and since we come to think about IT
nearly every tax payer of consequence,
owns his own car. Paved roads woult
double up the number of car owners

more widely distributed. Tha
idea of special class paying for tn,

Now bear with us a moment and le

this movement: i
And the beauty about the whole
idea is that the reads can be built
without a cent OF cost to any
body in Georgia. That seems an
extreme statement, but it is not.
The tax would be slevied upon
automobiles, and automobiles
would save more than the tax evedy
year because of the difference be-
tween the bad road and the good
one. The motorist who uses the
good roads gets more mileage out
of his gasolene, more mileage out
of his tires saves time, gets more
service cut of his car, than the
man who uses the bad road. And
every one of those items is ex-
pressed in terms of money. IN
creased gasolene mileage is
money saved. Increased tire mile.

money, And longer automobile
life is money saved. The total
would far more than pay the
proposed average tax of 500
year on automobiles. The motor
lists would be glad to pay the tax
in order to have permanent roads
to ride over
There is something else to
think about, and that is the fact
that a permanent road system
would be the best developing
agency Georgia has ever had.
Just for moment think what
would be the value to Georgia Of
fine system of permanent roads,
bordered with palmettoes. with
wild azalea, yellow jasmine, and
shade trees Why with Gecrgia's
climate, with her sea coast, her

in the union that could compare
with her in attactiveness-and
attractiveness is what puts high
err values on land, brings more
people, adds to wealth California
is built largely on the stories
that have been told of her attac-
tiveness, and lots of her stories
were made out OF imagination.
