rroximately SS,000.000 for road CON
struction and maintenance.
May Lose Federal Aid.
The federal government, Mr..
Wheeler said. has spent money on the
roads of the state merely on the prom
Use of the state that they would be
maintained. The state, which docs not
have the authority to maintain them,
can only take the word of the coun-
ties through which the highways run
that they will be maintained. Many
of the counties have not done this
and are not able to, Mr.. Wheeler said.
with the result that some of the roads
on which the government has spent
money are being neglected. Arkansas.
he said, has Just lost federal aid for
the reason that there was no concerted
effort to maintain the roads and Tex
as faces the same possibility. This,
he said. is throwing away the S32,-
100000 already appropriated and the
many millions more that will come in
the future.
The conference was presided over
by George Holmgreen. chairman of the
highway department of the chamber.
Among those who spoke were Judge
Augustus McClosky. Aaron Pancoast,
l.. ID. Lewis. Fred Hightor, II. A.
Pratt of Parsons, Kan. and ]. b.
Randolph of Junction City.
A state convention of the associa'
ton will be held in Dallas next Fri
day and Saturday when the statewide
campaign TO awaken the people of
Texas TO the necessity Of the amend
ment will be launched. Mr.. Holm
green said that a delegation from here
would attend. and would take an
active part in the campaign.

MAINTENANCE
OF HIGH WAYS
BIC PROBLEM
San Antonians Hear Pro-
posed Constitution al
Amendment Explained.
MONEY Is AVAILABLE
Amendment Would Author
lie Use of Funds From
Car and Gas Taxes.

The highway amendment to the
Texas Constitution which VIII be sub
mitted TO a vote of the people July
y. and which gives the state the
right to build and maintain designated
highways. was explained to aprOXi-
mately 80 prominent men of San An
tcnio and Southwest Texas by W. Il.
Wheeler of Fort Worth. manager of
the Texas Highway Association, at
the good roads conference in the
Chamber of Commerce Monday morn
ing.
Highways and the amendment Civ
ing the state the right TO build and
maintain them. it was said, presents
one Of the biggest propositions before
Texans today. The present laws.
which rest the entire responsibility of
building and maintaining roads with
the county commissioners. Mr.. Wheel
err said, have resulted in discon-
nected system of roads that neither de-
velope the rural sections of the state
nor afford satisfactory Translate
travel. In addition, he said, the sys-
TEN now threatens the loss Of S32,-
100000 already appropriated by the
federal government for road construc-
ton in Texas.
An amendment to the State Consti-
tuition. Mr.. Wheeler said. is absolute
ly necessary. 1t will not only make il
possible to connect up the scattered
stretches of good roads, but will also
bring a direct relief TO TAXPAYERS.
Has Funds But No Authority.
The state has funds. made available
by the new automobile and gasoline
tax laws passed by the Thirty-eighth
Legislature. with which to build and
maintain designated highways. put
does not have the authority to use the
money. according to Mr. Wheeler. An
amendment to the constitution giving
this authority will take the RESPONSE
bility Of building and maintaining
roads out of the hands of the county
commissioners. leaving the entire sum
raised in the county for the develop
ment of cross roads and roads to the
rural settlements.
Previous to the passage of the new
automobile and gasoline taxes. Mr..
Wheeler said. Texas stood thirty-ninth
in the Union in revenue from the
automobile industries. II now stands
fourteenth. he said. and should he
first in comaarison to the size Of the
state and the road mileage that must
be built and maintained. In other
words. automobile owners and those
interested in the automobile trades.
who have benefited most from good
roads, have never before stood their
proper share of the road burden. he
said. Under the new laws this has
been SO equalized that the counties
will still receive its share of the auto
mobile tax for the DEVELOPMENT Of
county roads not on the designated
highways, and in addition the state
