HOlbeim Writes About
Proposed Bond Issue

The Independent has received the
following letter from Will f. Holbein,
secretary of the North Dakota Good
Roads Association, commenting on a
recent editorial in the Independent.
The editorial was merely a suggestion
and we invited our readers to COM
ment on it, We are very glad to give
Mr.. Holbein's letter publicity. Mr..
Holbein's arguments appear very rea-
sonable:
81 have read with great interest
your editorial in last weeks Indepen-
dent regarding the proposed state
wide highway system that the North
Dakota State Good Roads association
is proposing. note that you are in
doubt concerning the bond issue part
of our program. .
"The Whitman Bill that was intro
duced in the late session Of the legis-
lature first provided for bond issue
of $4,000, 100000. Later we succeed
ed in having Senator Whitman reduce
this to $5,00O,O00. This latter amount
was to be used to refund to all coun-
ties participating in state and federal
aid from January |, 1918, up to the
date of the passage of the amendment,
so that all counties in the state would
start out on an even basis. The re-
fund was to be used however, by the
counties in the construction Of coun-
ty systems of highways under the jur-
| isdiction of the State Highway Com
mission. 1t would not be necessary
for the refunding bonds if the coun-
ties would be willing to wait several
years and have the money come back
to them in yearly payments, but it was
| thought best to refund all the money
at once in order to stimulate county
systems Of highways, and bring about
better roads right away.
eve have no way of knowing just
how this mater will be handled by
| the amendment that the North Dakota
State Good Roads Association will I'M
tiate in June, 1922. for our legislative
| committee has not as yet secured all
the data that they need. We want to
improve our amendment over the Bah
cock Amendment in Minnesota, or the
| amendments Of other states that pro-
vide for statewide systems of state
and federal highways, and therefore,
our committee is not hurrying matters,
as it wants to be dead sure every
thing is all right. But it is presumed
that some provision will be made look
ing to an early refunding to the coun-
ties as stated, for this seems to be the
best thing to do. You may rest as
sured that when the amendment is
ready for inspection that it will be the
last word in highway legislation"
