GOOD RODS [EGISLATION PROBABLE Special Committee Has Bill Now in Preparation MACHINES TO BE TAXED $1 Main Features Taken From Rhett Plan, But Does Not Go as Far in All Particulars. It really begins to look now as if there is going to be some practical and worth while legislation towards the permanent improvements of roads in South Carolina. The understand ing is that the special committee ap pointed under a concurrent resolution is going to report a bill which will of course have the backing of this spec ial committee, and all of the friends that it can secure. The main features of the bill are taken from what is known as the Rhett plan, but it does not go as far as the plan of Mr. Rhett in some particulars. As was outlined in The :A'_nday News, very necessary provision is made that every county is to get some of the money raised for permanent hard surface roads, which are to be made parts of the main systems in the State. The bill is now in preparation, but the essential features, are, first, that au tomobiles are to be taxed one dollar per horse power. This fund is ex pected to raise $1,200,000 to $1,500, 000. The fund is to be handled by the State highway Commission, in conjunction with the advisory com mission. Twenty-five per cent, of the total sum raisedl by the dollar per horse power tax is to be expendled by the commission for its expenses ,and for the building of permane~nt andl main bridges, which are to connect up the various sections of the State, the idea being that these bridges are to be placed in such places as will link up the proposed main highways. That is, the 2 per cent is to be used in the construction of bridges in such main developments as the bridging of the Santee river or the Broad river or the Catawba river or the Edisto river at such points as may be deemed nec essary by the State Highway Com mission. The remaining 75 per cent is to be expecndled on permanent hard surfaced roadls through the highwany commis sion, apportioning to each county so much of the fund as is proper in pro portion as the miles of road built in this county c'orrespondls to the ul ti nmate mileage under the proposed sys tem of development in the entire State. Will Involve Permanent Roads. rThe main dlevelopmnent wvill neces sarily involve permanent roads through each and every county of the State and the plan is to so dlistribute this 75 per' cent that a part of the fund can be used in each county on so much of the permanent system as the money will (develop, and gradu ally year by year add to these links GOOD TO TH *iTDO -IEL gnd eventually connect up the wholk State. This tax would not be available un til 1920. It is entirely. independent of the proposed bond issue which will be urged on its own merits and which has a chance of being adopted. The bond issue of course would not be available until after the election was held to vote upon the question, and subsequent ratification by the Gen eral Assembly. The bill outlined above would, if adopted, make a fund available in 1920. The bill to be proposed by the joint committee does not contemplate incorporating the federal aid fund, which is to be expended under the present regulation, that is, where counties undertake permanent road construction. Under the supervision of the State Highway Commissssion, they are to receive the proper pro portion of 'the federal aid as is now provided by law. Of course the idea in all of this is that whatever road work is lone in the several counties, is to be so coordinated in the develop ment of the general system that they can be linked up as the work pro greases.
