The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-09-17

The adoption of the pending con-
stitutional amendment, known as
'the Babcock plan," establishes in
Minnesota State Trunk Highway
System of approximately 1000 miles
of main, or arterial roads, which
reaches into every section of the
state, the highways to be located,
= constructed, reconstructed, improved
as public highways by the state of
Minnesota"
The construction and maintenance
of the roads in this syestem is to be
done by the State of Minnesota and is
to be financed by bond issue which
is to be retired by the proceeds from
an increased tax on motor vehicles.
The amendment limits the issue of
bonds in any calendar year to $1O,-
100000 par value and provides that
there shall never be more than $751;
100000 in bonds outstanding. No
bonds are issued by the amendment,
but it simply authorizes the legis-'
lature to issue and sell the bonds of
the state within the limits just stated.
In order to finance the Trunk
Highway System, it will be necessary
to levy license fee on autom bibles
which will average $l3 per car. If
such license fee il fixed by the
legislature, bonds may be issued to
the full limit Of the constitutional
amendment and retired by the pro-
ceeds from motor vehicle taxation.
If lower rate than SIS per car is
fixed, then the legislature can limit
the bonds to be issaed to less than
$10,000,000, or in other words. to the
amount which can be financed by
such license fee as is fixed. IN NO
CASE 1T is EXPECTED THAT
BONDS WILL BE ISSUED IN
SUCH AMOUNTS AS CANNOT BE
RETIRED By MOTOR VEHICLE
TAXATION.
By the establishment of the Trunk
Highway System, all of the local
funds-the state aid, county and
township levies-are left intact to be
used by local authorities in building
local or feeder roads. These funds
based on the past two years average,
mount to the gigantic total of $1O,-
$4,000 year. This would mean
that in the ten years from 1921 to

CLUBWOMEN'S OUTING
AT WIDOWS MITE"

No spot in Anne Arundel county a
county which is filled with beautiful
spots" is more picturesque and more
ideal for picnic and outing than
Widows Mite" on South River, on
the farm of Frank Duvall. on Crabbe's
creek, adjoining the estate of wild
Rose Lodge" the property of Mrs. ],
Floyd Waggaman.
II was on this beautiful spot that
the Woman's Club of Anne Arundel
county held their annual picnic yes
terday afternoon. Some seyenty-five
TO one hundred women and children
and q few of the gentlemen friends of
the Club went on the outing.
From Annapolis a party OF thirty
to forty left the club rooms at 2.S0
in one of Stehle's busses, and the ride
to the shore was a delightful one.
Others motored in their own cars, and
ladies from the county went in boats.
buggies or motor cars from their
homes nearer the picnic grounds than
Annapolis.
The day was ideal and was thor
oughly enjoyed. Lunches were spread
under the shade trees late in the aft
ernoon, and that delicious ice cream
sold on the grounds found ready pur-
chasers Indeed, twice the quantity
could have been disposed of. Some
of the party. not afraid of catching
cold" ventured in bathing, although
most of the party thought the air too
chilly and the water too cold for a
plunge yesterday afternoon.
The absence of the president, Miss
Katherine Watkins, who was prevent
ed from attending the outing on ac-
count of death in the family, was
deeply regretted by the clubwomen,
and she was missed from the happy
gathering.
The party returned after s O'Clock
in the evening, the beautiful moon
light adding to the trip home and be-
ing fitting finish of perfect day
Too much credit cannot be given
to the Woman's Club committee on
the arrangements for the picnic,
which was composed of the follow
ing: Mrs. Abram Moss, chairman:
Mrs. r. ]. Linthicum, Mrs. Joseph
Bigelow, Mrs. Clarence NJ. White, all
of whom lent material aid in max
ing the outing a splendid success.
