Statement On Big Bond
Issue Sent To Woman;s Club

over q period OF twenty years by
the setting aside by the Legislature
each year of an amount equal to
what would be spent for new con-
struction. 1t is estimated that
$850,000 each year would pay the
bond interest and set up q sinking
fund to retire the issues as they
come due, which will be in q sue
cession of years and in amount ac-
cording to the sums raised each
year of the ten during which the
construction plan will be carried

Sections IS, 10 nd 20 of the bill
provide for creating this fund and
for tile bonding of those State Off
eials lcsiiohsible for It.
There r certain state revenues

Inheritance taxes. earnings of State
Commissions and departmehts)
which pay all state expenses, except
state school tax. These revenues
have increased 40 per cent in the
last ten years and there ID every rea-
son to believe that they will continue
to increase. We may then count on
having at least 31.500, 600 each year
available for providing the fund to
retire the bonds and have a good sum
over for current repairs. The feed.
clothing, etc., of inmates of the in
situations comes under the usual
yearly appropriations.
This forward looking plan will do
for two OF the New Jersey Institu-
lions what has been accomplished in

tentiafy are paid from earnings and
