«PUBLIC TO DE . CIDE FUTURE ROAD BUILDING POLICY November, the people of lilinots will Aetermine the future road building pol-- jcy of the State. At this time, the vot-- ers will 'either approve or refect the proposed $100,00 ,000 band issue. ; Duting the past few years, lilinois has enjoyed the greatest road build-- ing era any state has--.ever had.

At least five or sizx years will--be ton'nd to complete the sys-- tem from current revenues. The ques-- tions the voters of the state must de-- olde then, are whether or not. they wish to walit until 1930 to complete the 'Present »system, and whether or not the pregent «ystem, when complated, would be adequate. The proposed $100,000,000 bond is-- sue bill, originated by Governor Len Email and enacted by the last General Assembly, provides for the completing the present 4700 mile system, and ad-- ding thereto approrimately 5100 milos. This will give a total paved road ayse tem of 9800 miles, or approximately 10 mmtofflnufllofl%coff the state..

Thomas, ~~ Grays Lake, Ill. -- + My Dear Mr. Thomas: I am in receipt of your letter of recent date asking m for information regarding Thomas E. Graham, who is a can-- / didate for representative in the General Assembly from the 8th Senatorial District. * + It has been my pleasure to serve with Mr. Graham in the 48th, 49th, 50th and 51st sessions. Mr. Graham was a hard-- working conscientious member. He was always in attendance and the house jourttal will show that he voted on all important questions, During the war Mr. Graham was energetic in sup-- port of all measures that were beneficial to the soldiers. Duting his xx;;ml;ership in the House he has favored all progressive legislation and worked and voted against appropriations which would unnecessarily increase the tax burdens. I have no hesitancy in recommending Mr. Graham on his record as shown by four terms in the Legislature and to say that he deserves re--election.

Accurate, reliable, sclientific tests show a saving of 3.6¢ per mile in op erating a car the year round on a paved road as compared to an earth road. On this basis, the 9800 mile sys tem, when fnished, will save Hlinois at :gt $64,000,000 per year.-- In compar-- with such gigantic sums, interest charges on bonds for fAnancipg the road work sink into insignificance. Unless a person owns a car, this great road system will not cost him one cent. If one owns a car, however, the lMcense fees will be dug annually whether the bond fssue carAes or not, because these fees have already been Axed by law.
