GREATER TOURIST
HIGHWAY PLANNED
will Be First of Through Routes
to Be Constructed in
Virginia.

RICHMOND. Va. May 21.-The
State Highway Department is plan
ming to build a modern highway from
Bristol to Lynchburg. as the first Of
the through routes to be constructed
in the State as soon as sufficient
funds are available, 1t is stated un-
officially by william F. Cooke. as
sistant State highway commissioner.
The road from Bristol to Lynch
burg is impossible in three places
during wet weather, Mr.. Cooke stated.
While there is agitation for a con-
crete road along the capitol High
perhaps heavier than on any other
route In the State. yet there is no
time OF the year when II is impos-
sible to get from Alexandria to the
North Carolina line. he declared.
On the contrary. there is consider
able tourist traffic from the west
which goes through Bristol and turns
south OF Lynchburg. 1--WE believe II
better to build a passable road first
for that traffic" he said.
The Capitol Highway is the main
artery OF travel from the north.
through Washington, d. c.. to Florida
and other points in the southeastern
part of the country. This highway
runs through Alexandria, Fredericks-
burg. Richmond. Petersburg. Din
widdie, South Hill. Boydton and
Clarksville.
This road. from Dinwiddie to South
impassabe. Mr.. Cooke called atten-
tion to the fact that the State main
tsins the road which turns OFF near
Dinwiddie and runs through Law
renceville, but that garage keepers
and the American Automobile Asso-
citation have been routing tourists
over a country road which is very
rough in spots.
The Highway Department is now
ready to call for bids on the Louisa
Charlottesville Pike. Louisa county
recently voted 5000, 900 in bonds TO
loan the state for construction OF the
road from Louisa to the Albermarle
county line.
Although this was contested by
lawyer, the Supreme Court OF Appeals
has ruled the action ot the legislature
in passing this law valid Under the
same decision, money was made avail
able for the construction OF five miles
OF road from Sebrcll to the Sussex
county line. in Southampton county.
on the Petersburg Norfolk road. by
way of Courtland. Bids are ready to
be advertised for on both these sec
tions OF road as soon as the counties
have sold the bonds.
The Highway Department announced
that bids have been received and
awards are pending on the following
fiye sections OF road:
Williamsburg, James City county.
two and one-half miles on either end
OF the city.
Jonesville, Lee county, fve miles
west
Wytheville. wythe county. nine
miles west OF the Smyth county line.

miles to Bremo on Route ..

east to the Fairfax county line, on

ton. but which will take over four
years to complete.

TAXES WILL
NOT PROVIDE
A SURPLUS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3-Taxes Will
not be levied sufficiently to provide
treasury surplus. Chairman Fordney or
the house ways and means committee
declared today.
I would refer that there should os
a treasury deficit during the present
fiscal year" said Fordney. This
would prevent demands for more funds
from the departments and hold congress
down with appropriations. The de-
felt could be met by temporary loans
and could DO taken care OF next year
out of the receipts
This attitude OF members Of the ways
and means committee spells rejection
Of the tax program submitted ~ Sec
rotary Mellon which seeks revenues to
meet his estimate of treasury demands
for the present fiscal year Of s4675,-
100000. He suggested new taxes OF
SO on automobiles. two cents on bank
checks. increase from TO cents on
first class postage and increase in tax.
es on tobacco, cigars and cigarettes.
The suggested bank check tax and
increased postage has aroused immed-
tate antagonism IN the house. Chair
man Fordney said he did not think
there was any probability Of levying
the taxes suggested by Secretary Mel
lon unless Il was the automobile tax
If this tax is decided on by the COM
mittee It will be a graduated tax on
horse power.
