Piled traffic which good roads would
bring forthwith.
No Ad VaIerem Hike
II would call for 70 increase in
the ad valorem tax, but rather, IN Ct
feet. would tend TO lower the ad va
loren. but allotting the counties this
rebate money with which % build
their lateral roads.
There are a lot or details, provi-
sions, stipulations. regulations and
safeguards that must be determined
and presented definitely in order 10
nut the program INTO effects but
they are ali incidental.
The legislature az Texas, can be
relied upon to construct and as
semble the legal machinery Of the
program so that il will operate 20
the best interest and protection Of
he people. And until ii Is put into
operation, the present system VIII
be continued in effect.
This program offers the salvation
of the Texas highway situation. Il
means the building az roads through
an counties where they are needed
not through just those that happen
to Be wealthy-and a. the same
time giving back the money the coun-
ties have spent on state roads, so
that they can improve their local
roads. Ii means building the Texas
highway system as a unified, con-
nected ~whole-not N a patchwork,
crazy quilt. And IL means building
them, not over an interminable span
Of tina but now-in the next few
years, when the hour Of Texas des-
tiny Is striking; when good roads
arc the deciding factor in the future
OF the state.

The table below reveals in an
Illuminating manner how a 30-year
bond issue Of $500, 000, 900 might be
handled. contemplating installments

100000 each year thereafter through
1870.

tear, so that their actual value will
be only 81. 100000. The county will
receive back not the fui! 81 ,000, 1000 u
contributed, but that amount minus
the onertenth depreciation, or $780,
900.
The plan Is to make those REIN
bursements in yearly .Estalements %
all counties that have spent money!
the counties to use tho funds for inn
proving their lateral roads.
According to the best information
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-05-10

r hsve been able to rracure. through
a compilation Of an available records,
the counties Of Texas have con-
tributed less than $50. 100000 on state
highways since the time the state
highway department hegaE its pres
ent system of financing.
BY thus rebating ne counties BY
degrees over a period ~ years, the
state would have enough Of the
money left TO carry On j program a.
great as IL can efficiently handle.
Road Materials Important
SPEED, under present conditions,
would be limited by the amount Of
road materials available III the state.
II would not be wise 10 create such a
demand for those materials all al
once that they would become scarce
and higher priced. As long rs we
90 not place a premium upon ma
t~erlals, the competition which the
work will attract will insure the low
est possible costs.
The highway department could ef-
tieiently and economically spend be-
tween $4usO00,0O and S50,0OO,0 900 a
year on state read building 20 begin
"AAhs bSsl4es the necessary IeEllAr
amount for highway maintenance,
and that received as federal aid.
Maintenance financing, under this
program, should continue TO come
from registration and weight fees on
motors, as IL does now.
IL is TO. be considered that as the
mileage ratio Of hard-surfaeed roads
is increased, the cost O. maintaining
the state system of highways is de-
creased by inverse ratio. In other
words, while a gravel read requires
expensive maintenance - virtually
amounting to frequent rebuilding
the road requires very little mainten-
ance after 1t is paved.

HIGHWAY Head
FAVORS State
BOND MEASURE
$500, Issue Is
Proposed to Give
Poor Counties Even
Break With All
By n. g. Sterling
Chairman, State Highway

%0NdAN8aOAl
More than n years service as
Chairman of the state highway com
mission has convinced me finally
that the solution of the Texas road
building program is a statewide bond
issue.
In fact, ! have been Of this opin-
Ion for a long time, and was the
tirst to advance the idea that shall
suggest. as n remedy for the ills OF
the present Texas highway system.
l have, however. withheld outright
public espousal Of the plan, until /
could test my views by a thorough
first-hand study of the situation.
My proposal IS to vote a state
wide bond issue Of from $500 ,000,-
goo to $3.50, .00o. to be retired over
a period of years with revenues
from the gasoline tax; to use as
much Of the money PER yaar on high
way improvements as car BE spent
efficiently and economically; and TO
reimburse all counties for money
they have spent on state roads, so
that they can use it to build lateral
roads. The bond issue would finance
a program which would pat all the
more important highways in good
condition in five or six years, and
continue the process Of perfection
with the utmost possible speed.
With present resources and meth
DDS, IL would take 30 or 40 years to
say nothing Of the hundreds Of
miles of others that are becoming
more and more urgently needed as
the state grows.
Under the present system, the
highway commission must distribute
| its aid only to counties that offer
their part OF the financing. This
makes IL impossible TO close the
gaps an link up wen NIL Of the most
important routes, for some Ct the
counties can not or will not vote
bonds for their share.
Poor Counties Suffer
This system is unfair 90 the poor
er counties--those that cannot af-
ford the necessary bond issues: and
II permits the richer counties 10 get
more than their just share Of state
and federal aid. Likewise IL takes
from the counties money for state
highways which rigidly should 70 to-
ward building their local and lateral
county roads. Some counties, in their
laudable zeal for good highways, have
voted bond issues which they will
find it difficult to meet, unless they
are given such relief rs my plan
contemplates.
Coming generations viii reap the
same benefits from the highways
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-05-10

that We will enjoy; even more, for
we are in the painful throes OF
metamorphosis, suffering all the
hardshlps and inconvenience OF un-
finished building.
The tremendous advantages Of hav-
ing good roads as quickly as pos
sible will soon pay for them. Lack
Of good roads has been the great
est deterrent 20 settlement in Texas
during the past decade. and a par
ticulAr drawback to our farmers in
marketing their products. But for
that handicap, Texas might now be
enjoying the same phenomenal
growth which good roads made pos
sible in California. Smooth, connect
ed highways will bring homeseekers,
settlers. industry and trade swarm
ing TO Texas. Those incoming forces
will not only contribute a large share
Of the taxes to pay for the high
ways, but will bring wealth that will
soon more than pay for them.
Amendment Necessary
A constitutional amendment will
he necessary before the statewide
bond issue can be effected. Such an
amendment l believe will carry
overwhelmingly, when the people I'M
derstand what il means.
Here is the program | propose:
Vote a bond issue Of $500, 000, 900
% S250,000,00 on the express condi-
tion that the state will refund the
counties for money they already have
spent on state highways since the
beginning of the state highway de-
%partment; not the exact amount
spent, but an amount proportionate
70 the appraised value Of the roads
at the time the program goes into
operation.
For instance, say a county has con-
tributed 81. 1000. 600 toward building
$4,000. 600 worth of state roads in
that county. When .he appraisal rs
made those roads will be, say. five
years old, and will have deprecated
in value through natural wear and
