Ten Million Bond Issue
of 1919 Will Be Ex-
hausted This Year
Last Legislatures
Failure to Authorize
New Issue M a k e s
Doubtful Available
Funds in 1925

State highway construction during
the year 1925 looks like a dubious
proposition.
In the first place, with the passage
OF an order by the Governor and
Council Tuesday authorizing the
treasurer OF State to Issue and sell
to the highest bidder Maine serial
coupon bonds in the aggregate prin-
cipal amount OF $l.000.000, the high
way bond issue of 100000 author
lied by the constitutional amend
ment OF 1919 was completed, so that
no more highway bonds can be is
sued without another constitutional
provision.
Then comes the question OF the at
titude of the next Legislature toward
state highway bonds. Unless the
next Legislature assumes different
attitude towards this matter from
the Slst Legislature, State highway
construction next year will be a
minus quantity. 1t will be remem-
bered that the last Legislature turn
ed down the bill providing for a
constitutional amendment vote on a
SG.OOO.00O issue Of State highway
bonds.
Tho question arises whether If the
next Legislature should pass an act
providing for Il vote on constitu-
tional amendment for a new highway
bond Issue, the proposition could be
brought before the voters of the
state before September, following
the adjournment OF the Legislature
1t was stated yesterday by a lawyer
that according to his understanding
of the law. the question could not be
voted on by the people until Septem-
Der. This. Of course. would absolute

Funds for the building of state
highways this year will be provided
by the sale of the bonds authorized
.eby the Governor anti-Council yester.
day. These will be four percent
bonds. payable semi annually. The
maturity OF these bonds has not been
determined. but must be within Al
