Road Program Deferred in Other States
What Should New Mexico Do?
By Taxpayers Associatlon)

That states, counties and munic-
ipalities have come TO realization
of the difficulties of the situation
as to public improvements that m
VOlVe vast expenditures is becoming
Increasingly apparent, says the Tax
payers Association of New Mexico
In California, the Automobile
Club of Southern California and
the California State Automobile a 49,
ISOLATION have joined in asking Gov
ernor stephens TO bring about a
suspension of highway construc ion.
Certainly absolutely necessary sec
tons are to be completed and
| maintenance provided for. 1t is
urged, however, that there be a
curtailment of overhead expense
by decreasing the state highway
forces as rapidly as possible.
In its letter, the automobile club
states that at present prices the
$40,000,00O bond issue voted July
/. 1919, will build only half the
mileage contemplated at the time
of the election. and that a higher
rate of interest must be paid to
sell the bonds at this time. The
bonds at the rate of interest they
bear, l-2 per cent, are unsaleable,
and to market them higher rate,
say per cent, must be paid, a
difference that would amount to
100000 year. Vigorous state
ments urging Curtailment of road
work in California have also been
issued by Chief Engineer Fletcher,
of the highway commission; State
Controller Chambers and State
Treasurer Richardson, approving
the proposal on the grounds that
high costs make it impossible to
go ahead with the work as orig
inaly planned.
The Ohio highway commission
states that the transportation diff
culties has caused at least SO per
cent curtailment of the road prL-
gram in that state. The Michigan
commission gives farm labor short
age as the principal problem in
terfering with road building in
places, and the transportation prob
lem in others. In Kansas, because
of the shortage of transportation
and depreciation In value of bonds,
serious situation has arisen, and
only half the proposed program
will be carried out this year.
The Illinois commission contem-
plated awarding contracts for H.
600 miles of highway in 1920, and
hoped to complete half this mile
age. Practically the whole pro-
gram has been abandoned because
of labor and transportation condi-
tons and prevailing high prices"
Iowa reports that contracts for
bridges, culverts and paving have
been reduced to a minimum. The
Missouri announcement Is that "the
labor situation, shortage of trans
portation, shortage and increased
cost of material. have greatly re-
tarded highway construction"
1t will be recalled that Oklahoma
defeated a $50,000,O00 bond pro-
posal last year, partly because the
tremendous amount of interest to
be paid that would increase the
cost of road building so per cent.
The state of Vermont consistently
refuses to issue bonds for road
building purposes. In New Mexico
the people last year defeated the
proposal to give power to the legis-
