II you are one Of the 80 mil

store boats during non-use per-
iodS on trailers, you should
realize that there Is more to
mooring q boat in your back

The ideal way to store any
boat, from the standpoint of
providing best support for the
hull, Is in the water. The ad-
vantage, however, Of water

cost Of securing q boat to a

Darden Urges
SavingbyState
In Borrowing
Direct Virginia
Action Would
Drop Interest Cost

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Feb. IL tAP).-Former Gov.
Colgate w. Darden, jr., esti-
mated today at least $l44.7
million in interest on revenue
bonds for construction could
have been saved by Virginia's
four highway authorities If the
State had borrowed the money
directly.
Mr.. Darden, writing in the
University Of Virginia news
letter, said the State by bor-
rowing directly also could have
gotten money for some State
college construction at two
thirds the rate paid by the COL
leges themselves.
He said this meant the State
could have saved SO million in
interest at the colleges.
The highway authorities Mr..
Darden mentioned were the
highway department Set-up fl
nancing the Hampton Roads
tunnel. the James River bridge
system, the Yorktown bridge
and the Rappahannock bridge;
the Richmond-P tersburg
Turnpike Authority: the Eliza
beth River Tunnel District; and
the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and
Tunney District.
Higher Interest Charges
Mr.. Darden, who headed the
University of Virginia after his
tenure as Governor, said high
way authorities and State in
stitutions of higher learning
must pay higher interest
charges on revenue bonds they
issue than would be the case if
the Commonwealth had consti-
tutional authority to issue
bonds directly and take advan-
tage of it's high credit rating.
Virginia's Constitution pro-
hibits the State from issuing
bonds for public improvement
projects backed by the security
of the State. There is one ex-
ception.
This permits the bonding of
the State for specific public i'm
provement projects, provided
the bonds do not exceed per
cent of assessed value of all
taxable real estate and be ap-
proved in a referendum.
Amendment Urged
Mr.. Darden said the boards
of the road authorities and COL
leges are at a needless dis
advantage. and urged an
amendment to the State Con-
SUitutl0n.
He said the provision is
needed which would enable the
State, where sufficient security
is available in the way of dormi-
tory rents, students fees, or
tolls, to move directly into the
money market and secure the
funds required on the best pos
sible terms. !"
This, he said, would enable
us to save very large sums of
money"
He said, "It is an illusion TO
believe we have anything to
gain by financing State con-
struction indirectly through
political authorities or agencies
of the State government.
