fact that liberal appropriation was
made by the state for improving the
Lakewood road. He says that com

etc have come up that way look

since last spring. Several dates
have heen set for the commencement
of work, but as yet the visits above

FEDERAL AID AND STATE BOND
ISSUE
In 1916 the federal government pro
vidcd an appropriation of $75,ooo.o9o
to be expended over a period OF I'VE
years for assisting states in the con
struction of their principal thorough
fares. OF this appropriation Maine
WIS entitled TO draw a total OF ST.
90 of which $500, 600 was available
prior 10 July this year. The High
way Commission has arranged 10 taxi
all of this $290,000 and considerable
over 100000 Of the amount has been
drawn. On the first Of July. 1919. an
additional $4,000 was available 10
the state from this original appropria-
ton. and on July l, 1920, $240,o0o more
becomes available At the present
time we cannot apply for the Sl92."eV
as we have no funds with which 10
match the federal government APP
portionment
In March, 1919, the federal govern
ment made an additional S2o0.oVoeo0
available for federal aid, and for the
past three months the state OF Maine
has been entitled to apply for $4S1,O0o
of this money, and on the first day
of July. 1919, we could apply for
S721.847 more. Due 10 want OF funds
for state highway construction, We
have not and cannot apply against
either of these amounts. On the first
day of July, 1920, an additional $721,-
SAT will be available. Altogether
from the original federal aid appro-
priation and the new appropriation,
Maine is entitled to 48,196.53 and
we have only applied for 1920, 80
This leaves practically $2,4O0,0OO OF
federal aid which the state can have
between now and July l, 1920, pro-
vided we are in position to match this
money with state funds. The bond

ture and to be voted upon on the sec

borne in mind: Chief Engineer Paul
d. Sargent, of the Highway Depart
ment, has been told by no less an
authority than ". J. Thompson, Mas
ter of the State Grange and ex-mem-
Der of the Board Of State Assessors,
that of all federal taxation the state
of Maine pays about one per cent. 1t
is a curious coincidence, but OF the
federal aid for road building the state
of Maine is entitled to draw praetc-
ally one per cent. This means that
If we do not accept federal aid now
available we shall lose not only the
amount of the federal aid but We shall
pay in federal taxation an equal
amount. so that we viii lose practic-
ally twice the amount of federal aid
which we can have. provided the bond
issue is passed
To summarize. Let us remember
that the State Highway Commission
is attempting to first complete the
five and one-half per cent of our mile
age included in the system Of state
highways. At the same time the
state and towns together are rebuild
ing an additional twelve per cent of
our mileage comprised in the state aid
highway system. Each Of these sys-
TENS is about one half completed.
These two systems together will di-
rectly benefit and accommodate eigh-
ty-five per cent to ninety per cent of
our population The federal govern
ment is Offering us today nearly ST.
100000 to expend on our state highway
system, and on July /, 1920. will Of
fer US 100000 more for the same pur-
pose. People who have made study
of the situation declare that Maine
cannot afford not to take this money.
Other states will get it if Maine does
not. The bond issue for state high
way and bridge construction offers
the only possibility of Names being
able to match the federal appropria-
tions and secure this federal aid. 1t
is the duty of every voter who has
the states best interest at heart to

with the work constantly in the hands
of inexperienced men? No line of
private business could be successful
under such conditions.
As result of this investigation, the
Legislature in 1907 passed state aid
law providing for more liberal pay
ment of state aid 10 the poor towns
than to the Weather towns and cities.
We worked along under this law until
1913 and built about $50 miles Of state
aid road, at a cost OF about s. 650, 900.
In 1909 the Legislature provided
that funds remaining in the appro-
priation for state aid after providing
for the payment of state aid applied
for by the cities and towns might be
used by the state highway commits
sioner in building connecting links be-
tween state aid roads. This was the
first step which really had for it's OBJ
ject the working out of connected
system of state highways. Not very
much road building was accomplished
under this provision as there was not
very large surplus in the state aid
appropriation any year.
In 1913 the law which we are now
working under was passed. This law
provided for the creation of state
highway commission, the laying out
of system of state highways and a
system OF state aid highways, and pro-
vided for two million dollar bond
issue to be expended in the construc-
ton of state highways. 1t provided
at the same time for an annual appro-
priation of 100000 for state aid.
The Highway Commission has laid
out system of state highways con-

ond Monday Of September, offers the
only opportunity for accepting the
federal governments very generous
adrr of aid as outlined above APP
nnrtionments of federal aid stand for
twelve months and if not taken by
the state 10 which the apportionment
is originally made, the money Is re
apportoned to other states. Gonse-
aupntly. between now and July l. 1920,
Maine must be prepared to file appli-
cations against all of this money eX-
espt about $4,000 and we will have
an additional twelve months on the
apporfiOnments made on July l, l92e.
II is the intention of the State
Highway Commission, provided the
bond issue is passed. to Immediately
request the Secretary OF Agriculture,
to approve the entire state highway
system as federal aid road. and the
Commission has had unofficial assur-
anee that this will be done In this
case federal aid will be used in pro-
scouting the reconstruction OF all state
highways. and ii is estimated by the
Commission that four or five years
AT the outside will see every mile OF
state highway now laid out completed
These points should be borne in
in mind about the bond issue: 1t IS
designed TO provide money for the con-
struction of state highways, intra-
and interstate bridges. The bonds
will be issued only as they are re
quired.
If this bond issue is authorized II
will make possible the acceptance oil
further federal aid which undoubted-
" will be granted by the federal gov
eminent, as bills are already in Con-
gress asking for further federal aid
appropriations to supplement those
already provided which will expire IN
1921 If the state is Obliged to agi-
tate a bond issue every few years to
meet federal aid it means that we
shall lose one whole seasons work
of road construction each time a bond
issue Is being discussed.
There is one point in connection
with the federal aid which should be

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York, Oct. 30.-The New York
Evening Sun Financial Review today
said:
Trading in the securities market to-
day was left largely in the hands Of
the professional element.
The opening prices were with very
few exceptions moderately lower and
as the session advanced heaviness be-
came more pronounced at intervals
Trading was not aggressive although
the total turn over was not apprecia bly,
less than in recent session. Among the
Standard shares recessions ranged from
l to points. Steel moved between
log and 107. Republic Iron and Steel
had expansive moments. Baldwin
Locomotive dropped below 140 for the
first time in several weeks. The Mo-
tors were affected unfavorably by the
general unsettlement and the oils
likewise.
Reader absorption more than neu-
tralized offerings through a good part
to reverse their position to some eX-
tent. The result was a firmer tone in
general and in many instances consid-
cradle display of strength. United
States Rubber and Republic Iron and
Steel were run up to gains of to 7
points in the last hour. st. Paul got
back to 10S, the Wednesday closing
level. The movement, however, invited
realizing sales anew and the closing
was Indifferent. In the period of the
session the call money rate advanced
to per cent.
