K \ 30-MILLION ROAD ISSUE IS LIKELY Asheville Citizen. Raleigh, N. 0., Dee. 13.?Thirty million dollars is now being advanced as the figure upon which the General Assembly will most likely agree when it comes to authorize farther bonds l'or the building of highways. That is ten mliliions below the amount heretofore widely advocated over the state and ten millions above some of the leaders in administration circles. The size of the next bond issue is more completely loaded with possibi lities of developing a first rate fight on the floor of the Legislature than any other legislative question that has so far been advanced. It is not believed by experienced political ob servers that an attack on the budget recommendations of tthe Governor and his Budget Advisory commission will get very far. Those recommend ations will look to the appropriation of all State, revenue in prospcct for the next two years and it will be dif ficult to get beyond that. Besides a lot ol' people feel that the institutions and departments arc getting enough under existing circumstanccs, and that feeling will be strongly reflected in the next session. But it will be a different feeling with regard to road bonds, unless those who have observed development of the last two years are mistaken About half of the counties of the state will want a bowl issue of suffi cient size to guarantee the payme it of loans advanced of the State sin,cc the' last Legislature and the other half will want a bond issue large enough to assure them onj road con struction that will put them 011 a par ity with the counties which, by ad vancing money to the State, have enjoyed big construction programs. Amount of Advances The amount ot' advances to the State runs between $15,000,000 and $2,000,000, it is said. Forty or fifty counties have issued county bonds to make the loans. The interest on those bonds is being paid from county tax es. County taxes are levied against projierty. By transferring those local bonds from the counties to the State, the interest changes will be taken off the local property tax aiijiK put upon the State's special highway fund, de rived from automobile licenses and gasoline. Nobody believes that'' representa tives from those counties will be sat isfied with a bond issue of any am ount below that which will make It possible for the State to take over those loans in accordance with the j understanding at the time they wfrft| made. ! \N'or are the countics which did not| make advances expected to agree to; a bond issue that, after the repay-1 i ipcnt of otlier counties will, leave j ! nothing for the State highways in | which they arc mainly'interested. | Those now talking a thirty million j dollar bond issue have figui'ed it out lj that it will be sufficient to take care of the loans and provide for the con tinuaiijCe of the construction program in the counties which have not made loans. But if it is found that it will take forty million, it will be a mighty j task to prevent the Legislature from authorizing that amount. Neither Governor McLean nor Chairman Frank Page of the State Highway commission has indicated j what size bond issue he will faver. The Governor said recently that he probably would not make his pref erence known until after the Legis lature has convened. It is altogether probable that the recommendations of the Governor and Chairman) Page will be in accord. It has been suggested that there may be a proposal made for the State to take over a portion of the county loans with the proceeds from the bonds authorized by the coming Leg islature with the understanding that _ the remainder would be taken) care ! ?i of in the 1929 session.. Such a com promise would make possible the hold down of the amount of the issue. Highway Program. Further involving the highway pro gram for the next two years will be a movement on the part of represen tatives from the northeastern) sec tion of the state to make two dis tricts of the territory now included in the first highway district. The district now has 20 counties! one-fifth of all the counties in the j State. Many of the people there feel that they have not received their share of the highway mileage. They want more hard surfaced roads, and, necessarily, more money with which to build them. Their program, if they succeed in finding favor for it! fi in the Legislature, may affect the size of the new bond issue. The Highway commission's, plan of accepting loans from the counties for! building State highways within) those counties came into operation aft a* the last General Assembly had agreed \. /' j i i i to a $20,000,000 bond issue to finance cnostruction work for the ensuing two years. A movement in that ses sion to authorize a $35,000,000 issue was abandoned at the request of the Governor and after Chairma^ Frank Page had made a statement to tha effect that a $20,000,000 issue would provide with other money on hand, } the finances for all the construction work the commission could do in two years. But by resorting to the county loans, the program originally sched uled n.iB been greatly expanded.
