fact that Of the several
well known British regiments, notably the
Foot Guards. Coldstream Guards and the
Black Watch. which went with the first ex-
peditionarv force 70 France in 1914, nearly
all have suffered the loss OF the original
component members, and yet their identity
has been preserved. A British officer now
on duty in New York tells me that one regi-
ment has had over 10000 in its ranks in the
past three years, all known under the regi-
mental title The proud record OF some Of
these regiments extends over many decades
and in some instances their history is merged
in hazy but glorious past.
| think am not in error when | say that
very beautiful annual service is had, at
which TINE the sergeants read off list Of
all members from the foundation OF the
corps who have died in action or of wounds
or who have been honorably discharged. At
the conclusion Of the ceremony the color,
are trooped, the regiment salutes and an off
GER announces them as absent but accounte 4

who might be as foolish as 1 was before ]

Some ten days ago I allowed friend 20

When my turn came needless 20 say

watch on his every move. lie asked me 10
be seated and allow him 70 pass the folded

a large pad in his hand, which he used as a
screen, as he quickly copied my name and
absorbed the questions. The card was then
