mont can build ZOO miles OF cement
roads in II to Is years without bond
ing, without tax or other than the gas
oline tax and at gross cost 10 the
people q Vermont Of 10 10 rs million
dollars less than 90 achieve the same
result BY bonding the State.
This proposed gasoline tax means
an extra expense OF from s. 70 SIS
each year for the average Vermont
motor car owner and much more than
that for some, but the auto owners Of
Vermont include most Of the public
spirited citizens Of the State and
should expect 10 see them shoulder
load more readily than any other class
in the State, especially II they know
that every dollar is going into building

vantage is that II can be stopped II

In times Of optimism and enthusi-

states, cities and other municipalities
have gone more deeply into debt than
good judgment warranted. 1t would
have been wiser to have spent more Of

1t. GON. FRANK "a hONe lths III Tiee
Press His Ideas of Trunk Line
Roads of Cement. Pay-as- You-Go
His Motto.
Bennington, Jan. 15.-One of the
easiest" and most cheerful jobs in
| life is to tell the world that Vermont
ought to have the best roads in the
country, hard-surface roads, dustless
roads, wide roads, well graded roads,
and all other virtues in roads that i'm
agination can contemplate and which
an expenditure Of $4,000 per mile
might provide.
1t is very nearly certain, too, that
Vermonters are pretty well agreed as
to what they would like in the matter
Of road construction. We read occa-
sionally Of advocates Of gravel roads,
partisans Of cement roads, supporters
Of dirt roads, etc, but there is no real
difference and certainly no dividing
line. All are for the best roads OBJ
tainable-cement roads where no other
material will stand the traffic, gravel
roads as next best, and well drained
dirt roads for those thoroughfares
where il is impossible TO provide any
thing better.
The only real difference Of opinion is
how best to go TO work to get what all
want, whether by bonding the State or
by paying for what we have as we go
along. II is my opinion that bonding
the State would be the most extrava-
giant and wasteful method the State
could adopt, and that Vermont can Sc
cure the very best modern, improved
system Of highways more quickly and
for half the money by paying as II
proceeds rather than by bonding the
State.
As To Trunk Lines
II is probably rather generally
agreed that any acceptable system of
hard surface roads would include one
trunk lire Up each side of the State.
