8. 1t Is conceded by all people
throughout the State and Nation that
we are building one of the finest
systems of highways In the United
S ate. The Chief of the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads and Engi-
neers arid Citizens throughout the
and have been lavish in their praise
of the fine system of up-to-date high
ways we are building for Mississippi.
A. It is a self-evident fact also that
we are building our highways at the
most economical figures ever known
under a big construction program,
and this wi HUT adding to the tax
burden of the people of the State.
In other words, of the Ninety-Two
Millions of Dollars which have been
spent and VIII be spent under the
last two road building programs, MOI
one penny of increased taxes has
been felt by the people of the State.
All of this money has been spent
without one whisper of graft or cor
rup.ion on the part of those in
charge of the work.
5 Our goal is to pave the First
and Second Groups and to give to
every community an all-weaaher road.
TIE last legislature voted addi-
tional money and entrusted 1T to our
Administration, laying down the rules
and yandsticks by which the money
was to be spent on the various roads
Throughout the District and State
1t stands to reason that he next
legislature will have confidence in
us if we continue to discharge our
du es as prescribed by law and as
demonstrated in the past. The next
big development in road construc-
ton will be on farm-to-market feed
er rofls and we point to definite
progress now being made with our
cooperation on such roads.
VIE believe the State is on the
threshold of great development Our
in proved llighv tlys will mean much
to the States progress. Thousands
