PROFIT BY GOV. EXPENDITURES
ON NATIONAL FORESTS.

In the State of Minnesota, Federal
expenditures in connection with the
national forests have averaged, over
a five-year period, $130,193 year or
over times the annual receipts to the
Government of $30,972 according to a
study recently completed by the Forest
Service. OF this total expenditure,
$99, ,432 is made up of items which come
directly to the counties where the ma
tional forests are located in the form
of road and trail construction; in
direct benefits in the form of free for
age, of free timber and in cooperation
in fish and game protection; and cash
returns in the amount of $3.50 of gross
receipts for roads and schools. The an
nual $3.50 cash return of $7,743 now
amounts to only about LII of the
present total returns from these prop
critics because of only partial utiliza-
ton of the resources of the national
forests On the basis of complete per-
manent utilization, toward which the
Forest Service is working, this return,
when the forests become fully produc-
tive, will amount alone to $50 500 based
on present prices, and will increase

MORE NEW CARS IN
1928 THAN IN 1927
ROAD BUILDING NOT KEEPING
PACE WITH TRAFFIC GROWTH
SAYS HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS
BABCOCK.

Registration of motor vehicles in
Minnesota up to December was 22,-
1872 greater than at the same date in
1927. Registration in 1927 was 16,761
greater than in 1926. The increase in
1928, therefore, is 6,021 greater than
the increase in 1927 Apparently the
so-called "saturation point" has not
been reached.
The increase in registration and the
still greater increase in the traffic bur-
den, are pointed out by G. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways, as one of
the reasons why he recommends the
bond method of financing highway i'm
provementS. IF traffic had reached a
point of stabilization," he says, ''it
would be possible in time to improve
the system with current revenues. But
with the large increase in traffic each
year, the highways ar less adequate to
the traffic at the end of the year than
at the beginning, in spite of the work
done
This year we have paved 113 miles,
built 272 miles up to standard grade,
and gravel surfaced 298 miles If the
gas tax were increased to make up for
| the third which goes into the state
aid fund, so we would have the same
| income now, and traffic were stable,
we could eventually complete the sys-
tenn. 1t would be great many years
before we could complete the paving,
but we would be making some progress
| each year.
"As it is, we have paved about 220
| miles in the last two years, but in the
meantime traffic has grown so that
the mileage of unpaved road carrying
more traffic than gravel road can
| carry, has increased instead of de-
| creased. The new cars and trucks
| start their wear on the highways i'm
mediately, but it takes about two years
before the revenue they bring can be
transformed into finished road. Then
when license and gas tax revenues
are decreased, it becomes still more
difficult to keep up with traffic re-
| QuirementS.
| Whatever gas tax and license rats
are fixed, am convinced that we can
| get more roads for the same money by
the bond method than by the pay-as-
you-go method. If the gas tax is in
creased just enough to make up for
the diversion, and no bonds issued, we
will be unable to pave much more
than 200 miles in the next two years,
/ and the increased traffic will force q
| further increase in our maintenance
| bill. But if bonds are issued, we hope
to pave 1000 miles in two years, and
by paving where maintenance costs
| are highest, we should be able to re-
duce our maintenance bill at least ST.
100000 a year. In fifteen years this
| would amount to $15,0O0,000, while the
interest on the bonds, if issued for Is
years on the sinking fund plan, would
be only $6,140,000. That is a saving
of $8,860,000, which would go into fur
ther Improvements.
THAT looks like good business, con-
sidering it merely from the standpoint
of highway funds. But the benefits
to highway users would be far greater
than the saving in highway funds"
