writes, cannot be attained except by

principle that barrages shall be laid

German surface craft to clear a
passage shall be prevented by the
concentration Of our own surface
craft

The important thing TO remember
is that I'm going and coming. German
submarines do not move until surface
craft have cleared a channel. To smash

No extensive road Improvement in
any community can be carried on with

raised by direct taxation extending
through q short term. 1t Is unjust to
expect the taxpayers Of today to as
sumo the total cost Of an improvement
which Is to last into the next genera
tion, 50 bonds are usually issued to
finance the building Of roads that Will
permanently cut down maintenance ex-
pense and reduce hauling costs. These
bonds are sold and thus converted In
to money. Interest on the bonds Is
paid and the bonds retired by funds
obtained from current road taxes.
When the bonds have been paid the
community still has its concrete roads
IN excellent condition.
No community can afford to spend
its money with less caution than pri-
vate individual would display. The
community should do likewise. When
you are asked to vote for q bond issue
to build concrete roads you are not
raising public money to spend 1t. but to
invest 1t. As concrete road mileage
in a community II increased. the bur.
den Of road maintenance decreases,
and the saving thus resulting will not
only pay interest on the bonds, but
provide funds to retire them as they
fall due. In this way borrowing Is
made profitable.
