V / ' them in less than 40 years, maintain the highway, in firts class condition, and leave an unappropriated balaftv in the hands of the state highway commission of two million dollars. As" the increase in the number of automobiles in the state and the con sumption of gasoline continues, the annual surplus will increase. Thus the plan of financing the building of highways in North Carolina has far surpassed the hopes of even its most ardent advocates. The $7,750,000.00 highway revenue lias' been divided into appropriations of$25Q, 000.00 for sinking fund to retire the bonds, $2,250,000.00 for interest on the bonds $3,000,000.00 for maintenance, and loaVittg'-a stfrfdtts in the treasury of the road funds of! $2,000,000.00.
