$400,000,000 Worth of Pub- lic Improvements Now Facing a Late Start. QS tmemen 3o, o pan are - out the country in accordance with the will of voters expressed in the recent election. msmmmmmmn energy is displayed projects will not be under way for Legal hindrances are in some occa- slons unavoidable, but communities in most cases have no plausible reason for delaying construction. Among the mu- nicipalities that are making a special effort to speed up construction is Chi- cago. In that city bond issues were approved for $23,672,000 with which streets are to be widened, bridges built, filled-in land extended and other need- ed facilities built. But even in Chicago, n is likely that the bond issue money will not become available until the mid- dle of January. However work can start coincidental with the coming of good Sj ‘weather. om.: g among the bond issues voud are those of New Jersey ‘100 000,000, of which $83,000,000 to be devoted to highway construc- , and the $82,000,000 issues of isiana for nighway, airport, capitol | and other construction. Cleveland is | ing to buy herself $31500,000 worth street, sewer and river betterments. But these large issues are of no more fmportance to these populous commun- fties than are the numerous small bond issues to small communities. The need for employment is acute and all com- munities, regardless of size and regard- less_of the proportions of their bond issues, can help '.hemulvel a great deal pushing construs ‘Time is l'!qull'ed o pl’lnt bonds and gell them. Time is required to map out plans for construction work. The two activities should proceed simultane- ously. That this can be done is shown in Louisiana where already preparations are under way to issue the first in- stallment of $15,000,000 of highway | bonds.
