Conditions in communities are not different in this respect from those prevailing In a legislature. It la always a matter of education or a thorough acquaintance with the facls. law with whicn It Is urged voters must become Xamlliir teiore ihne is much chance of passing the measure are mentioned the following: Automobile money and federal aid will pay three-fourths of the cost.

The other one-fourth will be paid by hsaeaaments on districts extending for mile and a half back from each side of the proposed paved road. County road taxes levied on city property as well as farm glands will be expended on improvement of county roads so county roads will have moro money under thia law than they ha-ee had before, fhat is. roads outside the primary road system. The cost of paved roadf can be extended over a period of fifteen years thru ihe issue of county bonds and with this long time period to pay for them the cost can be paid entirely oOt of automobile fees and federal aid. Roads other than inter county roads will not be neglected sjs they will get more tax money than ever before.

It Is recognized that one of the biggest incentives for paving will be the examples set by counties which do do pave and this example will very probably be set by the counties having the large cities.
