groups are going to advocate the
use of the highway surplus to help
the schools instead Of the sales
tax. Others will want it divided
up among the counties or allotted
to the cities for street paving
work. But those who want it
saved for highway work only
point out that there would be no
surplus now at all if the amount
really needed for maintenance
last year and this coming year
had been appropriated by the
1888 general assembly. For the
highway commission is being linz
tied to not more than S6,OOO,OOO
a year for the maintenance of al!
the state and county highways,
totalling some $1,000 miles Of
roads while a few years ago the
state and counties together were
spending more than 100000
a year on maintenance. 1t is con
tended that the state should be
spending not less than $4,000
600 year on maintenance, or
double the amount it is now be-
ing permitted to spend.
Congress is evidently already
awake to the densnr of highway
fund diversion, or it would no.
have written into the present bill
the provision that will prevent
any state that permits diversion
of its highway revenue to other
purposes to get any federal AID.
This section of the proposed law
is as follows: @
"Since it is unfair and unjust
to tax motor vehicle transporta-
ton unless the proceeds of such
taxation are applied to the con-
struction, Improvement or NAM
tenance of highways, after June
80, 1888, federal aid for high
wav construction shall be extend
ed only to those states that use
at least the amounts now provid-
ed by law for such purposes IN
each state from motor vehicle
registration fees, gasoline taxes
and so forth.

:, Sic Wpitar it.tel

RALEIGH, June l2..;-: North
Carolina cannot expect to get any
more federal money for highway
construction after this coming fis-
cal wear, without matching it with
an equivalent amount of state
funds, if the bill now pending IN
congress is enacted, Chairman E.
B. Jeffress Of the state highway
and public works commission said
today. This bill also provides that
no state shall get any federal aid
that permits the diversion of amy
of the revenue obtained from the
state tax on gasoline and auto
mobiles to other than highway
purposes. SO unless the next gen
eral assembly sees to it that 'di-
version of highway revenue to
other than highway purposes is
stopped, North Carolina may not
be able to get any more federal
funds for road building at all. At
the present time, the state is @di-
verting $1,000,000 year from
the highway fund to the. general
fund. to be used for general state
purposes" 'E "'.'' =" ''' &"''t' -
Under the measure now: pend
ing in congress and which will
probably be enacted, 100000, 900
will be appropriated to continue
the emergency highway construc-
ton program for the fiscal year
beginning: July /, 1884, and this
amount will not have to be
matched with state funds. This
would provide approximately S4,-
100000 of federal funds to be
used here in North Carolina this
coming year.
The bill further provides that
for the fiscal years Of 1896 and
1887 the total appropriation for
highway construction shall be
S125,0O0,000 a year, but that TINS
money must be matched by the
various states from state funds
Under this plan, North Carolina
will be able to get about $2,SOO,-
600 a wear of federal funds pro-
vided it will match it with state
funds and thus make a total OF
almost S6,0O0,000 year available
for new construction. But unless
the state matches this money, It
will not be able to get any OF IT.
Chairman Jeffress and others
interested not only in preserving
the states present highway sys-
tenn but in improving and expand
ing it. mainsain that the proVl-
sions of this measure now before
congress haka it more ''nportant
than ever before for North Caro-
lima to cease any further diver
sion of its highway funds, but to
retain whatever surplus IS accru-
inc in the highway fund to be
used later on to match federal
funds. They maintain that since
every dollar that goes into the
highway fund is paid by the 96O.-
600 automobile and truck owners
in the state, and that since these
100000 motorists are paying IN
more than all the other state tax
payers put together for other
purposes, that this revenue should
be used for the roads and nothing
else.
1t is generally conceded, Of
course, that one of the biggest
fights in the 1885 general assem-
bly will center around the high
way surplus and the question of
highway fund diversion. Some

PAIR OF ROYAL CARRIERS
ASKED BY LADY HOUSTON
Wealthy Philanthropist Suggests
She Be Given Two HonorS
by British King.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 20.-Lady Houston,
England'S Lady Bountiful," wants a
new pair OF garterS-the ceremonial
kind the British government gives
famous men.
Writing in her magazine, the Sat-
urday Review, today she said:
The deaths of the Duke Of We'll
lington and the Duke of Marlborough
have created an unexpected problem
for filing two vacancies that have
arisen in the Order of the Garter.
las one would be of no use to me,
modestly suggest that I be given
them both"
Lady Houston became England's
wealthiest woman when she inherited
the S35, 900 900 estate of her late hus-
band, Sir Robert Houston, the ship
ping magnate. several years ago. Her
charitable gifts earned her the title of
Lady Bountiful."
The first airplane fight over Mount
Everest was financed by her.
