Minnesota's Road Program

Trunk highway revenues In Minnesota will finance
81, 100000 Of road bonds according to State Highway
Commissioner Babcock and the prospects are bright that
the legislature Of that state will authorize such an issue
to speed up the highway program.
North Dakota can well look to the experience of other
states in the financing Of its permanent roads. Bond
ing for highway purposes makes available at once the
money to build permanently, and in supplanting the
dusty, expensive gravel road for hard surface roads on
heavy duty highways, maintenance costs are reduced
and real economies are effected In the long run.
The following statement by Commissioner Babcock is
significant:
1--WE could handle interest payments and sink
ing fund requirements on such an amount with
out any trouble or even on $l00,000,QO0
With a rapid development Of our paving pro-
gram, maintenance would 60 down, leaving us
plenty of money to retire a large bond issue.
Since 1921 we have had to use more than $780,
100000 Of our funds on maintenance, and the
growth Of traffic has been so fast that this
charge has not decreased, in spite of the in
creased mileage of paving.
Illinois has issued $780, 900 900 for highway
construction and is handling the bonds out of
motor vehicle licenses, although the revenue
from that source is no larger than ours. Illinois
is not maintaining any unpaved roads out of
state funds. The state does not take a road over
until it is paved. We have had to keep our 1000
mile system at the same time we were building
it, and building much of it out of nothing"
Members Of the North Dakota legislature should give
careful study to the highway program. Now is the time
to formulate policies which will yield sufficient income
to meet the heavy demands for more roads, both gravel
and hard surfaced.
North Dakota has found that an %al-gravel system
of state highways is an expensive one to maintain.
This state needs to begin as soon as possible a system
of hard surface roads for the great arterial highways
which must stand most of the traffic.
Financing of such a bond issue can be done in several
of many ways. There is plenty of good talent in the
state highway department to work out a feasible plan
If only given the necessary funds to work with. Boost
ing vehicle and gasoline taxes to continue present meth
DDS will not better conditions. Those in control of the
highway program know this and the experience of other
states in the matter of highway finance is surely at
the service of this state for the asking.
