THE SOUNDNESS OF THE VARIOUS PLANS FOR FINANCING STATE HIGHWAY PROGRAMS ARE CONSIDERED. FINANCING METHODS IN WHICH THE MOTOR VEHICLE OWNER WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN WERE DISCUSSED. NO INVESTMENT IN A PUBLIC UTILITY IS JUSTIFIED FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT UNLESS THE SAVING EXCEEDS THE INTEREST CHARGE. CONDITIONS ARE SOUGHT WHICH PERMIT MINIMUM UNIT COST OF TRANSPORTATION. ITEMS ENTERING INTO THE UNIT COST AND THEIR INTERRELATION ARE EXPLAINED. IT IS CHEAPER TO PAY INTEREST ON A BOND ISSUE THAN TO PAY THE EXCESS COST OF OPERATING MOTOR VEHICLES OVER UNIMPROVED ROADS.
