Figures received by the as sociated highways show the Yes votes to have been nearly 200,000 more than the Noes. "The approval of the amendment by the voters of Pennsylvania is complete evidence that the people of this Commonwealth are progressive," said Ex-Senator John £. Fisher, of Indiana, president of the associated highways. "The state is now enabled to borrow money and build highways on a wholesale ecale." "Pennsylvania will have the best highway system in America within five years," was the declaration of William Jennings, of Harrlsburg, treasurer of the associated highways. "Transportation facilities will be Im proved and there will be great Im provement in economic conditions." Dr. P. T. Johnson, of Erie, vice president of the associated highways, declared that the vote Tuesday plain ly evidenced that Pennsylvanians are tired of their many meandering miles of mudways. "The vote means that'the people have learned that good roads are an economic necessity. Almost every county in the state has reversed its attitude of 1913, when the bond is sue was defeated by 41,000 votes." If the war is over before the legis lative sessions of 1919 end the con stitutional amendment providing that the state may borrow money will be put through by the state Senate and House. Not all the 250,000,000 bonds will be issued at one time, of course. The Legislature will say how and when the bonds are to be issued. In what form, the term and the interest to be paid.
