road must come first, officials
agree, and improvements will
follow as funds allow and traf-
fic and other conditions may
require. All roads will be we'll
drained and graded as the first
step. Only where heavy traffic
pounds and pulverizes the
gravel to be swept off by winds and
rains almost as fast as it can be
hauled on, will roads be hard-surfaced
and then only as funds available will
allow, according to the positive state
ments from the state officials. Gravel
surfacing is meeting all requirements
on hundreds of miles of the proposed
state system, they explain, and it will
continue to be used until surplus
funds from motor vehicle licenses
will provide pavement. This COM
mon sense plan, they add, must ap-
ply equally to all roads, whether state,
county or town.
No Wholesale Paving.
Wrong ideas that upon the passage
of Amendment No. 1 the state would
begin Immediately the Wholesale paw
ing Of trunk highways are being re-
moved as rapidly as possible by
friends Of the plan. They maintain
not only that the scarcity of materials
and labor now would make such a
move almost impossible, but that
thinking men and women will refuse
to listen to such wild, absurd predic-
tions. The legislature may be de-
pended upon, they add, to authorize
only common-sense, economical plans.
Amendment No. l, it may be added
here, makes no change in types of
roads that may be built. Gravel SUR
facing, concrete, brick and all other
kinds already are authorized, and the
state will be, free to select the best
suited materials, just as the counties
and towns are doing.
Auto Savings to Pay Cost.
Additional funds necessary under
the proposed plan are to, come entire
ly from increased fees for motor We
hicle licenses. Amendment No. ! is
generally favored by automobile and
truck owners, and actively supported
by the great majority Of them, never

roads result in savings on car up
keep, tires and gasoline which will
exceed any reasonable increases in
license fees. coil companies, car
builders and tire makers will pay the
whole BILL" as one owner aptly cx-
pressed it.
A provision for road bonds is held
virtually of no effect now that the
soldiers bonus board has proved that
state bonds are not salable in the
open market. This will not seriously
interfere with the plan, however,
officials having announced some time
ago that unexpected increases in the
number Of licenses issued indicates
that money will be forthcoming as
needed, and no bonds need be sold.
$lO,OOO,OOO Year More.
Every road will be made good
road under the new plan and far
better road than is possible under the
present system, officials and friends
of the amendment assert. This will
be accomplished, they contend, with
out any increase in road taxes or
issuing bonds which otherwise will
be absolutely unavoidable.
