day price tag of $38 billion The governor said his program will also remove road construction from the political arena The construction dollar will be distributed on a fair and equitable basis by road systems within develop- ment districts he said The State Department of Transportation will coor-dinate the activities with that of our local governments and the citizens of each of nine development districts in selecting priorities for improvements tax and to insure route continuity Dunn added that with inflation the price estimate could double by the 1990 completion date He also said that $28 billion was needed to simply bring the present roads system to adequate standards Although travel is projected to increase by some 116 per cent over the next 20 years he said this system only necessitates a six per cent increase in system mileage during the same period We are not therefore attempting to pave the countryside only to provide an adequate system to meet the demands that will be placed on it While the governor of- fered no specific financing method he said We are going to have to raise taxes at some point He was asked if he planned to push the program with next years budget and replied Its premature to say to you what I think we can do AFTER CHURCH CHICKEN and DUMPLINGS SUNDAY SPECIAL Fieldcfest "Fragrance" terry tovels COUNTRY FRIED STEAK and GRAVY Baked Alaska
