sum will be secured from the fed
eral government, and with approx
imately fifty millions of dollars,
North Carolina will have a gooo
system of roads. The plan is not all
together dissimilar to South Caro-
lina's plan. The automobile license
tax is to be raised to seventy-five
cents per horsepower and it is esti-
mated that there are between $4,000
and 100000 automobiles in the
state. At that rate about the same
amount of money will be raised as
