TT WILL PAY WELL TO DEFER ACTION.

TUNTERE is a steadily growing feeling throughout our

with regard 10 improved highways. =
Both the taxpayers and the State Highway Commission
have much they reasonably be expected 10
OF during the next two years and nothing more

highways Stateaid county highways.
The recent frosis which practically destroyed the

why the Legislature should refrain from further

until August OF next year do that Therefore that will
be about all they get done before the session OF
the legislature meets-and any additional money bor-
rowed cannot be used.
An additional why neither the State nor any
Of the counties should contemplate borrowing unneces
sary money at this time the future that the
bond market is very low and II efforts be made TO

ably win not sell for than 50 cents on the dollar.
