FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.

In order for Florida to obtain fed
eral aid for its road building program
it is now necessary for the state to
collect two mills from every county
Those states which do not provide a
fund to match the Federal aid are left
out in the cold and the money is re-
apportioned so that to him that has
is given"
With the bonding amendment car
ried in November, it will not be neces-
sary to collect the two mills, but the
money will be provided from the
bonds and the sinking fund and the
interest win be provided from the in
come from motor driven vehicles as
recommended by the State Road I'm
provement Committee an organiza-
ton constituted from thevarious au-
tomobile and good roads associations
of the state.
An act of Congress, approved July
II. 1916. provides that the United
States shall aid the different states in
the construction of rural post roads.
and for other purposes. One of the
provisions is that when any amount
of government money is appropria ted
to a state that state shall appropriate
an equal amount of money for the pur-
pose of constructing and building roads
and bridges in the state. Since the
passage of this act of Congress, the
amount of money apportioned to Flor
ida is $3,150,25S97. In order to accept
the terms of this act of congress and
to provide an amount of money equal
to the amount furnished by the gov
eminent, Chapter 1901 of the Laws of
Florida, 1919. was passed. This law
provides that levy of mills should
be made to provide money to meet the
government aid, and in addition the
value OF the labor of state convicts. On
account OF this additional amount of
money to be handled by the State
Road Department, an additional bond
or $4,000 for the State Highway En-
gineer was provided for the faithful
performance of his duties The amount
or federal aid available for the com
ing year is $1,147,447.92.
The last named amount is the last
amount available under the present ma
uonal legislation, but there is a bill
now pending and will be taken up at
the next session of Congress in Decem-
Der whereby four hundred and twenty
i've millions Of dollars will be appro-
priated for federal aid to states for
road building. This amount is about
double to what was provided on the /
last occasion.

"Yes" Means Good Roads.

| At the November election the peo
! pie of Florida will decide whether they
| want permanent system of Highways
| reaching to every part of the state
| or whether they are satisfied with the
roads which now cover Florida, such
as they are.
The issue is drawn; the verdict pa
pers will appear in this form:
| Proposed Constitutional Amendment
Amendment of Section Six, of Article
! Yes.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
Amendment of Section Six. of Arti-
Gle TX, Relating to Taxation of FL
nance.
No.
An X alongside yes means a per-
manent system of highways for Flori-
da, with no county not included, and
which will be completed within the
next eight years at least. 1t means
that these roads will be paid for by
the people who use them. 1t means
that the two mill tax now levied on
real and personal property to meet
federal aid will be removed. 1t means
that Florida will take her place among
the progressive states of the Union.
It means a solution of the transporta-
ton problem, which is so vitality han
dicap to this state at the present time.
1t means increased values for every
investment in Florida It means good
roads, and. next to churches and
schools. good roads are most impor-
tant.
An X alongside mo" means that
Florida is not to have a complete sys-
tenn of permanent highways; that the
state is not as progressive as its
neighboring states; that we are COP
tented with the roads we have at the
present time, regardless of the varying
conditions they happen to be in 1t
means that good roads work is set
back ten years in Florida while other
states of the Union are forging ahead.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment and good roads are inseparabie;
to vote for the former is to realize the
other, and to defeat the former IS to-
injure indefinitely the latter.
The people OF Florida--ehose who
are concerned over the welfare and
progress of the state-will vote yes
for the amendment and good roads
There is no alternative. - Florida
