We are faced with| a restriction in the #mount of high- way ‘which it is possible to complete because of the increased cost of ma- terials; the increased cost and Iack of labor; the difficulty in eecurifie ma- terials owing to a general' incfeasé in building activity; the need for higher types of road surfaece, amd the poor transportation for road materials fur- nished by the railtonds, so that the publie must be padtient if we fail to produce as many miles of highway during the coming “years as we have done in the past, and espeécially if the decrease in mileage be aecompanied by a marked increase ‘in the cost of construction. Reference has.been made to the cost of maintenance.

S : The source of funds for the par- poses of maintenance and reconstric- | tion of trunk line roads is an appro- priation of $1,000,000 for two yeats, or fien,ooo for one year, plus receipts om automobile fees for thé term Oect. 1, 1918, to June 30, 1919. e The receipts from aiutomobile fees were $1,361,898.44, The grand total of all expenditures from this acGount for the nine months or the correspond term during which these'fees were” ceived were §$1,238,586.64. “Apparently this will show that the automébile fees would eover not only cost of mainté- nancé but the cost of ‘reconstruction or replacement. This is not true, since | the nihe months coveréd by this period are those months in-which the greater percentage of automovvtte fees i8 re- ceived. During July, August. and Sep- tember the receipts from automobile fees are comparatively light, while, on the other ‘hand, the expendituresfor road repairs, maintenance and recon- struction are heavier during thése mionths than for any other Six months® period of the year, so that provision must be made in expending the mowney to provide repair money during those moenths for which the automobile ré- ceints are low. . o The department has purchaged a| Doctors know that a great many| great many motor trucks for use in its|serious throat and lung troubles, and work, and has been allotted a' large|fatal cases of pneumonia develop from number of motor vehicles since the|neglected - colds: - Treat- your 1“¢old close of this renort by the United |promptly by using Fathey John's Medi- States government. cine which gives new strensth to ward | In the previous renort fnentiori wasfoff disease because it is. puré .and made of the establishment of a repair | wholesome nourishment for those who plant at Portland, Conu., for the pur- lafe weakened and run down.
