| highways, l consider that these two
classes Of roads are practically the
same division that we make ourselves.
the trunk lines being the primary
highways and the state-aid roads the
secondary highways, but as already
intimated unless we amend our eonsti-
tuition permitting the use of bond
money on state-aid roads. we will not
have any funds available to meet that
part of the federal aid forthcoming.
Ii is interesting to note, too, that the
government is. in way. laying great
err stress upon these secondary routes

therefore. absolutely imperative that

number two. in order to make US sure
of obtaining all the federal aid that
is offered.
There is another point in connec-
tion with this matter that should not
be overlooked. The mere fact of
changing our financial system, as pro-
posed, indirectly helps In another de-
partment. The adoption of this
amendment and the substitution of
bond money to take the place of that

AUTOMATICALLY taken care of by the
automobile fees. Now this extra
money that can then. be used for mSin-
tenance is sorely needed Everyone
knows that it is foolish TO build fine
roads and then fail to keep them up.
AS our mileage or roads increases and
the traffic increases, we must find more
money to provide for maintenance,
cidcntally but effectively does this.
TRUNK LINES
Now just word as TO trunk lines
The change in the government plan of
the secondary roads come In for a part
of IL, puts little different aspect upon
the amcQnt of money required for the
trunk lines. OF course. as long az the
Federal government. IL going to pass
this money back to the states to build
both classes of roads, we should not
undertake TO build this one class and
pay the whole cost ourselves.
AT the present time there are near
~ s+.oo0,00o Of the bonds now author
lied by our constitution unissuedt or
unexpended. IT In impossible to Aay
how much money will be required to
complete the trunk line. We all be-
lieve, however. that the peak OF cost
has been reached and that for the next
several years there will be a decided
reduction. owing to lower costs of ma
terial. labor and other things While
1t is impossible to give accurate esti-
mates at this time that would be re-
liable. II is my opinion that taking
part of the bond money for state-aid
work. Is not only imperative for the
reasons I have given. but will leave
ample funds to meet all money that In
likely to be offered by the Federal gov
eminent, for trunk line construction.
Tor at least the next three years, and
also leave SUFFICIENT funds for the con-
struction of all bridges using bond
money.
