If the mone ey was not being properly spent we would then have a chance to with. hold the appropriation and reorgan- ize the road department The temptation to extravagance when mo large a sum as $50,000,000 is put into the hands of any administra tion, seems too strong to be resisted Those who are in want to spend as much as it is possible before they are out, New York spent her first $50, 000,000 In five years and has only about 2,000 miles to show for. Many of the roads built with this money are already worn out and have to be, in a large measure, rebuilt. The present Highway Commissioner of New York is now getting up new specifications for roads which wiil be more lasting than those built with the first $50,000,000. The Interest is going on, however, whether the roads are there or not. How much better It would be to pay as we go and as we can afford to. By all means vote against the bond issue. 8. HH.
